How old is too old...

Hi,

I have read a lot about ageing cigars. For example I have heard quite a lot about the new Cohiba Sublimes which will apparently become even more sublime with age. My question is....how long can you/should you keep a cigar to help it attain its full potential?

I know a bit a bout wine and assume that it may depend on the quality of the cigar? Will a Cohiba sublimes (just salivating at the name!!!! :smiley36: ) keep longer than a cheaper make? Like a fine bordeaux from a great year will keep longer than a cheap Cote du Rhone?

Finally, is there a time limit? Providing a cigar is kept in optimum conditions, can it keep in there (and improve?) for years?



Thanks!

I hear some cigars don't age very well(some DOM REP for instance). But I have also read that a well stored cigar can last indefinitly. There are still some pre WWII and pre Castro cigars roaming around :smiley36: I think after a certain point you won't see an improvment anymore, but it depends on the cigar how long that point is :smiley1:

Did you perhaps mean "INDEFINITELY" instead of indefinitly, Roham? :smiley36:

How about "IMPROVEMENT" instead of improvment... :smiley17:

Did you want me to go through your posts and look for any others as long as we're being VERY precise??? :smiley2:

I think ggiese is to old. :smiley36:

I wonder if he has mold or bloom in his armpits??? :smiley2:
