Question about aging

[kuzi16]

i found that the VSG is good with 2-3 years on it but when it gets to the 8 year mark it looses what makes it good.

I disagree....I have some ORs (from 1999) that are some of the best cigars I have had...No strength at all, but the flavors and complexity are amazing...

Having said that, I don't think there are many NCs that will stand the test of 10+ years...

i had a few VSG rounds from 99 that had little to no flavor left. maybe there are other factors going on here. i mean, i started smoking cigars in 2005 and got the VSG rounds in 2006. who knows what happened in between. i just found it flat and flavorless compared to one with less time on it.
