Glad to see the O-Fest beer is available. Have to hit the local market to try and get some. Hope it was a good cigar Tim.
It was good, a little heavy I had to eat some ice cream to keep the nicotine buzz at bay

Sorry to hear that. It seems that a lot of blends now lean towards positioning the high nicotine filler toward the head of the cigar. I guess that's what some folks really enjoy these days.
I'm also a light weight I guess lol
How long do you usually age a cigar? I've heard you can go up to 10 years.
I usually shoot for two-three months

I can't take strong Ligero filler cigars either -- not worth the hassle.
As far as aging is concerned, it's a matter of who (i.e. which expert) you want to believe. Most all central/south American cigar tobacco is somewhat aged and ready to smoke when the cigar leaves the distributor or factory warehouses. I usually leave them in the humidor for one or two months and start enjoying them. Ultra-Premium brands usually use well aged tobacco to begin with and they can be enjoyed right after a few days of humidor acclimation.
The only exception is Cubans. They're shipped fresh and they require a long time of aging. I usually age my Cubans one/two years depending on strength. The stronger they are, the longer they need to age. For example I have a bundle of Romeo y Julieta Cazadores sitting in the humidor two years now, and they won't be ready to smoke for at least another five/six years. They are considered the most potent (full bodied) of Cubans, and that potent tobacco needs a long time to release the high nicotine and especially the strong ammonia.
Here's some info on the Cazadores ..
