If anyone has the room, I definately recommend aging some boxes of cigars. In 2006, I put away three boxes of Opus X,Shark 77 Anejo, Tatuaje Corona 2003, a few boxes of Cubans, Padron Serie 1926, Padron Serie 1964 and a whole bunch of Hemmingway styles. I also found a box of those Gurka Pre-Embargo cigars (45 left of them.) Best 100.00 I spent on cigars yet.
So far, I took out a AF Shark 77 Anejo, AF Work of Art, AF Short Story and Padron 1964 Principe. All the AF's were amazing. They aged quite nicely. The Shark 77 not as bold as I once remembered it to be. It's a bit more mellow, but still packs a nice build up and punch. It was a very nice smoke. The 1964 Padron I wasn't too crazy about. I actually could not finish it. It was down right horrible. It tasted more like a cigarette then a hand made quality "premium" cigar. Back in 2006, I used to go through these also. They are not the shortest smokes, but doable during a drive. Not sure what happened to the Padron 1964. I am tempted to check out the Padron Serie 1926 next. I got them with the hand painted humidor thingy. It was for some sort of auction for charity or something. I remember they were some really good smokes. I am hoping the same is still true. Next up.... Tatuaje Corona 2003. I was never crazy about this cigar. Let's see what 8 years of additional aging has done to this cigar....
