Really the best advice?

I agree, this is still one of my favorite topics, since it still seems so much more art than science. Plus it takes so long to learn from experience, so I am always interested in other people's first hand knowledge.

And that's really interesting about the broadleafs. With my almost nonexistent expertise I've been thinking that stronger/fuller means better aging potential.

I know you keep really good notes, so are there any standout NCs that have aged well for you, or not so well? I've got a bunch of boxes now dedicated to a 3+ year aging plan, but maybe there are some cigars in my humis that I should sample soon.

Taking into consideration that Habanos age best, I would think that non-broadleaf would age better.
I have zero aging experience so take this with a grain of salt. But I can't recall a Habanos Maduro. As usual please correct me if I'm wrong.

If I recall correctly, the 5 signifies that's the wrapper has already been aged for 5 years prior to rolling.
