Busted one of these out tonight after resting since May '11. Was gifted.


It's still very, very young. Plenty of ammonia, which disappeared for a few moments here and there so you could taste some decent tobacco.


I had to let it die just short of the halfway point as the ammonia was becoming acrid. I think they really intended for this stick to be aged because of it's limited status. Just a word to the wise if you have 1 or 2 I'd sit on it a long while.
I have another and will rest it a good long while before smoking.

    Good to know. This wont be a problem with the amount of stick waiting to be torched.

    That's a bummer! Just picked up an order on yesterdays DD, had one from the COTM that I smoked a couple weeks ago that was probably one of the best cigars I smoked all year, so I'm hoping that yours was an anomaly, and mine was representative of what's to come. I've had the Limitadas from '09 to present, (maybe an '08, but I'm not sure) and all have been top-notch so far, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed that I don't have to hold these for some inordinate amount of time. We'll see, anyone else with experience on these?

    Well, I had to try one of these from the DD, and I have to say, it needs rest, or age...whatever. Not terrible or anything, and I can see why it made CCOMS "best to age" list.

    I've had two. Both were good on flavor, but they both blew out on me. Have seen a couple other people mention that too.
