No.

I originally typed an essay explaining why, but it basically boils down to “No.”

So, no.

Unless you particularly love that “dirty ashtray” flavour. ?

i'd say yes. age them for about 70 years or at least until after we are all long gone. that would benefit us. 

and who knows, someone may find it and sell it for a fortune then.

Do you think with some more aging these series will benefit?

Frankly, impossible to judge from just one cigar smoked. Usually one would say, the very idea behind this release is that it's meant to be aged already. So, no need to age any further. And in particular, a cigar that hasn't much to offer at seven or 10 yrs of age won't suddenly do so if aged any longer. However, if you buy into wines or cigars "closing up" at certain points during their maturing life (MRN calling it "vacuum" phases, a catchy but somehow weird expression for an old observation), and given the observed initial high tannin level in that particular cigar, I am actually not so sure as to whether that first third could - potentially - have profited from a continued further aging. So, I honestly can't give you an answer to that question.

But anyway, and leaving aging aspects aside, the price point of this cigar is exceeding its current (smoking) value if you ask me (provided they were all like the one I smoked, or even as others have been describing their experience). Of course, and to be fair, you have to pay for the cost of ten years of storage, that's to a part reflected in its price - you can make the calculation yourself. But investing the same amount of money or even much less today, I bet you'll be better off by selecting some excellent current boxes of H. Upmann (Connie 1, Mag46, No.2, ConA, PC) and setting them aside for just a few years or even for extended aging, done by yourself. That will yield you a higher, while not instant, gratification as when making a bet on further aging an Añejados.

What does the date look like on the bottom of the boxes? I can’t find any pics
