Random cigar comparison

[Electric Sheep]

Last night I smoked a Tatuaje Black, one of the non-retail sizes that Pete was giving out in '08 as gifts w/box purchase. (dunno if he still does that, been a year since I've seen him).

Tonight, I lit up a Fuente Añejo 46 from '07.

Now the last time I smoked either of these sticks, they were pretty fresh. I really enjoyed the hell outta the Tat Blacks back in the day, but haven't had one since. And truth be told, I was really pretty disappointed last time I smoked an Añejo, so I wasn't expecting much outta it.

Turns out after sitting on em a couple of years, I really preferred the Añejo. I can't believe it. I never thought Añejos changed that much after sitting, but it seems bolder and richer than I remembered them being. And the Tat Black? Well, it was really mellow--perhaps too mellow.

Have my tastebuds and/or flavor preferences changed that much, or have the cigars?

:dunno:

So your conclusion would be NCs don't age well? other than the anejo? guess I better get to smoking what I have left.

I'm thinking that the Anejo just did so well that it just overshadowed the Black.

Damn tastebuds seem to change more often then not in my opinion. I've had cigars I liked 6 months ago and know I could care less. Just have to revisit from time to time.

Duane first off did I miss your re-intro!?!? W.B. brother! The 3 pack Robos never shined like the black Cgs IMO. And also I think the Cgs are loosing their profile somewhat as well. That would be my take at least! Good to see ya brother!

No, no re-intro. I just don't post much nowadays. I come and go (that's what she said).

Yeah I'm thinking you're right about the blacks tho.

But then again, it could be my tastebuds. LOL
