Hello FOH fam, I've been searching through the annals of the board and wanted to pose a question to the community that I haven't seen explicitly discussed. In your opinion, why do you believe Cuban tobacco (in general) ages better than non-Cuban tobacco? There are plenty of examples of non-Cubans (e.g., Opus, Davidoff, and other premium lines) that do age their stock quite a bit but the consensus seems to be that non-Cuban cigars tend to peak at 4-7 years of age where Cubans can keep punching well over 10+ years of age. What about Cuban tobacco allows it to improve year after year? My understanding is that your average non-Cuban cigar hits the shelves anywhere between 90 days to a year after rolling where HSA rolls, boxes, and then is off to the distribution network. Looking forward to some different perspectives!

I have accumulated more boxes than I will smoke in the next 2-3 years. Some Anejodas or Reservas, but some regular production boxes ranging from 2011, 2014, etc. When I pull out a stick I haven't enjoyed for a long time, I find that some are better than I remembered, but some really aren't. I recall reading El Presidente saying that SLR Regios may be at their best 60 days through about 2 years from the box date. That made me wonder. Are there other sticks that seem to have a short peak aging time? Do some cigars decline with age? Or just not get any better? Just wondering what experience everyone's had with their own collections, and what everyone's sense of peak aging time is. Thanks as always.

New guy here! Golf Club Chef... Looking forward to making new FOH contacts. My favorite past time being motorcycle riding and high quality CC smoking (vape e-juice too). Working on my long term aging box. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Aging sticks is new to me... I've never had the patience and always dig right in on the newly acquired boxes. Happy Blazing Guys and Gals!
