Possible interesting aging experiment... anyone try this?

Hey I was just reading the "What makes a premium cigar for you?" thread and a gas station cigar was mentioned... I wonder if I bought one of those 3 dollar crappy cigars, with enough age would it be actually enjoyable? I would really be interested if someone had done this already to hear more about it.. I want to buy a few, age them for a few years or so (at least over 1 year) and send one in a Mystery Stick Game package.. any thoughts?

I don't think anything could make a gas station cigar good. Age can only make a good cigar better, it can't make a bad cigar good.

I totally agree with Evan, love the Flor De Oliva for everyday smokes.

If you guys remember, I still have a three-year-old black and mild sitting for a super special occasion!

God I had a Black and Mild in my humidor until it made the whole thing smell like it then I threw it out into the street.

You can get some great stick here for around $1.50. They just had the 5 Vegas deal, the've had Indian Tabac for the same price, and it's been a while (hint) but have had Sol CCC for around that price. I personally wouldn't get a cigar at a gas station for $3 when I could have had a 5 Vegas Classic and an A in it's place. If you did however try that, I would be interested.

I'm going to chalk this one up to ... Willing to let you try it first. Barely smoke the good 'gars I have now fast enough!

thanks for all the input so far guys.. I would much rather buy good cigars for the prices here on ccom than buy a gas station cigar, I was just curious as to whether or not time in the humi would do a gas station cigar any good

I have about 20 or so of the Cuban Crafter Honduras Maduros and Nicaraguan Maduros that have been hanging out for almost a year. First one I smoked (nearly a year ago) was so so. Nothn special. But I took one out to the golf course one day a month or so ago, and wow. It honestly blew my socks off. It has a tiny bit of sweet that comes through, nice rich cedar, and a little hint of leather...plus tons of smoke! All in all, those cheapo have turnd out to be pretty damn tasty (especially for the about 90 cents a stick I paid for em)

I wouldn't want to waste my humidor space on a gas station cigar.

I heard Tim's Beard once aged a grape White Owl for 12 months and it tasted like a God of Fire!
