Aging by default

Hey thanks for the heads up Shadow. I'll definitely be firing more of them up

Never bought VSGs so have no idea.

Hey thanks for your input. These (Padron) cigars are just great cigars to begin with. I'm expecting the best from them

Can't wait till I'm there... thanks for the input

SmokinApe, don't worry your not being rude. The reason for the "experiment" was because I have enough stock of them that I don't think I could possibly smoke them all that early
