Has anyone aged an Undercrown?
I may have to get a box and keep a few aside. Trouble is they would keep calling to me until all gone.
If ya' got 'em, smoke 'em.
I've only come across one NC brand that noticeably improved with age - Indian Tobac - which was the predecessor to what is now know as the Rocky Patel. I really miss the Old Injuns.

Can't decide on my next purchase.
Box of series V, box of Undercrown, or a selection of individual sticks I've not tried before.
Cant go wrong with the serie v. Reckon ive gone through 3 boxes and many more singles over the years. Barely ever had a dud. Had some undercrowns but found them more inconsistent. Got a couple of double coronas that i need to try actually but cant face it in the winter!

I suppose this really depends on the difference between aging and resting. I think most cigars improve with a year or two whether they are a bundle stick or a 50? cohiba. But you might not really consider that aging i suppose just a decent rest?
I have started buying more than i smoke of my regular nc bundle.. the spanish galleon. They are decent straight from the mail but really excel after laying up for a year. Cant say ive tried aging an nc for a decade yet though!
No shortcut's that will benefit you in the long run.
Just buy boxes or a few singles of each and try one every 6 months or so until you get an idea of how long thing's need to get where you like them.
