I certainly wasn't the one to age these cigars, or I would have been buying cigars at an illegally young age. The friend who gifted them ti me hasn't had them for even half of the 20 years either, but I can tell you that they must have been stored impeccably throughout their existence.
One of the cigars was a 70's JJ Fox Partagas Seleccion #3. It was amazing in that for most of the cigar it belied the typical vintage Partagas profile and had a distinct sweetness that I have rarely found in the marca. One of the other friends there smoked one from the box and said the same about the cigar. The final third picked up some serious strength (especially for a 40 year old cigar), and began to exhibit much more of what is the Partagas profile.
