Wondering how many people here keep more than just a desk top?
Or have a cabinet to keep more than a box or 2?
To be clear - to me 6 months is not ageing, that is resting.
To age a cigar is at least a year.
I often buy aged cigars & have a few cigars (40-50) that have been in my humidor for over a year.
I have 2 cabs of(50) Por Laranga PC I bought in 04 that are still mostly untouched.
6 months in- I smoked one to see how they were doing -
other than that they are just sleeping.
Maybe it's time to break one out.
I do have some aged stock I bought that way.
The way Misa & I (mostly I) smoke it is hard to keep much stock around.
Mostly the hard to find stuff and expensive stays the longest.
One thing I did to solve the problem was to put a small cabinet
(Aristocrat Mini) in my smoking room.
Everything else is up stairs.
My home is 3 floors so I usually am to lazy to climb two flights of stairs unless there is a good reason.
I will take a few of this and a few of that & load the Mini
or my traveldor & that was I smoke everyday.
For a special moment & cigar party I will take the travoldor to the upstairs cabinet and load it up!
Mostly wondering how many here have set anything aside for any period of time.
As well - if you have even let stuff rest for 2-6 months how much have you noticed they taste better?
Thanks!
