Years! Cigars can be stored for 20+ years and still be good. Granted, they will lose a little in the flavor/strength dept, but they will still be smokeable. I have smoked a cigar that was 23 years old and still had flavor.

While Mark speaks the truth....I find any cigars over 10 years become too mellow....especially if it was a lighter stick to begin with.
And if you find a particular stick that you like the flavor profile but its especially strong, then a few yours might mellow the strength.
