I bought a fiver of these La Aurora 1495 Series Belicoso’s over a year ago. The first one I smoked was a disappointment. I waited a while to smoke the second one. It had improved a bit. A few months later, I smoked the third one. It was a little better still. So, I decided to put the remaining two into my long-term humidor to see if some extended resting would do anything for them. OH BOY! Did it ever. After a year of ageing, the flavors melded beautifully. Yes, time does wondrous things for tobacco. Cheers!
