What is your oldest cigar

[Old Smokey]

and what is it?

I am not sure which ones they are, but I apparently have a few around 9 years old. I got in to this hobby seriously in Sept. 2013. Made a trade with a guy who had quit the hobby and became strictly a piper. In my part received I got 160 cigars that had 2-7 years on them. I have a few of the original 160 left, but have no idea which ones are now 4 years and which were 9. Everything I have bought and haven't smoked yet are 2 years and younger. I have 1 single cigar I have been saving from the original 160 that I have been saving for the day I retire, whenever that happens. A Behike 54.

That Behike is a WONDERFUL smoke. I had one that was only a few months old. I can only imagine what one that has years on it is like!!!

oldest NC I have is around 3 years. Oldest CC is around 5

Thanks Brian. Yeah, I don't know which I am more excited about. The Behike or retirement? Well, actually that one is pretty easy.:cool:

I'm looking forward to retirement! But I have at least 15 years for that unless I hit the lottery!

[Cardinal]

I've been moderately serious about cigars around this time in 2013, and I have a decent amount of cigars now with 2 years on them. I've also got a few from 2007 and 2008 that I've bought off of guys here or back on Pxxx.

That's awesome Trey. Have you figured out when you are going to smoke it? I am hoping to try Nicks newest creation Foundation. Will be released next month I believe.

I have not, I look at it every once in a while and think "no not yet". I'm looking forward to trying his new creation as well.

2008 DPG, the original. My nearest B&M had an almost full box that had been discovered last summer sitting on an upper shelf in the humidor, thinking it was an empty box. Bought a couple and smoked one. Went back the next day and picked up the rest. I have about 7 left. I think I gave out more than I have smoked. Next is a handful of 601 Maduros from 2010 that I bought in 2012; the year I got more serious about cigars.

2006 RyJ Petit Julietas.

Used to have a '98 Punch Punch. It was killed with fire earlier this year, and absolutely amazing!

That would be the oldest cigar I have as well (thanks for Bombing it to me!). I've been trying to pretend it's not there but I know I have a day moment of weakness and it will go up in smoke. Most of my humidor is 2012-2014 with a few older that I struggle to keep my hands off of.

...I think I gave out more than I have smoked.

That's the way to do it. I'm the same with a lot of my oldest and most favorite ones - whether through the forum or with friends or with my dad.

[Usafvet509]

Oldest ever was the 4 year old Viaje Skull N Bones M?stery you gave me, Old Smokey. Along those lines, the 2011 Oliva V Maduro Especials from AuTechCoM, and again from Steve, a 4yo Cohiba Siglo IV

[c.ortiz108]

Erte 7 Deadly Sins from 1996. Otherwise my last Condal tubo from the Canaries, from 2011.

[T.E.Fox]

I've got a Monte #4 (the tubos variety) which I got in a bomb a few years ago, and even then it was a couple of years old, so I'm going to go with that, at an estimated 4-5 years old. Not saving it for anything in particular, but whenever I go digging for a smoke, the occasion that calls for it just doesn't appear.

[Dijit]

I have several in the 6 to 7 year range.

[Ilroy]

Sadly, my oldest is only around 2 years...I have a few CC boxes that will mostly be held for some years with only an occasional one smoked during that time...

[DogRockets]

The oldest I have that p purchased is a Gurkha Doble Maduro I bought about 3 years ago. The oldest cigar I have purchased and have now are probably some full size Tatuaje Monster Drac from 2009 i believe.

[Brimy]

2008 DPG, the original.

HEY!!!
I had one of those, courtesy of none other! ;)

[Merovius]

'99 SLR Lonsdale have a few more from around the same time. Planning on taking them to the 20yr mark. I recently saw a CA video on aging and they had some interesting comments on over aging cigars which were contrary to what Ive heard from just about every person thats ever smoked a 15 year+ stogie...Layne obviously enjoyed his.

[Billb1960]

I have some inktome from Fonseca that were rolled in 2008. They're delicious!

[Sigaar]

Think I have a single PSD4 from '05. Also have a box of VR Maestros from '07. Both are cc's. None of my NC's have any real age on them.

[Upstatemax]

I have a couple of Gurkha's that are about 4+ years old.

Mainly because I don't want to smoke them...

I save them for handing out to people that I don't like, but want one of my cigars.

[RogueBallBoy]

I have a couple Rocky Patel prodigy from 7/12 that I haven't smoked simply because they are my oldest. They are a reminder of when I discovered this hobby. Also I don't remember them being anything special so it's easy to pass on them lol
