A simple observation

Hmmmmmm,

I agree with the concept of nothing is untouchable. However, the reason certain sticks in my humi's don't get smoked is I find that I prefer cigars with at least 3 years of age if not more on them. Since I cannot readily obtain these cigars on a daily basis it behoves me to make sure that I have an adequate supply so that I can age my own.

This is the intent that I buy with, not they are untouchable but rather that I would like to wait a while till they are more in my preferred state.

I would agree whole heartedly that there is a huge difference between collecting and ageing.

But as is with everything in this hobby/obsession of ours..........to each their own and no others should pass judgment.
