Aging recommendations

[Maron76]

Hey FOH veterans, I was wondering if perhaps we could compile a list of how much age some of the more popular cigar need. These would be cigars that are coming from the warehouse now. I know it would help fellow FOH members who are knew to our hobby decide what to buy. If they don't have a large enough stash to lay down a new purchase for 5 years maybe they would buy something that smokes good after a few months in their humidor. I have read that RASS are best after 3-4 years. And watching the Upmann review tells you these are damn good right now. But how about some of the other popular ones and what you feel is a minimum nap to start enjoying them.

exellent thread Maron, I would love more info on aging. I know that members have said that the HdM Des Dieux needs 5 years to be fully rewarding

I think that that is a fantastic idea. I would like to have a general idea on when certain cigars peak or when certain years peak, etc. Thanks for the idea.

Great topic

Maybe we should start a poll for each cigar to determine what the consensus is for a specific marque and vitola???

Something like the bast cigar poll that the czar team is running

Good idea Ghabanos. I will start one and see what we get for answers.

Any recommended vitola to poll for?

If nothing in mind yet, do some of the more common ones... Ie psdn 4 or cohiba sig 6? Something like that? Just suggesting...

This is a great idea and I'm definitely looking forward to all the results.
