The only reason I might be aging cigars...

...is that it's gonna take me a long time to get to some of 'em.

And this doesn't include My Verona cabinet! Blink

(The stack is one coolidor taller than before.)

It's all about location!
In between a stinky hamper and a stinky garbage can may not be a good location. LOL
Nice stack!

I get a little confused when I come to a Cigar forum and go into the Cigar Photo section and then get shot down for posting photos of cigars.

Think



The weight is there because those plastic tubs need a little help sealing up.

It's either gonna be 'look at me' or ' kwaj is low, bomb kwaj'. You know that.

Someday.

I'm getting the wife used to the idea that I need a cooler to keep full boxes in.
A box of 25 just takes up too much space in my 7 drawer charleston humidor. I'm not there yet with her but it's getting closer.

Once the coolerador is ready, I'm finally gonna order a box of cubans to put a few years on.

Nice stack of 'gars you got there BS!

Nice to see photographic evidence that you're not alone with an ever expanding collection.

Hope you smoke them before they over age. NC cigars the tobacco is already aged so the window has shrunk and after 5 years they just get weaker and weaker Dominican they say is 3-4 years Nic 4-5 and down hill from there

^^ Well, I'll take my chances. ;-)

I also keep the humidor down at the Vets Hall stocked up and refilled.

And I also usually take 6 or 8 down there when I go on my days off. Recently, more people have been partaking. I might start carrying my 16 count travel case down there again.

Cool

I've never bought into the idea of NC cigars don't age well. Some do, some don't. I love coming across boxes of
older smokes.

Absolutely love the ESV 91 in all wrappers. The connies have mellowed a bit, however they are sublime......

I was in San Juan a few weeks ago on vacation. One of the B&M's there had boxes of ESV 91 in all wrappers.

Just one example of a NC that's getting better.

JMHO.

And, nice stash bs-kwaj!!!

With a collection like that you best watch your humidity level regularly. Beetles could destroy your smokes.

^ Been smoking cigars for about 25 years (but only recently started understanding what I was doing... ;-) )

I've never seen a beetle yet.

That sucks, brother. I would be more concerned with temperature than humidity, however. I believe the magic temp
when beetles hatch is approx. 75 deg.

Sorry man, I am just messing with you. I have never had any beetles in my humidor either. I received a cigar once that had holes in it and that's my only encounter in twenty years. I think the humidity has to be over 80% for the little buggers to hatch. Puff away my friend.Herfing
