i was going to start a thread about this but this is the perfect place to ask the question. how do you age a cigar that you love to smoke. i can't seem to age anything i love because i can't control myself not to smoke it. is the trick to buy multiple boxes so you can smoke one box while aging another. i know i can't be the only person who has this problem. i mean my goal was to make my box of cohiba's last a couple years. but between smoking abd gifting i am almost out again. haha

Have you seen how many cigars rip gets in? Boxes and boxes. I'm up to about 500 so thats how my strategy of aging works, just buy way way more than you can smoke and have tons of variety. You are bound to have hundreds of aged cigars in a few years at that rate. Or buy 2 boxes, one to smoke throughout the year, the other to open in a few years.

thats exactly what i was thinking. one to smoke one to age. i have enough cigars now that they will be aging just based on the fact i can't smoke them all in 10 years. haha
hows the project coming along rip. how do you choose which cigars you think will age well. there has to be something in the taste profile that lets you know it will be better with age. is it a sharpness that you hope will round out. whats the secret.
Nice box. I like to un cello about 5 to 10 when I put an NC box down for aging. Maybe its just opinion but I think they age faster without the cellophane on.
Wow, now that's a collection bro, u can send me 1 and I will give it a review lol, seriously though that's a cool idea can't wait to c how it turns out, wish I was doing this project.
Hi Jeep, I added 18-20 boxes to my aging project recently. I brought some Cuban cigars from 2000, 2003, 2004, 2006. They do not need further aging but i am experimenting with It. I am close to believe that sometime longer aging also loss some delicate background flavors and notes. I cannot vouch for this theory until I smoke some more. Lately, I have been smoking a lot. I will share the findings periodically.
jeep edson:
added anything new lately rip. or smoked any that you want to comment on.
Your welcome Jeep. I am happy to know that you enjoy these threads. I will include all the boxes I have added to this project periodically. I need to figure out how to organize this thread more systematically. Thanks!
jeep edson:
thanks rip. this is one of my fav threads. and your review thread i look for everyday hoping there is a update.
The Montecristo Grand Edmundo Limited Edition 2010 cigars are deeply rich and medium strength cigars with an initial shot of spice that develops into a smooth, rich creaminess with accents of roasted coffee, witha sweet refined cedar finish. These Limited Edition cigars have a much selected wrapper, simply flawless in appearance and construction. All leaves in this fine cigar have been specially aged for over two years. Excellent burn, draw and smoke volume are consistent throughout. The Limited Edition Montecristo Grand Edmundo cigar is great cigar now, with even greater potential with some quality aging time in the humidor. [Source: CDH]
I agree with your observation on faster aging...Thanks!
