Still have a couple of the '59 Maria Mancini's left. Last one I smoked was about 7 years ago.
The '98 Opus PL with cello so yellow and stuck to the cigar I had to cut it off, was OUTSTANDING Wednesday night!

Re: The oldest.
I also had a hand full of the WWII sticks. Old and very musty tasting. Smoked two and gave the rest away. Not for me.
Smoked quite of few early 90's stuff (92 Punch lonsdales [GREAT], 93? ninfas [amazing], 95 LGC something [excellent] or other). I still have one 92 lonnie. Also got to smoke a couple 85 RyJ churchill tubos. The flavor profile on sticks greater than 20yrs old is completely different than even 10yr old stuff. For whatever reason, the tobacco changes (to me!).

This is one of the smaller sized. The others are fatter but I believe same length.

Oldest owned is 1986 Rafael Gonzalez Coronas extras. Only have a 5'er and they are my birth year smokes so I'm planning to smoke one on my birthday every 5 years starting at 30.
Oldest smoked is a 99 Partagas 898V and it was amazing. Smoked a couple of '00 cigars too but none of them have been too good.

Re: The oldest.
I smoked a 3 pack of RyJ CFs from '85 or '87, somewhere in there, with FredD and CadillacDoc.
I've got a Cuban Davidoff Margeaux in my humi somewhere, not sure of the date, the remains of a box of '95 Luci's in there somewhere too.

The oldest is a pre embargo Cuban from '60. A good friend of mine gifted it to me in a trade we were having. It blew me away it was so good.

Re: The oldest.
I'm still new myself only been doing it a couple years. I got a couple sticks from 2010. I think the oldest stick I've smoked was a couple years old that was gifted to me. I've been thinking about getting one of those vintage boxes that JR sells.

Smoked one and still have one R&J CF from '85. I was shocked how good it was. Also have a box of CC's from 1994 for my son's 21st birthday in 2 1/2 years. It has 1994's, Monte 2's, Cohiba Espys, Hoyo, Monte 1's, ERDM, HdM #2, and more. Also some '96 Espy's.
