2 years ago my beautiful wife gave me a Padron sampler with 3 1926 series, 3 1964 series and a 6000, and a 4000 all in maduro. They are still sleeping peacefully in their box.
I age all my sticks, but I swear sometime in the past I read that Padron's don't benefit as much from aging.
Can anyone help me with this? It doesn't seem rational to me and I know the other 2000 and 4000's I have in my humidors have benefitted from aging. The 2000 and 4000 are twice as good after at least 6 months.
Is there any truth to this or am I just trying to rationalize not waiting any longer?
And finally, has there been any discussions on when different makes of cigars mature and gain no more benefit from aging.
My personal experience has been that Sancho Panza's flavor seems to plateau between 12-24 months. Hoyo de Monterey Dark Sumatra's is just beginning to blossom at 18-24 months. I am sure they will age gracefully for years. I am not opposed to age some cigars for decades and smoke them when they peak. I am 47 and still waiting to reach my peak!!!
I guess that is all more than one question and maybe also a converstaion catalyst on when some gars reach their peak.
