A few others on the other hand are nothing less than nirvana.

But doesn't that contradict the Rule of 3s?

I agree with Kelly and the others. Sticks can and do age past their prime - prime being a relative and subjective point.

I have to disagree...Maybe its my noob palatte, but I have never smoked a older cigar saying "man I wish I smoked this 5 years ago" If I find a cigar "flat" I usually attribute it to storage conditions, but like I said I haven't smoked a lot of vintage cigars
