[quote=Philly Jack]Hope you smoke them before they over age. NC cigars the tobacco is already aged so the window has shrunk and after 5 years they just get weaker and weaker Dominican they say is 3-4 years Nic 4-5 and down hill from there[/quote]

I've never bought into the idea of NC cigars don't age well. Some do, some don't. I love coming across boxes of

older smokes.

Absolutely love the ESV 91 in all wrappers. The connies have mellowed a bit, however they are sublime......

I was in San Juan a few weeks ago on vacation. One of the B&M's there had boxes of ESV 91 in all wrappers.

Just one example of a NC that's getting better.

JMHO.

And, nice stash bs-kwaj!!!

Is that a hobby, a compulsion, or a cry for help?

...so you've cut back some, eh........

With a collection like that you best watch your humidity level regularly. Beetles could destroy your smokes.

^ Been smoking cigars for about 25 years (but only recently started understanding what I was doing... 😉 )

I've never seen a beetle yet.

My whole stash got destroyed by beetles. Send me one of your Tupperwares. 😇

That sucks, brother. I would be more concerned with temperature than humidity, however. I believe the magic temp

when beetles hatch is approx. 75 deg.

Sorry man, I am just messing with you. I have never had any beetles in my humidor either. I received a cigar once that had holes in it and that's my only encounter in twenty years. I think the humidity has to be over 80% for the little buggers to hatch. Puff away my friend.🇨🇮

Upgrade and get you a couple of YETI 110 coolers.
