Well my follow up question to this whole aging thing would have to be: how long for particular cigars? Both cheap domestics to high shelves to cubans?
My experience with aged cigars has been very limited but with the exception of aged cubans (only a couple) I didn't find that major of a difference between fresh off the shelf and year to two year old cigars other than in the body of the cigar itself, normally harder than buying fresh from the shelf.
