Aging ciigars

UGA79

I am interested in aging some of my Cigar.com cigars.  I was interested in aging the MX2 by CAO, Cask Strength 5 Vegas, a few Man of Wars and Graycliff 1666. 

  Several questions:

 Is it worth aging these particular cigars?  If so, how long and at what humidity etc!

 

                        Thanks, Rob

Definately worth aging...throw them in humi typically you want to 65% - 70% RH and 65 - 70 degrees...one of the hardest parts to letting something rest is making sure you have lots to smoke so you aren't as tempted......

Maduros are typically great candiates for aging. I recently bought 30 RP OWR and split 50-50. 15 for smoking now and 15 for aging. I plan on smoking one of the aged ones after a year, then so forth for comparison. (of course, I gotta take notes)

If you have several of the same sticks, I'd suggest trying one of them every 3 months or so and taking notes to compare from the first to one a year later.

This is an excellent piece of advice.

Thanks for the info!  I have smoked all of them many times!  Great advice!  I have a few of each so I plan on waiting 6 months and then try one of each every three months and take notes!

I agree about aging only the fuller bodied cigars. My experience has been that most cigars mellow some in body while they improve in flavor.
