Great pics buddy. I have some Bolivar Pyramides that are ~12 years old, and still absolutely fantastic.

Why have such a stock though? Can you re-sell an "aged" cigar? Seems like most of those collections, if smoked by one person, would never get through them all... Especially if your constantly buying more smokes. I can understand keeping 20-40 while smoking 2-4 per week, and constantly buying new additions.

Wow, those are some amazing collections! Some serious money tied up in some of those boxes. Though I can understand, its an addictive habit (buying more and more!).

Camacho Connecticut. It is smooth and creamy, but has a fair amount of spice. Camacho was acquired 2 years ago by Davdoff (for an astounding $55mil) and the first thing that Davidoff did was make them come out with a more ild "beginner's smoke". It has the complexity and depth of a medium-to-full-bodied cigar, but without the bite. I was recently in Honduras at the Camacho factory and it was quite an impressive show.

Nice posts Uboat. Very on-point. By the way, at the 15-20 year point, cigars can continue to improve or can start to lose flavor rapidy. It is suggested to crack open any boxes that may be this old around the 15 year mark and smoke one anually to see what is going on with the cigar so that you are no immensly disappointed once you finally dig into them.

OMG - this one is freakin' nuts!! It would take a life time of good friends who smoke, many whiskeys etc. to knock that lot off!! Holy Hell.
