First non-intro post, so thank you to everyone's participation in advance. To start, I've been smoking cigars for the past 5+ years, but over the past year and a half, I've really started getting into it, so appreciate your patience as I learn.
So I'm trying to understand why some say milder/medium cigars don't store well long term, yet a Davidoff, a traditionally mild/med cigar suggests, and sells longer term stored cigars. It's also a little confusing as a lot of the older Cubans were not nearly as strong as some of the full bodied cigars around today, but yet, they're praised for their age.
I'm sure there's not a hard fast rule, but it seems like if the cigar is well made, and of good tobacco, it should be good for years. And as my collection has grown, I guess I'm concerned I'll miss the boat on a $250 box of something who's window past because they hung around in humidor for 2-3 years. Example would be something like Davidoff Winston Churchill. As a rated 'medium' cigar, would these be fine for 3+ years if stored well?
Thanks!
