If a cigar is kept in a perfect environment, would they last forever? Or would they eventually begin to deteriorate.

It is my understanding that even in a somewhat "perfect" environment, a cigar still has a shelf life between 40 and 50 years. I had had a pre-castro cigar once, but it was definitlly approaching its half-life.

From what I have read and heard, it is my understanding that a cigar at some point will reach it's maximum aging. This is when the cigar is at its best. After that, it begins a reverse cycle until the cigar has deteriorated completly.
My opinion is that it is vegetable matter; it has to start deteriorating/rotting at some point no matter how perfect the conditions. How long? I've heard differing opinions ranging from 30-50 years; that sounds like a long time.
There's only two kinds of cigars, the kind you like and the kind you don't.
