Cigars you would age?

Maybe get yourself 12 or so La Riqueza's and let them sit for 6 months then try one a month and write down what has changed, etc.

I love this suggestion. And it begs the question, does anyone keep a cigar journal? It might be informative, and help give you an idea of what's improving over time, and what's not.

I have a spreadsheet of all the cigars I've bought, which includes the date of purchase, and I've been marking flavor notes along with the date smoked.

I tried using the Cigar Register computer program, but I couldn't get it to work; maybe it's incompatible with a 64-bit OS.

I'm just now starting to distinguish the differences in flavors. This past weekend, I could pick up on the different flavors in each third of the cigar for the first time.

I've decided that with my 5-, etc. packs that after smoking one to not smoke another until I've tried the others, to allow each variety to get various ages on them. I'm looking forward to noting the differences age may make.

Newbee here. any articles/research on the topic? any lists of cigars that age well/impact. I remember seeing a paper that mentioned that the cigars shrink and can develop a white "dust" which is some sort of chrystal and some people pay horrendeous prices for such aged cigars ...
Thanks,

I can't seem to keep cigars long enough to age them!

But I like the suggestion of aging the Opus...If I can resist the temptation of smoking them, I might just give it a try.

Almene, and Sam Tushing, how about an intro, we like to know who we are talking to, and who is contributing to the discussions.
