I love factory seconds!
I've gone through about half a box of Sancho Panza Double Maduros (Quixote size). The last two I have had have been tasty for the first 1/3 or 1/2 ish and then start to develop a woody taste. The woody taste quickly turns into Ammonia. Just plain nasty! I did a search on the boards and it seems cigars let off some ammonia when they are resting. This box is ~2 months old or so. Stored in a coolerdor at 70% rh with beads (gotta dry off my beads a little, the basement is too humid). I open the cooler for air exchange at least three times a week. More if I get more opportunities to smoke. The cooler doesn't smell like ammonia and the sticks didn't prelight.
So what is going on? Should I just let them rest more, air them out, any ideas?
Thanks for the help!
