I know this can vary a lot, but how much time is too much time to age a cigar? I know it varies from stick to stick, but what would you say the generally accepted maximum time to age a cigar?
There is no generally accepted maximum time for aging a cigar, at least none that can be stated with security. What most people who age their cigars will do is try one a year until they feel they have reached their peak and then smoke the rest while they're peaking. It totally depends.
Just remember your sticks will mellow with age from what I've read. So I would assume you wouldn't want to age your mild sticks for to long. And your full bodied sticks that punch you in the gut might lose a bit of that punch. But that's just theory on my part the oldest stick I've had was a year old and it was a a totally different cigar than the ones I had with just a couple weeks on them.
I haven't been able to have many with more than a year on them, then ones I do have like that I am continuing to age and am saving for a special occasion. I have one from 1997 and a few from 2001-2006, but not a lot older than 2010 relative to the rest of my sticks
