Maturing Your Favorite Top Smokes

April 24th, 2010 by admin

Some people will tell you the feeling of smoking a superior, aged cigar can compare only to consuming a fine, mature bottle of wine. They’re wrong. A rare aged smoke gives you more. Mature wines and cigars stimulate your senses of taste, sight, smell, and sound, but sense of touch is enjoyed only with cigars. And the right smoke aged the correct way will give you an unique sensual experience that totally expresses the excitement of all five senses.

Collectors are basically keen on old Cuban cigars though they may also purchase the occasional mature box from countries like Honduras, Jamaica, the Dominican Republic or the Canary Islands. Older cigars created before the December 1959 Revolution are ordinarily described as “pre-Castro.” Those made before the announced U.S. Trade embargo against Cuba in February 1962 are “pre-embargo.”

This doesn’t suggest that a smoke must be more than thirty years old before it’s considered properly ages. Sometimes cigars develop a developed character after around eight to 10 years old. That means that cigars should ideally have five to 7 years of storage after they arrive from the factory because aged tobacco is used in the mixes of nearly all premium hand-rolled cigars.

Buying and puffing fine tampa sweet cigars may seem appropriate for only the most devoted fan, considering the cost and inconvenience. But after you try a well-matured cigar, you have to have more. It is a little like an obsession or picking up vintage sports cars. Naturally, a fresh-off-the-factory-line Hoyo de Monterrey double corona or a new Porsche 911 each represent fantastic quality, but there’s something additional, something special, when you’re touching a vintage edition.

Although, not all cigar gurus agree, some say cigars are prepared to smoke when they leave the factory. Some also think that aging cigars online makes minimal difference. However, some have been seen to praise a fine, old cigar when they smoke one.
