While I've been sitting around being miserable today (extremely stuffed up and sick:X) I took the opportunity to search through some of my favorite sites/forums. It came to me that many people in the online cigar world really frown upon charging more than what you paid for cigars. That led me to the question of what's a fair markup in your eyes for aged cigars? Is there a percentage for every year of proper storage? Does it depend on the vitola & brand? What say you SC'ers? I don't have much experience buying vintage cigars but may be venturing that way and wanted some input.

From what I have seen, aged cigar (10 yrs or less) run between 50 and 100 bucks more than regular production. Vintage cigars (10+ years) all depend on the brand, age, and retailer.

I think a lot depends on the buyer as well. Personally, I never buy aged smokes, unless I can get a great deal on them. I don't know why, but I've never been attracted to the mystique of aging.. I smoke too fast I think

I'd love to hear what LZ or some of the longtime smokers think...

I agree with Mark on this. I just paid $500 for a box of 1998 Partagas 898's.
