i agree they need some more time, just like the more powerful opus sticks i feel need time to tone down and let some of the sweetness come forward. maybe it's a characteristic of that particular wrapper leaf, shade or sungrown.

I paid 21 a stick for the box of churchills I got from the first run so 20$ for the Robustos is a little steep (not taking into account taxes and what not) so it may actually not be that bad of a price. As far as the smoke in concerned I think age will do these guysÃÂ wonders!! I smoked one the other day and I think they already taste better. Some people have given up on them completley and have said they are not worth it, but for me I think these will be a real gem in a few years
So what say you?ÃÂ Are they worth the money or was I wise to spend that $20 on a pair of Padilla Signature 1932 toros instead.ÃÂ
