Just tripled my humidor capacity as a result of my new found love affair with this web site. My wife claims that I buy cigars for the same reason she buys shoes: "so nobody else can have them." But that's not true. I just have a hard time walking away from value.

My questions are these: what sort of imperfections will aging correct? Harsh finish? Uneven burn? Will an average cigar become "great"? Thanks for sharing your experience. LG

The old saying is that you can't make a silk purse out of a sow's ear ...
Put another way, your Lone Wolfs will not become Opus Xs, no matter how long you age them. Aging in a 70/70 environment will mellow a cigar and will deepen and enhance it's flavors ... it will tend to blunt harsh edges, so to speak.

BTW ... it's apparent that you've reached a point where whether or not you build it, they will come ... best you not take half-hearted measures ... write Santa tonight and tell him you want a large cooler and some spanish cedar ... build your coolerador right away. You're going to do it anyway and it's best to get a jump on things ...
