To Age (NC) Or Not To Age

[Sweet_Leaf_PDX]

With NCs it really depends on your personal tastes and the cigar. I have generally found that many My Father cigars do well with some age (3 years or so). There are many NC cigars that really change for the better after about 1 year of being stashed away in the humidor. I have found that once you it the 4-5 year zone they start to decline.

Generally if you start out with a cigar that is on the more mild side, it only going to get milder. If you start out with something on the stronger side then it has the potential to mellow out a bit and develop over time.

All that being said. I purchase NC cigars with the intention of smoking them within the next 1-3 years.
