Aging Cigars?

[TBone]

When you say "age" a cigar what kind of time frame are you talking?

 

[RonC]

for me, its at least 5 years

 

[surfish1961]

5 Years? WOW!

I usually let mine sleep for a coupla months, sometimes longer.

 

[kyleb]

Usually 2 years for me

 

[JRL]

I have a long ways to go.

 

[Boppa-Wasch]

If you find one as old as me......send it and I'll smoke it.:eyebrow: :skew: :blob: eace: :applause:

Depends on the cigar. I like to get to each box every 6 months or so to check on the progress. If they taste fantastic, I'll smoke a bunch. Some will age a month, some 6 months, some a year, some 5 years.

 

[RigilKent]

depends on the cigar i havent really aged any long term. but i have a few sealed boxes i dont plan to open for at least a year

 

[tubaman]

Some cigars don't even start to taste proper until 5 years old.

 

[Headbanger]

Varies depending on the marca and vitola but aging always will be measured in years.

Varies too much to put a definitive answer on. The size of the vitola and blend of the marca has alot to do with it. Obviously, you're going to need less time with a Partagas Short than you would need with a Sir Winston.
