Stopped saying that "most non-Cubans don't age well." I am now convinced that most do. My collection got to the point where it was just way more than I'd be able to smoke over my remaining lifetime, so I've mostly stopped buying much beyond the occasional single from a B&M, or 5'er from a duty-free shop. Consequently, 99% of what I have has >5years on it. 90% are wunderbar and the rest are excellent. That said, the vast majority of what I have is premium, or super-premium, or Cuban. Not sure that makes a difference; it's just what I happen to have, no dog rockets, or yardgars.

I also quit saying that "an un-aged Opus isn't worth smoking." Several years ago a friend adamantly declared that he greatly preferred "fresh" Opus for their strength. I've since become able to appreciate both speeds.
