Like fine wine, cigars do get better with age!!!  While some people will store their cigars in their humidor for a few days, other like to keep them in there for years.  This brings out all the complex flavors contained within the cigar.

Almost any cigar that is hand made, hand rolled, uses long filler tobacco leaves, these are premium tobacco leaves and will more than likely benefit and improve with age.  When a cigar is made by hand, that cigar may use several different types of tobacco leaves inside that one cigar.  One may think that their cigar is just the same tobacco leaves for the whole cigar.  That is not the case.  Premium cigars use several different tobacco leaves to createdone premium cigar, this is what sets apart the premium cigar from the average cigar.

Using several different tobacco leaves for one cigar means you will taste a unique blend of tobacco.  When you store these types of cigars for a long period of time, all these different tobacco leaves will "marry" together combining the tobacco into one fine tasting cigar.

A friend of mine had a couple of Cohiba Robusto in his humidor for 3 years - he was saving them for that special occasion.  We all know that Cohiba is a premium cigar.  This past summer he decided it was time to enjoy them, and luckily I was there.  These cigars had a white dust all over them, which was actually crystal that had formed all around the cigar because the tobacco inside had all married together.  Let me tell you, this cigar had such a wonderful taste to it that I enjoyed it right down to the very end.  It burned evenly and tasted exquisite!

So the bottom line.....when a fine cigar is left for some time in the proper environment it will indeed get better with time!
