Maximum duration of storing cigars?

Cigars can generally be stored inside a humidor for an unlimited period of time, as long as a constant relative humidity of 65-75% and regular supply of fresh air are ensured. High-quality premium cigars develop a special flavor after many years of storage. In particular in Great Britain there is a long tradition of storing cigars for the optimum unfurling of the tobacco flavor.
