La Suerte Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 I'm a great believer in, smoke what you like, when you like.. I'm lucky to be the third generation cigar smoker in the family & learnt from that. Most good cigars on production will remain good cigars aged. People talk about cigars mellowing, that's not necessarily true. If by mellow they mean harsh flavours & ammonia being toned down then I would agree..but I don't want harsh or ammonia in my cigars. Nobody as far as I am aware has done any scientific analysis on ageing as the variables are too great..all that's known is word of mouth & peoples experience. I don't buy to age specifically, but will put a box away of a cigar I like (in bacofoil) & see what happens, I will check randomly to see what's happening & if they happen to be great I'll probably smoke a few. The good side of ageing can be wonderful, I'm smoking excellent cigars now & I smoke 3ish a day, that I certainly couldn't afford at today's inflated prices on RE's LE's etc. in the UK... Smoke some - put some away - be patient is the best advice I can give,,, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maverickdrinker Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 An interesting thing about aging is I find that some cigars actually get stronger. Smoking a 01 Upmann No 2 tonight and it has some kick to it. Great flavours but fuerte. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
