I feel that it all depends on the conditions that they are aged in. I prefer a little lower humidity and temperature (60% & 60-65F). I've got several cigars that have substantial age on them +10 years up to +40 years that still smoke very well. Some loss of strength but a gain in complexity. As always YMMV.
I'm definitely onboard with the lower humidity and temp.I don't even add water til I fall below 58% and try to never go above 62%.Temp 65 and below.
As for aging.......In most sticks I've seen little change til the 2-3 year mark.My oldest CC's are from 06 and really just coming into their own,CoRo's.Gonna save a few just to see what effect 10 years have on them....I believe the box code is jun06.
I'm digging this long term aging it's just hard to keep your hands off them.....Like my cab of Mag 46's from 08.Half gone because they just keep getting better.
