Hello Brian, Have read your post twice but still a bit confused.
Don't know about aging cigars. Have enjoyed smoking some that I've gotten with some "extra" time on them.
Do know some who've cut longer cigars i.e Churchills in half prior to smoking...well, yeah would have to be before smoking would it not.
Spliting cigars in half and aging them...this is the bit that confuses me.
Have seen pix of cigars split in half, meant just to show how the cigar was made.
What I'm wondering is this: Once you've aged the cigars and I assume you'd be keeping the two halves together, to made the reassembly as smooth as possible.
How do you plan to re-unite the split halves ?
By adding another wrapper ?
That would change the flavour, and thus negate the value or purpose of the aging would it not ?
