Keep your hands off the good stuff? Why in the hell would you want to do that? Life is too short to smoke cheap cigars, don't get me wrong I enjoy a good deal but not if quality is sacrificed. with cigarbid prices, and for that matter CI prices why are you worried about aging the good stuff, as good stuff ages replace with more good stuff and repeat, the only thing the "alternatives" are for is giving to a moocher who will not apriciate the quality, character, and depth of "the good ones"
