What are the best cigars to age?
aging cigars
Answers:
The best cigars to age are cigars that are full bodied...If you smoke a cigar and you feel it in your stomach, then it is full bodied, and some age will really help mellow it out...mild cigars are not worth aging, becuase you can age the flavor right out of them...even a 6 month vacation in your humi can seriously change the complexity of a cigar.
now keep in mind, cigars that are harsh, meaning that you "feel" it in the back of your throat, wont benifit from age...a harsh cigar is a harsh cigar...
now someone can correct me if i'm wrong, but i don't believe cigars benefit from aging. my favorites tend to be dominican...especially punch, romeo y julieta,macanudo...
Cigars definitely improve with age, that is, if they are stored in a real humidor lined with spanish cedar (most are). I have bought or received cheap cigars and have aged them for months in my humidor and can always tell a huge difference.
There really isnt an answer for "the best cigar to age", all cigars can imrpove with age. The hard part is buying a good smoke that you wont touch for a couple months. I have heard specificaly that the CAO Black (bought from cigars international only) ages nicely but like i said its all personal preference.
