Are aged cigars really better?
Aging cigars can be a rewarding and exciting experience. After a cigar is made it is still curing (aging), even after the initial curing process. Allowing a cigar to age can change the cigar’s flavor and body over time and turn a cigar that may have been too “green” (not aged enough) into one of the best cigars you have ever smoked. This is similar to wine aging. Aging a cigar into something better than it was a year ago is one of the perks of being a cigar hobbyist. Keep in mind that aging, when the cigar is kept at the right temperature and humidity (68% to 71% humidity, and as close to 70 degrees Fahrenheit as you can possibly get) and not exposed to mold, will never hurt a cigar. In fact, a cigar will last indefinitely if stored in the proper conditions. However, huge swings in temperature and humidity is cigar suicide and no amount of aging under improper storing conditions will make a cigar better, much less keep it in original condition.
