A question to those who insist that only CCs age well: What chemical element in tobacco leaf is responsible for the supposed "proper" aging and why do you believe it only exists on the island of Cuba?

That might be the factor here in aging. The Quality of the leaf of Cuban stock vs. NC stock. I also think that aging NC's do not help as much as CC's, but my experience is also very limited.
He's my

, When I first joined Club Stogie back in the day I think Pnoon said it quite simply... aging a crap stick will only give you an old crap stick. When I smoke an NC now it's usually for a load of spice and full bodied punch. That in my opinion is what is lost when aging alot of NC's. Not that it's a bad smoke, but just not what I'm looking for.
The Riddick may very well prefer what an aged NC turns into, thus
TO HIM they age well. A few NC's I prefer with a couple years but for the most part
TO ME, I prefer them fresh,
In the end, if you like it... it's a good smoke! And yes, this even includes gurkhas
