Different times...from a year (belicosos/toros) to almost two years (robustos). May be that these sticks just don't age well.

Your palette could be changing too.

John...I thought the same thing, at first. I smoked a few of my other "go-to" sticks and they were still right on point. I still enjoy my "slap you in the face spice bombs" as much as I ever did before.

Never smoked the Mira Flors so I was just taking a stab in the dark. I know 4 years ago the Fuente Sungrowns used to have a spice to me just from the wrapper touching my tongue. Over time I noticed that I never got that kick ever again even when I grabbed some fresh from the shop. I chalked it up to my palette changing but I do miss that spice that I used to get off of them. I just figured you may be experiencing the same thing since your boxes seem to be at significantly different stages of their life.
