Aging Party Shorts
 

I'm very new to CC's, actually, this box of shorts is my first real cc experience. These little gems taste great as is, the box I have is from April of this year. How different will they actually taste with some age on them? I'm not sure I'll be able to age them at all cause they're so tasty, but I might get more to put aside. Also what else should I try, I've already put Monty #4's on my list, but there are so many choices, I'm unsure what to go for. Thanks in advance, any advice is greatly apriciated.

Hmmm.. I don't seem to be able to view that thread yet... Guess I'm still too new

I smoked a party short from 06 IIRC that was AWESOME.

Re: Aging Party Shorts
 

Party Shorts will be my first CC box purchase for sure. Shorts with a couple years on them are awesome! Had a few from '06 and they were super tasty.

I've gone through at least 3 cabs now and have never been able to age them. However, they can be found for sale aged from time to time. It's just a matter of checking often since they go quick. I think shorts with 6+ years of age are some of the best cigars I've ever tried.

I don't think I'll ever be able to hold a box for 5+ years.... Well I'll be building a new house soon and a walk-in humi is being worked into the plans... I suppose if I just bury them in the walk in maybe I'll forget that they're there for 5 or so years lol

Re: Aging Party Shorts
 

Hell, I can't hold a box for a year. I gift out too many to keep them around very long. :D

Re: Aging Party Shorts
 

The only way I can get any age on them is I have a backup cab. That way they may get a couple of years if I can find one that is a year old already!!

Re: Aging Party Shorts
 

:tpd:

I find buying them aged, for me, as of now, is about the only viable way for me to smoke aged sticks.

Re: Aging Party Shorts
 

No suggestions from anyone on others I should try?

I'm really diggin Boli PC's and Quintero Nacionales (decent cheap smoke)

Re: Aging Party Shorts
 

Why is there always an assumption that all CCs will go through a sick period. I know I do not have as much experience as many on here, but I tend to find a sick period the exception rather than the rule.

Re: Aging Party Shorts
 

Thanks for your reply Pete, I've tried the Quintero's they're not bad, I'm gonna place an order in the next few days, maybe I'll get some kind of sampler

Re: Aging Party Shorts
 

Yes but Chingas, how do you like the aged smokes you have acquired??
Any of them stand out?

Re: Aging Party Shorts
 

My party shorts are so old I can't get into them any more . . . which is probably a good thing.

Re: Aging Party Shorts
 

I have cabinets of 96 & 97s that are sublime, and taste much older than they are. I can only imagine what even older ones taste like.

Re: Aging Party Shorts
 

Boli PC is definitely a good way to go. The Nacionales aren't bad either but I've had hit or miss on a box I have. Mostly a REALLY tight draw on them.

This is true. I believe it's in the eye of the beholder (or smoker for that matter). I know though that my 08 Monte #2 are starting to have a different flavor then from right out of the box. I recently had an 07 and an 06 that were great.

Re: Aging Party Shorts
 

I had a couple draw issues rotb. But after a couple weeks at a hair under 65% rh, they opened up just fine. I'm about to open a fresh box soon, and thinking they will be okay. I also prefer a draw a little on the tighter side.

Do you mean the usual sick period, or something triggered by, say, not-quite-right storage conditions?
