What is everyone take on the following question. Who long should you age cigars? Why should you age cigars? I have trouble letting a cigar I like age. I look at them everyday and try to practice self control.

Allowing a cigar to age can be a temptation, but the results are often worth the wait.Ageing allows the humidity level in a cigar to become consistent throughout and as a result is matures in is perfect environment becoming smoother over time. However, some prefer a certain cigar straight from the box and find after ageing it does not meet their expectations. Most experienced smokers I know do prefer to give them some time in the box, but cigar smoking is a subjective experience and as long as you enjoy it the heck with it.

get a big pot. put in salt, pepper, carrots, chicken pieces and fill it 2/3 with water.

would you eat it now or let it cook a while.

i prefer chicken soup.

the different leaves in the cigar need to marry.

Evening the humidity is one of the best points to aging. .

I find that sitting in a humidor, getting moved around a little here and there gets rid of the burn problems (running, caving, hard to keep lit spots).
