Question about aging

Some cigars lose their spice and their flavor. Not all of it but enough to make you disappointed. I have a hard time aging smokes so good luck. I just wanna smoke em as fast as I can get them.

If you like your cigars fresh and strong with some bite, then they will get worse. If you want them to smooth out, loose some bite, and have some flavors rounded out, then they will get better. This is about as general of a response as you will get.

this pretty much sums it up.

its really a gamble depending how long you put a smoke down if its gonna mellow out too much. this normally happens to NC due to the fact that most are already aged prior to making it to your humi.

CC's tend to age better but like all cigars after a certain point (maybe a few years or 10 years) they can begin to mellow out to much and lose some of its distinct flavors and kick.

I believe you will find that many will disagree with you on this point.

i think "lose" was a bad word. i would say more the flavors will change to a certain extent. from what ive noticed NC tend to mellow while CC might change, if that makes any sense.

thanks for pointing that out bob

i found that the VSG is good with 2-3 years on it but when it gets to the 8 year mark it looses what makes it good.

I disagree....I have some ORs (from 1999) that are some of the best cigars I have had...No strength at all, but the flavors and complexity are amazing...

Having said that, I don't think there are many NCs that will stand the test of 10+ years...
