Aged Habanos Cuban Cigars

Aged Habanos Cuban Cigars & History

No hard and fast rule exists on the amount of time that must elapse before a Habano can be described as “Aged”.

Some consider that 5 years is sufficient for the benefits of aging to become apparent, others feel that at least 10 years should pass since the Habanos were placed in their box.

Nor is there a unique theory on how the taste of any particular size or brand of Habanos will change over time. Many books and articles have been written on the subject, but nothing counts as much as the individual taste preferences that smokers have accumulated through their own experience.
Provided that the correct conditions of temperature and humidity are respected, you can build your own collection of Habanos and age them for a long time. There are aficionados and collectors of Habanos, who treasure boxes with very old dates including some that go back fifty years or more. Sometimes their patience is rewarded at auctions where aged Habanos have been known to attract prices as high as $1,500 per cigar.

The maximum time that a Habano can continue to be kept and to improve its taste qualities while it is aging is another matter that attracts conflicting opinions. In any event, the length of time it will last depends upon the blend and the quality of the tobaccos used to make the Habano that is being aged and, of course, on the correct temperature and humidity to avoid the cigar losing its aroma through evaporation.
