Nice review; I don't find these harsh at all in fact they normally start much smoother than the Blacks and Blues. The Lancero is a tremendous stick.

I am a big Pepin fan too. I believe the My Father to be one of his BEST. I just had another one today (6 months of rest) and it was fantastic. One of my favorite smokes. Let them rest and try them again.

Gotta add this to my list of need to try. Thanks for the review.

I definitely need to try this stick. Thanks for the review.

Not my fav but it seems to be the old story that after a rest of months they get better.This is a shame.
I have LOTS of DPG and many other top tier....THEY ALL benefit from a good rest.
I plan on resting most every stick I have a minimum of 6 months.
That's minimum.
I plan on PADRON to rest for 5 years.
I look forward to PADILLA improving also. Tho These are mostly multi-dimensional with little time in my boxes.

Well done review.
Thanks for the thought you put into it and being "real enough" to state your experience.

ADD; I think PERDOMO is aged right for smoking immediately...TORANO also.
