Strength as a function of time?

ApexAZ · 11-16-2011, 03:08 PM

I just finished a 5 Vegas Gold Maduro. Flavor-wise, I liked it, however it was a little on the strong side for me. Very peppery with what I assume is a high nicotine content. You almost feel your tongue go numb and you feel your stomach start to feel heavy.

So I'm wondering, if I buy some of these and let them sit for a year, will the strength diminish over time to give me a milder smoke? I've read that aging maduros doesn't have as much impact since the leaves are already fermented for longer.

Thoughts?
