Ok it's official I will no longer buy any cigars to age that are any less rare then regionals. EL's not remotely close to rare enough. Now I know unfortunately this isn't the same for everbody but here's the story. 3 years ago some friends brought me back a box of punch punch's from 05. I figured that punch not being available in canada this would be a great box to age. Not that long ago Punch's started arriving in Canada and a box showed up at the store I work at from 03. That was 3 years of not smoking from the box to find older ones on a local shelf. At the festival I picked up a box of sancho panza non plus from 97. I am not going to say that it was the best cigar that I have ever had but it is the only cigar that I have smoked 4 of in a day and still looked forward to the fifth. If I had known they were going to be that good I would have saved them and brought them back. Worst part is that I still expect to go back next year and find another box of them. I also picked up a box of SP#2 from 03 just to smoke while there. Today I went into a B&M I don't normally go to and picked up a sancho panza belicoso from 02 that I am smoking as I write this(it's amazing). They also had EL's from 01,03,04 and 05. I didn't pick any up yet but it just drives me crazy to think that any cigar I would ever think to age I might be able to find on a normal shelf.
Just my rant of the day.
