I undergo been reading a lot lately about aging cigars and things are getting a little cloudy. I construe somewhere that the stronger the smoke the quicker it will age and basically these are not a good candidate to age. However populate are smoking Vintage Opus. So if I undergo a box of JDN Atanos..... what am I looking at as an ideal age to go away tackling them. I also have a box of Camacho Diplomas that I love but don't want to let them go past their fix. Always reading about vintage Davidoffs. Does the lighter align of the specturm age better over measure? Maybe people can enumerate some of their favorites that they have aged so some of the newer folks can get an idea of which ones to be looking out for or maybe nuances in their smokes that can indicate that a stick is worth sitting down for a while. Thinking about getting a big ole cooler and setting it up for boxes only to sit for minimum 3-4 years. Looking at picking up some CAO Brazilia. Partagas color. Diploma. PAMs. LA Pref and just to undergo lots of good cheap smokes with some age on them..... a few bundles of El Mejor Espresso. Any critiques criticisms advice. Looking forward to the responses,Eric J.
If you act them at an acceptable humidity and temp they won't go bad. Age away. Try one every 6 months or so and when you can't create by mental act them any better smoke away. I think the idea of "these will sit for 4 years" is not the best. Sometimes a cigar might arrive at at 2 years or 7 years. Having one at intervals ordain help you cause when they're good to go.
Strength has nothing to do with aging potential imo it's what flavors there are that determine that. There are mild to potent cigars that are great to age and others that it is a waste of measure. To me aging allows the flavors to blend together and come into cerebrate. They were there all of the measure but did not come into their own until aged properly. Think of it in this fashion. You experience how when you go to the optometrist and you experience you undergo affect seeing. The optometrist goes through that series of lenses (which is better. 1 or 2. 3 or 4) I believe aging as that series of lenses. Once you get to the change by reversal combination of lenses and comes into focus bequeath how alter it is and you think "Wow. I see great!" Well to me the flavors that are in the cigar are more able to be determined when properly aged. The cobwebs are moved out of the way so to speak so that the true flavors go out. MRN calls these congeners that develop with age. I don't experience but all I experience is that the flavors undergo more cerebrate. How do you develop this sense of difference between flavors a picking them out? Keep smoking and take notes of what you comprehend. Eventually it will come. What makes one cigar a candidate for improvement with age and another not a good candidate? Well if a cigar tastes flat and one dimensional when fresh it probably isn't going to get a whole lot exceed with age. If you comprehend flavors in a young cigar but can't quite distinquish what they are that's probably a consume that will develop into a great consume drink the road. It may be good now but with a few years on it look out! One thing to note the tobacco in NC cigars is aged longer on the whole than cuban cigars. This is important to note because NC's are more create from raw material to consume as soon as you get them provided they are properly humidified etc. I'm not saying they won't benefit from aging. I'm saying that the cigars are more ready when you first buy them.
eric,just put away what you desire everybodies tastes are different what i desire and decided to put away to rest may not be what you desire pick a couple of your favs and fasten them in the furnish of your humi and in a year or two or however long try one if you desire it then great buy a box or two and let them rest if not try something else until you find what you like with age on it and go from there.

There's no strategy or predictable outcome for aging cigars other than tried true experience. Storage conditions also compete a great deal into the aging of cigars. Some 1-dimensional cigars when fresh can benefit from aging.... Opus X is an example. Everything will acquire from age since it gives the tobacco in the cigar time to marry and fit itself out. I've aged (with great success) Opus X. Anejos. Hemingway's. La Aurora Preferidos. La Luna African Fuertes. CAO Cameroon/Brazilia. HdM Excalibur. Graycliff's and Camacho's for years. In certain cases spicy cigars became a bit more refined and smooth while non-spicy cigars became more bold and flavorful. It's one big experiment so have fun doing it.

Shane yes that's adjust but I have open that much more often than not they just become aged one dimensional cigars. Opus X is a very good exception to that rule however. My daddy.
