Aging badly?

[bobarian]

For the most part NC smokes are made to be consumed fresh(after acclimating to your humidor) usually that would mean within the first year. Most NC's are rolled with aged tobacco which has already gone through several fermentations and is most likely at the peak of its flavor. As you experienced, most aged NC's just taste old.

hmm good to know, Ive had a few that have been great aged and just assumed that all would be like that. but like joan rivers, they cant all age gracefully...
