Same here. I have been flying through them. Excellent favors right out of the box.
Sadly I have not had any 2012's yet. Heard nothing but great things, But That cashew flavor you speak of...never had it in any cigar. Have you had any other sticks with such a flavor?
+1. I have too much stock with some decent age on it now that I don't even have space for any 2012/2013 boxes - need to either smoke faster or buy more storage (the latter not being a very good idea).
Admittedly I do smoke way more than I thought. I do have enough aged stock to last me over a year and a deep stock of 2010/2011. Some of the boxes I buy now I smoke one to see how they are, others won't be opened for years. I recently bought another box of HU royal robustos. I have 2 boxes of 2011 that I buried not to be opened until 2015. Curiosity got the best of me so I got a box to try one out. I must say that they are outstanding fresh. Have not had a 2012 half corona yet but have been enjoying the 2011's since last year. My new train of thought is if something is good now, why wait? I do not use that theory on Cohiba though. 3 years minimum before ill start working through a box.
Well, look at that. I'd forgotten all about my HU Royal Robustos. I have a couple boxes of 11s and a couple 12s too. I just smoked a 2012 this past Saturday. It was indeed a damn great smoke Mike. The 2011 ORs being the reason I went back for more. The Upmann RRs definitely smoke great now, so I'd agree...no sense waiting if that's the case. My desire for diversity however, will allow them to at least get another 3-5 years on them before they're all gone.
