Re: Question about aging

Agreed on the Opus, they age great. Have some going back to 2005. I can't smoke them fresh though, way too powerful and harsh.

Exactly, good example. The Opus is such a strong cigar that when it starts out you are tasting the potential alongside a lot of harshness in the form of ammonia and esters which will dissipate with time, leaving the blend to marry in a way that it never will if smoked young.

Take a box of those and age most of them 10 years, and you have magic.

Re: Question about aging

I'd venture that of all the NCs that I've aged, the short story was by far the best. After about 3 years, they get amazing.
