Always remember the first one don't we? Mine was a MOW Armada, only a year though, got 2 when I joined the COTMC. Got some Armada coronas now going on 2 years now in the humi. What is the cigar?
I would do no cello and out of the box. Not sure if it makes a difference, but maybe the cello would slow the aging process? Probably does not make a huge difference either way, though.
I would remove it from the coffin but keep the cello on. The cello, some say, will slow the aging process but really not that much. The coffin seems to be more mold prone, however, so I always remove them.
I picked up some of these right away when they came out, I smoked one right away. It was a great smoke burned cool the whole way through. I had another a few days ago it was even better with the few months on it. I'm going to sit on the rest, I too am looking forward to the next time in the future to light it.
I age with no celo, just my preference. I save the celo, for shipping, and like a surgeon I put it back on if I can.
I've found it really absorbs the cedar aroma better.
For me, my first aged cigar was an Opus X. It was only a year old, but damn, it was good. Now, I have some that are almost 4 years old. Wonder how they are now.
