For a few years I smoked Henry Clays (Brevas Finas) exclusivley. I could never tell that aging changed them at all. For me they were the closest thing to a Cuban I could find. Not that I smoked Cubans you understand. The only complaint I ever had about a Clay was that they did not burn evenly, I'm sure due to the loose roll and heavy tobacco. Clays are good to chew on unlit. Kinda like Brown's Mule.
