Long Term Cigar Preservation ??

Nvm... going to retract my statement.

As far as the cooler / winecooler option I should have mentioned mine has a good amount of wood boxes and in addition I have cedar sheets and liners and a good collection of cedar "blocks" that were used as fillers for some boxes when cigars didn't take up all the space. This really helps me maintain RH and allows the beads to wick moisture as needed. I'm too cheap to splurge for those fancy cedar shelves, but i'm sure those would help also.

Apparently these are not "quality cigars"

These either



But then what do I know? Like Bob I only have a few thousand cigars laying around going "dead".

Well I don't, and I think that's an awesome shot......drooooool.

Good thread. I'm thinking about buying a box or 2 of CC's to age. I'm thinking maybe a cab of Bolivar BBF, not sure about the second one if I go with two.

There are plenty of great Havanas that smoke well fresh. If I were just getting started, I would try some of the Corona or Petite Coronas.

Bolivars are great cigars, by the way. If you want a pyramid, hard to beat a BBF.

Worry about aging after you've smoked a few hundred.

What Bob said.

Also, come to the Habanos section and ask questions before your first purchase. Plenty of helpful brothers there that will help steer you in the right direction.

Give Sancho Panza Belicosos a try if you like a good pyramid. I have an 01 box that I'm smoking from and they are hands down a suburb smoke right now. Sadly the BBF's from 00 could still use a few years of age.

Is this from a flavor standpoint or do they need to "loosen" up a bit due to construction?
I agree on the Sanchos. Great Belis IMO.
