Aging potential

The3Stogies

Was wondering about today's cigar deal, Gurkha Triple Ligero. Is it a good smoke? Has anyone aged these? Do you think they have aging potential? Which cigars anyone has aged? Looking to age something soon but still learning. So many questions, so many cigars.

Wish I could tell you. I actually have a Triple Ligero that's been sitting in my humi for over a year. As it's been mentioned, a very general rule of thumb is that the more powerful cigars tend to age better.

generally speaking the spice seems to go away first in my experience. they get smoother first. any sharper flavors mellow.

I have some Sancho Panza Double Maduros and Perdomo Lot 23 Maduros that are just amazing now.

I'm still new at this too, but may I throw the proverbial monkey wrench? Don't different cigars peak at different ages? Where an Opus "blossoms" after years, maybe something else (say an SCCC) is best at 6 months or a year?

That's true in general, though the SCCC isn't a good example as they age wonderfully. With 2 years on a box of #4 they smoke great and I like them better than fresh, and I liked them a whole lot with no age.

I have had a box of LGC Serie R #5's in my humi for just over 3 years now and they are smoking great, I only have a couple left and am hoping they, at least 1, makes it to 4 years.
