What Bob said above and additionally,
Yes, they tend to mellow but become more complex and refined. Although one of the strongest cigars I ever had was from 1973. There does come a time when the cigar will expire. Smoked part of a 1903 Partagas last year and while it still had something there, you could tell it was way past it's prime. I din't know how it was stored over the years but that is the key to longevity. I, like Bob also have a handful of cigars from the 50's that were kept very well and they are quite tasty.
