Had a few Johnny O’s here and there, only the EL line.
I got my first bundle coming of EL Genios and wondered how much downtime these will need? I see some guys lay down for a few years, others love the EL line fresh. I realize these were recently rolled so we’ll be dry boxing a week or so to asses, but what’s the main consensus here?

I always go by taste. That’s the only way. I find that most times they are good to go, but give them at least 3 days up to a week, and should be good to go. Then when they start tasting sick leave them for 6 months, maybe sample ever now and then. After 2 years should be good to go. As I mentioned to you before, some never truly go sick, so it’s all taste, and you will get it figured out. Good luck and enjoy those Genios. Let us know how they are.

FWIW and whoever is wondering the cigars arrived in two days, firm as could be and smoked like a dream after an overnight drybox!!
