I bought a box of the Fuerza in Feb '11, they have just started to open up now....I tried a couple shortly after buying and was not happy at all, bad draw, not very good tasting....They are now starting to become nice to smoke...There is no need to dry box...I keep all of my stuff around 65% rh and well under 70 degrees...how old are they? Put them to sleep for 6 months (mine are 4 but I believe will be really good at 6)....these cigars will age very nicely, they just take time to open up...

FWIW. I am a huge DPG fan, The Green Label 601 IMO is a very good cigar. I smoke em right out of my humidor 70rh with no problems. I havent had one in a while and I will revist, either tonight or tomorrow. I would strongly suggest retrying. Another suggestion may be to pre-draw the stick before dryboxing One can usually tell if there will be draw issues at this junctior and if the draw is tight you may want to then drybox. long term overhumidification can have an effect cigar and water it down so to speak. Dryboxing will not correct this. Anyway those are my thoughts. May I also suggest the San Cristobal I think you will find that one very nice as well.

Im a huge 601 EO brands supporter. I frequent the EO forum often and Eddie Ortega has said many times none of the blends have changed. IMO we have no reason not to believe him. He seems to have a true passion for his product and a genuine appreciation for those who enjoy his cigars. Just my take on it anyway. I guess you never really know.

Nice, I figured you would get to enjoying this cigar if given a 2nd chance. To me the whole EO Brands line is very solid. Ive never had any QC problems with thier stuff the way others have mentioned.
