For the cigar to lose goodness, it has to exit the foot ... stagnant layer and all, as a man of your stature would see immediately, that would not happen before centuries pass if stored foot up.

Then how do we factor in that aging is supposed to increase the goodness in a cigar typically.
Actually that is quite simple. Master cases of cigars .... you're familiar with that term right ... being a legend and all ... are used up top to bottom. So .. the longer the cigar box has sat in the remainder of the master case, the more goodness has dripped down from cigars from above. Once the bottom layer is removed from the master case, it will degrade in quality. That is why cigars improve with age and then decline.
