What cigar ages the longest?

11-20-2008, 10:28 AM

Out of all the many kinds of cigars, which one do you think ages the longest for the best taste?

11-20-2008, 10:52 AM

Stonger oily cigars with a lot of oil.

I just realized what I typed there... yes I'm redundant.

Specifically Opus X and Fuente Anejos benefit greatly from age, some of the few NC's that do IMO.

Thinking about a 10-15 year progressive humidor

Starscream · 11-20-2008, 11:47 AM

Back to the question at hand, are you refering to CCs or NC? Most any CCs benefit from aging, yet most NCs do not benefit from more than 6 months rest. Some are greatly benefited, such as Darrell's recommendation.

Sauer Grapes · 11-20-2008, 11:51 AM

I'd say the ones that are oldest have probably aged the longest.

If you buy two cigars at the same time, the one you smoke last ages the longest.

It's really not rocket science.

11-20-2008, 12:01 PM

Well that's really not what I was trying to get at rocket science and all. I am new so I am learning some things. I get that it's a difference between NC and CC. I understand that now. That's why we are still learning and thinking about options for storage. But I get what you're saying as well. As I live in Michigan that would make it apparently NC's for us. So, instead of a yearly humi it would be a monthly thing then. Still sits well with the scope of our planning.

Could you (or "y'all", rather) explain your (or "y'all's", rather) "yearly humi" and "monthly humi" and "progressive humi" ideas to us/me? We/I are/am quite perplexed.

11-20-2008, 12:18 PM

Whether you are perplexed or not is not my fault. I am on this site as my husband and I enjoy herfing and woodworking and this site was recommended. As it stands now, with responses that put a person on the defensive, I can't say I would recommend this site to anyone.

Thank you to those who have responded trying to help.

I'm confused as hell with this thread now.

11-20-2008, 12:21 PM

What is a progressive humi?

There is popular discussion that says you can have two of the same cigar that will mature differently in a different environment.

put one cigar in a 70/70 environment with lots of open air exchange, it will mature quicker than putting an identical cigar in say a 65/65 environment enclosed in a coffin or tube.

K Baz · 11-20-2008, 12:34 PM

Sorry I am poor dirt farmer from Saskatchewan and I am always eager to learn too...but I can not figure out the monthly/progressive thing either.

I understand the temp/RH/storage type i.e. Cab vs. Dress vs. tubo vs single debated but if you would give me an idea on your humi I would happily post my ideas on aging NCs. Plus I would be happy to refer you to an ECCJ article that is in the most recent issue that talks on this direct.
