Cigars you would age?

[Devil Doc]

If you're looking for an inexpensive cigar worth aging, you can't go wrong with the Padron x000 series. A year in the humidor does dramatic things to this already great cigar.

Yep, good advice.

I had some Joyo de Nic celebracion consuls that ended up at the bottom of the cooler in an old hemingway box that sat for about 9 months. I noticed a postive difference there also.

I don't think it necessarily hurts to age anything. But age does definitely change the flavor of a cigar.

slc hit the nail on the head. I'd age those cigars you're not too happy with at the moment. Come back later and try them again - you might be surprised.

One of my most surprising "aged" cigars was a Quinteros Brevas. In about 3 years that little, cheap cigar turned into one of the most incredible smokes I've ever had...

It's a crap shoot, though - cigars that I thought would turn into incredible smokes with a little age actually disappointed me (some of my Opus X, for example) - others that I thought would likely not change turned out incredible (For example, Doc's suggestion on the Padron x000 comes to mind).

I too, have found that a little age can do wonders, I let a Cusano C-10 sit for about 6-7 months, and it cam out like a totally different cigar.

I bought so many sticks at one time, I will be inadvertently aging the majority of them for some time. I'm thinking I will try not to burn through whole 5-packs before I've sampled the others, to sample each cigar at various ages and see if I notice any differences.

All good advice, thanks. I had a Oliva Serie G that was a bit overpowering, but had good taste, I think I will try that. Another that comes to mind that was just a tad too much was Perdomo Habana.

Most CA's will tell you that anything less that 2 years is not really aging, only resting and stabelization of your sticks.

Some cigar tobacco can even go through a stage after fermentation that is a souring stage. Most NC's do not need aging, only resting.

BTW if you decide to age some of your sticks, they will age best naked with cellos removed.

This is all of course only my humble opinion..
