Has anyone tried these?

I had 2 that were great for the price or any price for that matter so I bought a box and these are terrible.
I'd compare these to sinatras. Sorry to anyone that I might have sent these to.
Can I expect these to get better? Or was I just lucky with the first 2 ?

aging is your best hope, so many things could be at issue. Upmanns aren't a fav of mine, but they are usually consistant.

The box I bought was bad out of the chute with the first cigar. I put it down for about 3 months and then the next one I smoked was better. I think that with time they should be good.

These are the little cigars that tried. I think it's the mahogany box that contributed to the lack of flavor and the fragile (pronounced fra-GEE-lay

) wrapper. Age them in a cedar box for six months and I think you'll see an improvement.
