al321 Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 I know this topic has come up before, but I have some boxes in my locker for aging and need some experienced advice on when to send these babies home. I haven't experienced may aged cigars, so I'm really at a loss at how long to let these sit before their trip?

polarbear Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 I've always found that 5 years is a good starting point If you've got the storeage for boxes at home I'd let them rest in your locker for 5 or so years and then see how you find them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hiroshiro Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 Cohibas 4/5 years. I like to start at 3 years for ageing. Usually when a Cigar is Changing. 5 years is another milestone. Depends how long you are able to age them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To some extent. We would also need to know how old some of the boxes are. Some recent production is stellar now. For example, the JL2's! If they are very recent or a year old. They may be good to go now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All of your cigars have age potentional, If you can (I can't) ,try to age them five years, like others said and see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phillys Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 Although the 2012 Monte 2's have been stellar fresh for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beamer Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 I smoke them when they taste good to me. For example, had a box of Bolivar PC from 2011 that were wonderful this year. Still waiting on a Cab from 2011 to open up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poorman Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 This is true. To some extent......Some recent production is stellar now. For example, the JL2's! Agreed, smoked one last night, as it finally warmed up to 20F around here. Also, I've found the recent Hoyo #2's to be fantastic as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tydra Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 It's definitely down to personal tastes, but IMHO. I like to think of cigars as moments of serenity and bliss, but they demand patience and care. Hence, and especially considering that I prefer the "heavier" marcas like partagas, ramon and punch, I wouldn't really go near them till they've passed the 5 year mark. Partagas D4s for example don't show their smoother, spicier (sweet spices) side till at least that long for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orion21 Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 Send the Boli's and RA Sups. Those smoke really well young and the RA's are especially good. My 520's are really sleepy right now, but most of the others could be good ROTT and get better with age. It also depends on when and why you smoke cigars. I smoke my smaller cigars (pc's/minutos) with coffee, so letting them age probably won't matter. The box I would most likely leave in your OLH are the 898's. The new ones are good, but tightly wound. They will be REALLY good in 2-5 years, IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
al321 Posted December 15, 2013 Author Share Posted December 15, 2013 Thanks for all the advice! I'm going to wait for their fifth birthday before they take the trip. Gotta thank Rob for this incredible service....not a chance would any of these see five years if they were at my house! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
