Joined my son in a cigar on his birthday. I chose an Especiales because i had nothing to drink and it was around lunch... performed well, definitely bigger in body and stronger in flavour than a couple years ago (still mild though). From memory, nice leathery Montecristo style flavours without the cocoa of the No.4, maybe a touch of oaky fruitiness. Enjoyable and smooth. Deserved some kind of drink especially near the end... I still wouldn't smoke it after a strong tasting meal. Overall this box has improved with age, a little, but my overall impression is that the tobacco for both filler and wrapper was not the tastiest ... luck of the draw. Hence why i now try to get our boxes from merchants who will open them up and select according to requirements...
