    Diamond Crown Maximus (made by A.F. actually)

    NCs to never age:
    most of the others really. of course, the problem with lists is that you always forget some damn ones. but those ones above are definitely worth ageing. especially the diamond crown maximus. but those reach prices of cuban chrchills!! they're also so damn glamourised that it's not even worth laughing at anymore (not only is it a crown, but it has diamonds and it's to the MAX!).
    anyways, most NCs lose their strength or letheriness whent they are aged. that's a real shame considering they're the selling point of La Flor Dominicana, My Uzi Weighs a Ton, etc.
    but the most generic ones are just too cheap to age. My Father, La Aurora, etc vits are 5-8 bucks and really not meant to be aged. i heard they do fair a tad better with age, but not worth the hassle or time. save it for your RYJs or Cohibas. and not the NCs

      I'm starting to wonder if some of the NC's that have an overly large NicKick would benefit from a couple years to mellow?

        sometimes (like the case of LFD or some La Auroras) they actually lose their profiles because they lose their kick... shame, really. the LFD Chisels are prime examples of this.

              In my humble opinion The difference is in the blending ... I believe CC's are blended with aging in mind. Each cigar is put together in the expectation it will be aged and therefore should improve in doing so. NC's are blended with the expectation that the cigar is to be smoked sooner rather than later.

              It's just my opinion and I'm probably wrong but that's how I've wrapped my head around it. Since I've smoked NCs that often hit the ground running compared to a CC. I don't recall smoking an aged NC so I'm afraid I can't make the comparison.

                That sounds like an intelligent view to me

                  I think it is true that NC's are blended to be ready to go OTS but Cubans have no understanding/notion of ageing. It was (I believe) a discovery by UK cigar merchants a long time ago.

                    Yes but was only stumbled across out of necessity as they reeked so badly of ammonia which is no longer the case. A lot of new cc are good straight away though aging will mellow them and bring out the less dominant flavours. Very similar to NC in my opinion with ageing now.

                      What does ammonia smell like? Everyone seems to mention it, but I have no idea what there talking about.

                        Not many men survived smelling it in WW1! I think it's quite pungent.

                            Urine is extremely high in ammonia.... Think your cats litter tray if there's no solids in there.... or a tramps pants. But probably toned down a little.
