How long would you them down.. Behike 52 - 1966

[CigarDarr111]

So I just managed to get my hands on a couple boxes of 1966 along with 2 boxes of 52's any suggestions how long these guys need to be layed down for before they meet their fate?

I'm shooting for a minimum of 10 on my BHK52's maybe more.

Have you seen a dramatic difference in the quality of your smokes, especially these two, in say 3 months, 6 months and 1 year?

I know that you guys do it for a reason, but 10 years seems like a long time. I kept an Opus X "A" humidified for 10 years and it seemed to have lost all of it's bold flavors and it's punch... But that was a non Cuban.

3 to 5 years

I couldn't wait, and I was rewarded for my impatience. They're awesome after just a few months.

It's not a very strong cigar, so I'd be wary of aging for too long, and over mellowing.
