Hi All,
Was just cleaning out the basement when I found this beauty in the drawers. I was given this cigar on my graduation, and since I didn't smoke cigars at the time, I just shelved it.
Since I never had a cigar aged for so long, was wondering if this is still smokable? The cellophane had the signature tobacco-brown tinge to it, the cigar itself is firm to the touch, and the smell has a very mellow and sweet woodsy bouquet to it. Although, I'm not sure if the wrapper color variation is a function of age (bloom?), or some other thing I don't know about. I don't think it's mold since it's not musty at all.
Anyhow, I've transferred the cigar into a ziploc freezer bag. If the cigar is legit, what's the best way to reintroduce it into the humidor? Also, as a precaution, should i freeze it first to make sure it's bug free (no signs of pinholes on cigar or cellophane, nor the signature tobacco dust at foot of cellophane.
Thanks!
