Everything else is more along the lines of "next year these Pepin Blues are going to be great" kinda thing where as the CC crowd is laying stuff away for the next decade.
So is there anyone buying NCs in quantity and laying them down for more than a nap?

I think it has a lot to do with the status quo as far as CC aging versus NC. I mean that so far as aging CCs is so widespread that its almost a non-question and considered a necessary step in order to get the most out of their cigar. As far as NCs, better quality control and aging at the factory put a much more polished, immediately consumable product in the hands on the consumer. That said, I think that most smokers find that the majority of NC cigars perform so well fresh that many do not bother holding on to their smokes for much longer than a year.
As for me, when I get a chance and some room I'm gonna lay down a box of AVO smokes. I haven't quite made up my mind as to what series or vitola, but I would certainly love it to be the 787 Perfecto.
