Do cigars age well like wine or is it best to smoke them within a certain time period after they are made?

Hello @robissimio, yes cigars age very well when kept in the proper conditions (65-70% humidity). Some age better than others, milder cigars have the "risk" of losing some of their flavor as flavors can mellow over time, but this would probably take 5-10 years, and it's all personal preference.
Cigars will get more smooth as they age, and any edge on flavors will fade away. Even 6-12 months make a difference. Medium to full strength sticks can age well for decades.
Aged cigars, like wine, usually carry a premium on the secondary market. Some of the most sought after are many decades old. I have even seen cigars rolled in the 1890's for sale.
These two are my oldest, they were never anything fancy, the "coupons" cigar is 1930's era, and Hunter 1960's-1970's.
