Toast & Taste Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 That's the hard part for me. I can sit on a box for a long time, but once I crack it I can't seem to stretch it out over time. Big Al Link to post Share on other sites

cigaraholic Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 Polish up your crystal ball Rob and pick out 20 boxes and I’ll take the other 10? The only certainty in Cuban cigars is there is no certainty. 10 years for a great box of cigars is nothing, getting a great box of cigars these days is something. Link to post Share on other sites

Sometimes if a box is smoking really well why wait any further? Once a box is on I generally smoke it pretty quick, 12-18 months or so. I'm way past my 20s and I think 10 years is an excessive aging goal. Here goes anyway. Cohiba Esplendito CORO Cohiba Siglo IV Bolivar PC Punch Punch Monte Cristo Especial #2 Partagas Lusitania Partagas 898 RASS H Upman #2 I find it tough to come up with ten cigars. I usually like the cigars I'm smoking right now best. Yesterday's a memory, tomorrow's a dream. and today is a present. Don't groan too loudly. I think most Cuban cigars are apt to expire faster than they were 20 years ago so I would seriously consider wrapping any box of cigars that is over 5 years old with some type of air restricting barrier. I've been using 5" industrial strength mini hand stretch wrap on special aged boxes for quite a while with good results. Link to post Share on other sites
Markspring1978 Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 If you have 10 years to wait, not only will anything in a 50 cab yield great results, in 10 years, they might not be available. 1. Partagas Shorts 50 cab 2. PLPC 3. Lusi 50 cab 4. HdM DC 50 cab 5. RASS 50 cab 6. HdM Epi 2 50 cab 7. Party 898- also doubt these will be available in 10 years. Get them while you can. 8. CoLa- IMHO, the best pound-for-pound “investment” in the CC world, and they age like a dream. 9. Fundies- put age on them and they just keep getting better. 10. SW- don’t even have to justify these. Just go check out any completed sale on BR for this one. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Fugu Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 Bury 10 boxes of Quintero Brevas. Small investment - thank me in 10 years. As for diversification - well, it’s a Habanos, it spells “variability” all over. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Babalouie Posted November 7, 2020 Share Posted November 7, 2020 With all the good stuff coming out of cuba the list is somewhat endless and more based in what you’d want. Shouldnt the question be what won’t last 10 years?? then go from there. i wouldnt know. everything i buy i plan to smoke now, while im here. Link to post Share on other sites
PuroDiario Posted November 7, 2020 Share Posted November 7, 2020 My list is not based on value, appreciation or aging potential. Simply stuff I would smoke all day everyday (ideally, as not a cheap endeavor) and I am missing many top picks, but if I had to chose I would chose this today.

vhampl03 Posted November 7, 2020 Share Posted November 7, 2020 @bundwallah of those boxes you listed that are > 10 years old, which do you think have benefited most from the time down? Ty - Vance Link to post Share on other sites

Ty - Vance Hmmm. I'd say the Punch DC. VR Unicos. Cohiba Esplendidos. P898. These really stood out for me. Though the rest of that list still performed great. In some cases, I'm smoking through 20YO boxes. (CoLa and P898) and they're just sublime. In the case of the Unicos , I raided them like a hungry racoon locked in a candy store. My other Unicos are not quite 10 yet, but they're getting close. Nonetheless I sample them to see how they smoke. Link to post Share on other sites
BrightonCorgi Posted November 7, 2020 Share Posted November 7, 2020 Just keep buying and storing, been into Habanos around 25 years. You'll have a collection in not such a long time. I've never seen a box of cigars cost less 5-6 years later than what I paid for it. Between taxes and inflation, cigars are not as money wasted as some other "hobbies". Can sell boxes to pay for more boxes too. I was at one point maybe 15 years ago that every box I owned was free from selling and buying. Now it's maybe 10-15% were "free" boxes. I've sold great boxes that I would cherish, but never got to them and getting a new box is 2/3 the fun for me. I'll sell any box if it's to fund new boxes. All of a sudden I have to vacu-seal boxes to store in my cellar. Ran out of room. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Rhinoww Posted November 8, 2020 Share Posted November 8, 2020 One surprise to me is the absence of any PLMC mentions. Just smoked one last weekend and have to say it was really enjoyable. Liked it so much I ordered a second box to see what they might taste like in a year or two as I know the box I opened won’t last more than a year. Was thinking about loading up a bit more to age some of the 19 and 20 stock. But no love in this thread. Makes me wonder why? 1 Link to post Share on other sites
