Cuban Cigars are like fine wines; some are best enjoyed young, while others benefit greatly from being put away and enjoyed later. All handmade Cuban cigars require a few months of aging to allow the excess moisture introduced during the process of their bunching and rolling to be wicked away. After this period, it is a matter of personal taste. However, you will find that many blends mature and marry when allowed time to age and, typically, the heavier the blend, the more aging they need to improve them. Some blends actually go through a period of time after they are made (referred to as the "sick" period). This is a time where the tobaccos have yet to marry and meld within the blend, and when you smoke the cigar it may actually taste bad. This period can last upwards of year in the heaviest of blends. In addition to a more luxurious, mellow, and richer smoke, you will find that cuban cigars allowed to age for a year or more will burn and draw better. Aging cuban cigars has always been a practice amongst the wealthy and most knowledgeable of aficionados. Truth is, aging will improve your discount bundle cigar immeasurably and we encourage everyone to try setting some cigars aside to be enjoyed later. Once you have enjoyed the experience of a aged cigar, we are certain you will understand the benefits of waiting. |
