I have a full box of JR Ultimate Maduros from 2007, 15 or so Cuban H.R. Magnum 50's from 08 and a dozen or so R y J Cubans from 08. BUT, The oldest cigars in the humi are :
A full box of Cuban Cohiba Seleccion Reserva (humidor of 30) from late 2002
AND
a box of San Cristobal de la Habana "El Morro" from May 2001.
The Cohiba cigars are overdue to be smoked, so I'm going to get a start on them as soon as this snow melts (yes, I said snow! Winter storm in effect, dang it!).

Weather's nice here in MA... send em my way, I'll do quality control for ya so you know if they're good or not when the weather gets better there...
I have a few left from my wedding, Aug 15, 1970 , older than a lot of you guys reading this... I am saving one each for the grandsons HS graduation & one for the 50th wedding anniv. IF we dont kill each other first hahahahaha Enjoy, Vince
very nice shot up above; do you live near me and leave your doors unlocked? I'm not a thief, but I suppose I could make an exception.
Only kidding, it's safe to leave them unlocked
Mine's easy, 4 Graycliff 1666 Presidentes from a 5-pack Daily Deal from February of last year. I smoked one a month or so after I bought them, and then buried them. I'm not much of a digger so they've been laying low ever since.
My dad gave me my first humi when I tuned 18 (1971), it had a couple dozen sticks in it of unknown age at the time, there's still about a dozen left. My dad gave up cigars a long time ago but the sticks make a good excuse to kick him off the wagon for a day, he figures he bought them, might as well smoke um.
I just gave in and smoked one of my Cohiba sticks from that box. Great smoke for the age. A slow burn with lots of spice and smoke to enjoy. Looking forward to the rest of them over the next year or 3.

I have 5 Oliva Serie V Maduros from the original release that have been in there since May of last year, and an A. Fuente Hemmingway Classic that someone PIFed me around the same time. Looks pretty old, the cello is all yellowed, but not cracking yet.

The oldest cigar I have is half a box of Monte Cristo Les Cigares Des Artes that the lovely guys here on the thread acutally identified for me!
I believe that they are about 7 years old... discontinued I read..
Sounds yummy! That name does ring a bell from more than ten years ago. I may have smoked one around that time. Hard to remember after so long.
I have 24 sticks out of a box of 25 San Cristobal de la Habana Cubans from May of 2001. They are older than those Cohiba's of mine but no one really pays attention because the name is not as well known.
I setup my first humi in 01/2002 and still have a variety of cigars kicking around from then to 07/2004. Some have improved with age (Padron Londres ... yummy) some have not!
an El Legend Ario thats been sitting for about a year. one of the first cigars i bought still haven't had one. and don't see myself smoking it yet. perhaps sentimental attachment? i just don't want to see that one go.

I'll have to break it out on one of these nicer weekends coming up then! Sounds like a good idea to me anyways...
The longest surviving stick I've got so far is an Oliva Serie V that I've had for just over a year now. I get the feeling that it's days are numbered, though.
