Aged cigars

[oskihen]

I generally take five or so out of a box of 25 and lay the rest down and forget about them , I keep buying boxes and box splits so I've now got 75 or so in desktops and numerous boxes ageing away nicely

Trying so hard to age cigars, although i always break and smoke them...Got my top rack of my humidor, just for ageing, but the temptation to smoke makes me feel like an addict...lol

Gangstarrr's 2 box theory is the way to go if it's possible. If not, a scaled down version "the 2 stick theory" may work better .

Ha, nice idea TonyN but what if she doesn't give it back!

Well if she doesn't maybe buy a bunch of flowers or a romantic night out.

I tend to put boxes that I want to lay down either on the bottom shelf of my humidor, or at the back of another shelf. I then rely on my memory to forget that they are there.

Or forgets where she put it!!!

Ageing is hard, I sometimes buy aged singles or the odd box and there is a definate differance. I've tried the 2 box method but it's a bit costly, so I am currently trying with single boxes. when they arrive I take a few out to smoke and put the rest away. My theory is if I have enough in my rotation I should be able to put a few years on them before I plunder again. Only time will tell.

Most CC boxes I bought already had age on them as I got them on trips to Malta and Germany. But generally I'd go and find some nice NCs you like, and some CC to put away. It means you'll have to smoke NCs for about 5 years, which isn't a bad thing, and then you have a fresh stock of aged CC every year that you can mix in with the NCs. (That's if you add to the stock every year...)

NC's for 5yrs! Is anyone that patient? smoke less but better quality & your stock of aged smokes with still grow, whilst you smoke prime Havanas.

Sounds like my kind of plan![emoji106][emoji2]

I find no problem at all with ageing bigger Cuban because the occasions to smoke them are so seldom.

What Arf said, I've got a few big smokes ageing because I don't get many ops to smoke them. I'm starting to get some stock now so it should be easier to forget about boxes.
Try buying RE's, good way to get aged cigars.

One of the boxes I got from Cuba was the RYJ Pyramides anjero, rolled in 2008 and aged by them... Would you still consider this an aged cigar?

I have some 20 year old monte 2 and they are simply wonderful but of course not many left....
Buy the oldest you can find and leave them alone for at least 5 years.

I'm new to having a cigar collection and do want to start aging Cigars....

So what my question is...how do you choose what Cigars to age?

Ie should they be a certain ring gauge? Or particular brand or is it just personal preference?
