I personally like to let everything I order rest, if I can hold out. But that's mostly because I buy exclusively from the US and have seen shipping take anywhere from 1-3 weeks to cross the border. Rule of thumb I use is 1 week in the humi for everyday in transit. I have tried a couple 5 packs I've ordered ROTT vs resting for a few weeks and it's night and day. Getting them to the proper RH with a little rest is definitely worth the wait.
