Just smoked a couple cigars I put away when my son was born, kept them till his 18th birthday. They were incredibly good. They were not what they were however. They were smoother and some of the distinctive flavors were muted. It was like the competing flavors had learned to play well together. They were however more complex than they had been, in a very subtle way.

I would loved to have been able to go back in time and smoke one of them fresh as well as the aged one.

I learn something new everyday! Thank you for the quality info! I never stopped to think how different a 20yr old cigar would taste compared to its own fresh version.

By the way, I loved the Partagas 150s fresh. I wish I would have purchased more of them and maybe even saved a couple - I didn't. And, at $65 a cigar, as much as I am curious, I am not going to splurge that much coin to find out.

I am curious to see what your father thinks. Hopefully you will update us with his thoughts.


Herf = gathering together for fellowship and cigars. Don't know where it came from, but that is the meaning of it as we have come to know it.

I will let you know how it goes in October when we smoke them! Also, I purchased four so if your curiosity gets the best of you, and it's allowed here, we could work a trade of one!

I appreciate the offer, but I do not see me offering $65 worth of cigars, or anything else for that matter, for one stick - no matter how curious I might be.

Like I said, I do appreciate the offer.

I don't think anyone really knows where herf came from. I tried researching it once. The only semi-definitive fact I learned was the word's first online usage on alt.smokers.cigars back in 1996. But even then, it was used to refer to the draw of a cigar, and not the expanded meaning it has today.
