2008 toast across american box set ?
 

So i have a 2008 toast across american box set sitting in my humidor. Now ive never actually smoked either brand but i hear both need alot of age. Is close to 3 years enough age for these to smoke well? I said i good amount for these 2 and would obviously not want to "waste" them by smoking them before they are ready.

The 2007 is ready IMO. Had one a few years back and they were excellent. Maybe smoke the 2008 next year if you'd like. I'm jealous. :2

i pulled the image off of google, i have an 08 and 09. Wish i had an 07

I see. If I were you, and you were me, then I would wait ATLEAST one more year on the 08 set. Patience pays well on these.

I am guessing they would be amazing with 10 years on them, I would wait 7 more years.

thanks fellas

the dcm is ready right now
the opus is more subjective, some people think 1 year is enough other 2-3 I think it would be fine now

Re: 2008 toast across american box set ?
 

I would probably wait 12 years just to be sure.

Re: 2008 toast across american box set ?
 

I would wait as long as you can. Those are big, full bodied cigars that will last decades, and improve greatly with age. I would imagine the 15-20 year mark would be "money" for those cigars. But who wants to wait that long?:r

Re: 2008 toast across american box set ?
 

I think at least 15 years would be the best bet, as Nate said.

Re: 2008 toast across american box set ?
 

If they are going to be good in 15 years and we follow the rule of threes they should be epic in 45 years.

I smoked my pack of those last month and they smoked great! You are good to smoke them now, but more time wouldn't hurt it!

Re: 2008 toast across american box set ?
 

Careful not to crush them. ;)

Re: 2008 toast across american box set ?
 

I would just time capsule those bad boys up until at least 2208/09.

Re: 2008 toast across american box set ?
 

I'd wait until you turn 65 then your old enough to enjoy them and you will have learned patience.

Re: 2008 toast across american box set ?
 

im never gunna learn patience though!

Re: 2008 toast across american box set ?
 

Put these in your will for your grandkids. Or better yet smoke them both at once.
