I'm smoking one of my few Camacho H1 cigars. This cigar is quite old ( not exactly sure but maybe 10 years) and it is an amazing, mellow experience.

I have other gars that I have had a while... And I have noticed that time is not always so kind. I'm wondering; what gars have worked out for you over the long term and what hasn't?

I have yet to have a cigar "disappoint". They do change and my expectation can affect how much I enjoy the smoke. With that being said most premium full bodied cigars hold up well to aging.

most camacho cigars have aged well for me.
i had a 5 Vegas series A a while ago with 4 years on it and age did it well.
i actively dont like OpusX when they are young. they need at least a year for them to get good in my mind. 3-4 is even better.
i had decent luck with the Oliva Serie V. it wasnt worth the wait though.
A friend of mine had a DPG blue with a bit of age and i was told it was great.
also the Liga Privada no9 has dome well with age for me.

i think that LFD would age well if i could keep my hands off of them long enough to get some time on them...

Ive had a couple RP vintage 90&92 that didnt age all that well. I had a couple/few of each in the humi and they had approx 3 years in my humi and some were great and some seemed spoiled!
