Lots of talk here about cigars that improve with age. How about those that don't? What cigars should be smoked as soon as you get them because they lose their flavor?

I'm not sure about as soon as you get them, but many of the newer (non Pepin) Padillas......
The few 5Vegas I used to like (Miami, AAA) seem to wash out as well

Seems to me that the maduros tend to show improvement, while lighter wrappers seldom do.

Really......My Tat 2012 Capa Especial's,although half the box is gone,are still the same as the first one I smoked.They just haven't been rested long enough for me to tell any difference at all.As a matter of fact I think 3 years is the least I've ever really noted any significant aging difference.......positive or otherwise.

Many have spoke of the VSG not aging well.I beg to differ,I have some 5 year old CG's just covered in plume that are incredible.

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.

What about Padrons? With some for sale from '04 and aged before their release, what are some estimates on the Padrons before they start losing points?
