Many cigars benefit from 1-5 years of aging. I try my cigars at various periods in their age to get a feel for when they are smoking the way I like.
Some cigars benefit from aging beyond this but those are mostly full bodied and mostly cuban in my experience.
Lusitania, Upmann no 2, Cohiba siglo series, trini, ramon allones, and boli come to mind as cigars that age very well beyond 5 years typicall.
Monte, por larranaga, dip, erdm, fonseca, ryj would be cigars that I would smoke before the 5 year mark. Please remember this is purely my taste and your mileage may vary.
