It does seem odd, but I'm of the opinion that the quality of goodies coming from Cuba is continuing to improve even above the magical levels seen in '05-'07. Moreover, the smaller formats are starting to come into their own.
Agree 100%
2008 was sketchy,some good, some not so much.2009 began a string of above average smokes,2010 kicked it up a notch,2011 to 2013 were even better,to the point that many cigars were excellent before being even a year old.
Some of my 09s and 10s are improving,but even now the '11 to '13 sticks are more aromatic and flavorful.
This could be a result of the excellent weather in 2010 to 2013,all of the Non cuban growers were glowingly describing the crops and yields they brought in,so why not Cuba?
Buy them now while they are cheap and available,a couple of bad years could change it all around...........
