I was thinking the same thing. When I think of aged cigars, I think of 5 years, or more. I rarely smoke cigars younger than 5 years, of box code, except to gauge where they are. But that is for cubans. I usually let OpusX, and Anejos age at least a few years.
As to the original post. Most Non-cuban mild cigars do not age well. There are a few exceptions to that rule, but it is generally true. Just as most, domestically available cigars are meant to be smoked soon. That is why they are good fresh. Most of the aging is done, before they leave the factory.
