Re: Can you smoke 9 year old Montecristo Cigars
yeah, as others have mentioned, it's not the age, but the storage conditions. Right now JR is selling 10 yr old "vintage" Montecristos at a significant markup.
That being said, what is the humidity like where you live? I'm in Houston where the Humidity stays between 70-100% year round, so I could probably leave a cigar out of the humi for 10 years without it drying out completely. In fact, I have to keep my cigars in the tuppperdor, not to keep them from drying out, but to keep them from getting too moist. You will want to re-humidify them before they get smoked, but who knows? They could be great. enjoy!

Re: Can you smoke 9 year old Montecristo Cigars
Thanks for everyone's help. I lived in LA for about 1 year and have spent the last 8 years in the New York area. Not sure if that is humid enough. Usually I had cigars in a bag underneath my bed. Not the best conditions!

Re: Can you smoke 9 year old Montecristo Cigars
Certainly do not give up on them. Slowly bring them up to 70% humidity. If you have the means, do it at 10% humidity increments. Assuming there is no damage to the wrapper, these may turn out OK. The good news is that the only thing that matters is if you like them. If you do, win!
