BarryVT Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 Hello everyone, first post, so new to FOH. Name is Barry and glad to be a part of what goes on here. Read a previous post on this but there were not too many responses. I have noticed that many of my cigars wrappers tend to get lighter with age. This seems to be most prominent with my montes. 2's 4's and petit 2's. Masters seem to hold there own. Keep at 65/65. Is this a common phenomenon? All boxes have 2 to 3yrs on them. Thanks much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCgarman Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 Are you sure it isn't lighting? In my 30 years or so of cigar smoking, I have not encountered this issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BarryVT Posted September 12, 2018 Author Share Posted September 12, 2018 These came from same amigos de partagas jar. Originally all looked like one on right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amberleaf Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 I've experienced the opposite. I have 3-4 year old boxes of JL2s, Connie 1s and RyJ Ex4s that have definitely got darker with age. Only these three cigars though, I've not noticed a change with any of my others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BarryVT Posted September 12, 2018 Author Share Posted September 12, 2018 I could see them getting lighter if exposed to light but these stay in jar. Here is another from same jar that appears to be going through dark to light change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrightonCorgi Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 Without a reference shade reading, it would be hard to know for sure years later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ericbrobes Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 If anything I've noticed perhaps the opposite. ?♂️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBird55 Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 If they were real moist when you got them, they may lighten up a little as they dry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponfed Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 I don't know about all that, but if you ask me, you should clean up your Library by moving this to Archive. Just my 2 cents. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RDB Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 Tough crowd... welcome Barry! I had always thought cigars generally got a little lighter with age. Is that not so? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
