Not the oldest right now, but I have a box of Tatuaje Havana Cazadores still sealed up in the foil that I'm trying not to touch until they're ten years old. They're getting close to 5 years old now.

Something to ponder. What happens if that box is the unlucky victim of Tobacco Beetles. You will never know it till you at least open it up. Thus I open every box that goes into my humidor. I remember an incident at the Outlaw Cigar Shop. The owner claimed one of the Hemingway maduro boxes and it was never opened. Many years later it was and the bad news was that the box wasn't maduros. But it was to late to get it corrected. Also something to think about. Not to burst the bubble but things do happen out of our control.
I box a box of AF Cuban Belicoso's and 15 of the 24 cigars was ruined. If I would have sat on them and not opened them, I'd have been screwed.![]()
Don't jinx me now! :angry: :laugh:

Its not a jinx. Just a simple fact. I've aged my CFCF cigars in and out of the coffins. If my memory serves they tasted better in the coffins. But I can open them up at any time to monitor how they are doing over time. I just can't afford aging any box unopened. Seen to many train wreck photos of unopened boxes that will keep me from doing that.
I do have cigars from 1999 to present. Of course its Fuente products that I know that age well. I fired up some 858 SG's that was from like 2002 or so. I had 3 of them and I'm glad I did because these sticks went past their aging date. I was kinda shocked as I've had older ones that tasted better than these. Or it could have been my taste buds have changed due to my sinus pill and spray that I am on. Even my Opus X seem different to me. :laugh:
