That sounds right! It's just like people. Age can mello a man,make him better,where some,no matter the age or intellect are stuck in the "SICK" period.

I'm guessing most us on the forum fall into the "SICK" age. LOL!

An old fart is one you let loose in the store and someone walks around the corner and hits it. Am I the only one who stands and watches?

Not the only one by a long shot. That is the highlight of my shopping experiences most times lol. Never gets old.

I'm king of changing the subject so here goes. Can anyone add accurate information of any kind to the description of the Resposoto cigar items on here? I think they have three different wrappers,made by A J F,and a salomon (spelling) shape. Are they seconds? Are they great? Are they the Best Buy? You know.  I think they are boxes of 30.  Here is my only friend. He is a old fart too. Been here for 6 years and deaf / half blind.

My buddy Eddie New Years Day morning. He prefers the JR Catnip Blend.

As a guy who rolls cigars, I prolly have a different perspective on this. 

1. If you want to smoke a cigar right off the table, there's nothing wrong with that. But smoke it now, today, not tomorrow. Three or four days down the road, your gar tends to turn rank. So smoke it right fresh off the table period now.
2. About six weeks of age, a cigar reaches its first plateau. Here, whatever might have gone rank and stodgy off the table disappears. Good to go. Here is where you find out whether this blend has potential.
3. About six months of age, your various tobacco flavors will have learned to play well together. If this blend is going to be excellent, this is when you find out.
4. At about a year or year and a half, your blend has mellowed. You are all set. More age does not improve a thing. Too much age weakens the thing.

It's darn hard to imagine that you will smoke any commercial blend before the six month threshold, just because of distribution times. 

If you smell ammonia, something got too wet and never had a chance to dry out. Dry it out or throw it out.

I like the Reposado Connecticut.  Which may not be a good indicator, since I usually don't smoke Connecticuts.  There's a sampler with 5 of each, if you can find it.  They pretty much fall into the OK to Pretty Good range for me, if you like Salomons.  

I love Salomons, big figurados that last until bedtime.

I'm not a fan of mild cigars for the most part,so the C wrapper would not be my first choice. I love the Salomon shape like you! I was suspecting these might be seconds of Ave Maria or something else from The Fernandez line up.
