Age on the AF Flor Fina 8-5-8?

[ApexAZ]

How many have aged the 8-5-8? Is it worth it to put 6 - 12 months or more on them?

[Volusianator]

6-12 months isn't age. 4-5 years, now you're getting some age, 6-10 years, now you're aging your cigars. Hell, cigars can sit on the shelves of a shop for longer than 6-12 months.

[ApexAZ]

So does that mean that the general concensus is that 6-12 months won't change the profile of a cigar?

[Volusianator]

Minimally

Okay, thanks.

Thats good, because I generally smoke what I buy with in about a week or two...

[Volusianator]

And if you enjoy them that's all that matters.

Couldn't leave it well enough alone, could you Peter?

I find that aging 858's 3-5 years makes for a great cigar.

I usually keep a couple of boxes of the 8-5-8 Maduro on hand. They are very good fresh but with 1 year or more I find that they balance out very well.
