Another Question About Aging

jpclotfelter

Are there certain types of cigars that age better than others? I know that with wine there are certain characteristics that make certain varieties of wine better suited for aging. Does the same hold true for cigars? For instance...If I bought two boxes of Perdomo ESV '91s, a Connecticut and maduro, would one of the two cigars be more suitable for aging?

Im not sure about certain types aging better than others but I know that fuller cigars are better when aged as the oils mesh together. The " harshness" goes away. Personally I have to let all of mine rest for at least 6 months before I will smoke them. I'm sure Kuzi or Jo has more knowledge on the matter than I. So I am actually going to wait for one of them to add because I am curious as well.

I try to let everything rest about 4-6 weeks before I smoke one as well.

generally speaking, the more full bodied a cigar is the better it will stand up to age.

Seems they only get milder with age until there's nothing left: http://www.cigarnexus.com/counsel/aging/index.html

It could be just my tastes, but I swear that medium to full bodied maduros will age very well. Especially if you age them with other maduros
