What is the oldest Oliva V you've smoked?

[timj219]

I like Oliva Vs. Recently I've been smoking some from '09 and I think I like them even more. Will the improvement continue? For how long? Or is it all in my head?
I know it's impossible to give a blanket answer to "do I need to age my smokes?" but I'm wondering if anyone has tried any of these Vs that were older than 3 years and if so did you see any improvement?

All of my Oliva V's are older than 2009 and they still smoke well IMO. However I have no comparison for any of the recent Oliva's. They are mellowed compared to fresh Olivas of 09 IIRC. Don't know that I would invest substantial numbers in going for long term though.
