Can cigars improve with age?
Only when stored under the right conditions. The sole function of a humidor is to preserve the character in cigars and to also create an environment that allows cigars to improve with age. For this to happen it’s a requirement to eliminate the fluctuations, cycles and spikes in humidity—something refillable humidifiers cannot do. That’s why two-way humidity control is so essential. The natural oils and sugars contained in good tobacco are the heart and soul of a cigar, providing all the flavor and the foundation for improving with age. Good cigars are loaded with these oils and sugars and when aged properly the tobaccos will shed their harsher characteristics while allowing the oils and sugars to blossom into amazingly rich and pleasing flavors that will give you an unparalleled smoking experience.
