Aging Experiment

Allowing for the different tastes of different vitolas, I had smoked a box of the Don Pepin JJ Maduro Belicoso and thought I knew what to expect when I traded for 10 or so Sublimes that were 1-2 years old; but the age did give me pause; I'd never smoked any cigars that old.

Was I in for a great surprise! These cigars tasted nothing like the Belicosos! They were infinitely more rich and complex.

Does age, on the whole, do this? I have two X-Large humidors and one medium. I'm thinking of making the medium my aging humidor and taking five each of the fifteen cigars that I have and putting them down for a couple of years.

Opinions?
