You'll never know the true production date so put / tape a band / strip of paper on each of the cigars with the date you received them and use that to gauge their "age."

A sharpie on the wrapper works fine. As long as it isn't a maduro or anything like that. Then use white out.

ever covered one entirely in white out? Way better than aging.

there are several different ways to interpret that phrase...all true.

I get around, like Johnny Appleseed.

Some boxes I scribble the purchase month/year.

Haven't bought a non-box pack for a long time. Anything less than a box I'm not really aging. Might sit on em a while, but not years.

It's a lot of work to label each cigar.

I only keep dates for the "important" cigars in a simple Word doc or label the box. Gave up the OCD and tracking every cigar in a spreadsheet a while ago. Some use free Apps available. But for some cigars age isn't a huge factor IMHO

Found it to be much more work than what it's worth. To keep it easy I maintain a separate cooledor just for aging. A 100ct for "regulars", and a treasure dome for CCs and LEs.

OCD runs strong in my family. Genetic disorder for sure. 😰

Bonus flavor too.
