My past experience has shown that a cigar with a little too much pepper or one that has a little too much of an edge usually benefits from six to twelve months of ageing. Beyond that, each cigar brand and size is a unique aging experience. Great article George.

If you like bold flavors, fresh is probably better. If you're after complexity and don't mind a milder cigar, age can be a wonderful thing.

In my experience, young cigars that possess flavors of strong tobacco that gather strength with a slight ammonia or acidic edge in the final third generally indicate a good candidate for aging. Conversely, if the stick is bland and lacks the above-mentioned nuances, then aging usually does not help. Perhaps with a stronger flavor profile, age not only mellows it out, but it provides an additional dimension that is rather hard to describe. In a bland cigar, this aging dimension simply may not be detectable. Anyway, it is a fascinating topic. Great article, George.
