Cigars that are already aged and ready to smoke

ApexAZ · 09-15-2014, 01:19 AM

I have deliberately aged a few boxes of cigars for about a year, but everything else I smoke it right away. If a NC doesn't taste good to me shortly after I buy it then I probably won't smoke too many of that brand and vitola. Most NC are produced to be enjoyed by the time they reach you anyhow.

Brandon: I Try To Let My Cigars I Purchase Or Receive In A Trade "Rest" For 3 Months In My Humidor Or Coolidor At My Chosen RH & Temperature. This Has Worked Well For Me Over The Years. Some Sticks, Like The Fuente Opus X, Seem To Smoke Much Better After 5 Years Of Rest, IMO. Some NC's Lose A Lot Of Their Flavor After 1 Year. Experiment Yourself To Find "Your" Ideal "Resting Time".

I plan I getting to that! It will be a nice day once I realize I have enough stock that I just naturally rotate new buys this way and don't have to think about them for a while.
