Cigars age and taste

[Lucas Buck]

I love all my cigars with significant age best. Sure Havana cigars are well known to shine with age but I’ve found NCs also improve. Recently smoked a 20+ year old Punch Rare Corojo which was sublime. I guess it’s a matter of taste.

Agree, I’ve smoked some 10-15 year old Oliva, Punch, Perdomo, Ashton, Tatuaje, still had lots of flavor.

Have some significantly aged NCs including Padrón, Fuente, La Gloria, Tatajue, and Rocky Patel, and they are really good. I don’t have an explanation for your findings except maybe you let them dry out too much at some point along the way. Always remember that temperature plays a crucial role in this and I have noticed NCs aren’t as forgiving to dry conditions.
