Noticable Curiosity

What about the ones from 2010, will they be similar in 5 years to the other Monte #2s after 5 years? Is there a consistency even in the CC side of things? Or is that all over the map too, but they don't just start new brands - simply LEs or REs?

I am simply curious.

The short answer is no, it doesn't taste the same.

I am not sure what the original questions are at this point, but that may be my own dumbness. What are you wanting to know?

HAHAHAHA!!! Go back and read the first post. There isn't really any specific one question we're dealing with, simply some musings and ponderings on the longevity of cigars... and why the growth and popularity of the newer brands...? and if they'll stay...? and why they're here...? and....

Yeah, that's it.

I think the first post sets a good pace and the conversation has revolved and evolved from there.

How are you defining new brands?

Yep!

You define it as you see fit. Go back to the first post and you'll see what I wrote - I don't think I gave "new brands" a definitive age. To me, anything that has appeared since 2001 would be a new brand, someone else might define it differently.

Someone who has been smoking since Jan. 2011 finds all of them both new and old at the same time. They are new to him, but they've been around since before he started smoking.

I guess it is relative. You can use my definition (see above) or your own.

Sorry, that probably didn't help much.
