Aging h upmann?

[daleo8803]

Do mag 46 age well? Loved the one Arron hit me with and I'm thinking of buying a box and smoking one each year for my b day.

I would think most CCs would age well, but I don't know how long the Magnums had on the shelf before they were boxed and shipped. I have one in my humi that I've been resting about a month. I have no intention of smoking it any time soon, but we all know it's not gonna last

In my very limited experience, H Upmanns age very well. Whether they would age 25 years is anyone's guess, but IMHO I think they would age quite well.

short answer.........yes

Agreed with the above, I've had good luck aging Mag 46s.

Think you can get up to 10 years at least out of the Mag 46. After that they may diminish some, though I don't have experience. I have had some that were 7-8 years old (lots of others probably have too) and they were very good IMO.

Most Def - the caveat being, successfully utilizing proper long term aging techniques .

Your preferences? I sit at 66-68 F and around 60-65 %

'05 Mag46 was delicious...smoked it about a year ago and it was still very flavorful...not aged out at all. 25 years may be pushing it though.

My rh is pegged separately 65 and 62 , and locker temp is 24/7 68f.
A specific factor is the limiting amount of exposure to fresh air .
25years would best be achieved with the least - (box opened once or twice) amount of exchange frequency - scaling down appropriately .

You'll smoke them by next birthday, but if you need help justifying the purchase then I'll be your huckleberry
