Title: One bad side to "aging" cigars
Post by: gitfiddl on 07/03/2020 04:58 PM
Since I started paying attention again to what I was smoking a month or three ago and frequently grabbing a older sticks out of my humidor(s), I've run across several cigars that I would like to have a few more of.  A lot of my stash dates back 5-10 years.  The majority were purchased in fivers and samplers, or came from passes or bombs.  Anyway, I've smoked a few recently that, when I've gone to look for  the interweb, seem to have gone the way of the dodo, today's Caldwell Iberian Express Reserva Sevillana Robusto as an example.  A few sites still list it, but all are out of stock.  It's not like we're talking AF Sharks. after all.

And don't even get me started on blend/blender changes.   I'm still not over the whole 5 Vegas Miami fracas of six or seven years ago...

I get that Dave. It happened more to medium  in the past when I kept a 5000+ inventory. Or sometimes I would just get bored with some particular brand and sell them off but keep a few tucked away and then discover them years later and light it up to find how awesome it was and kick myself in the ass for selling them. The original Camacho Corojo comes to mind. And yes the original 5 Vegas Miami was damn good.
