Shipping & Rest Consensus

[Old Smokey]

It depends on how many cigars I have. When I first started out, I struggled to wait to smoke one. If I want to smoke a cigar ROTT (right off the truck) and that is what I had at hand, I smoked it. If I have a choice, I let them sit in my wineador for a month or more before I smoke one, or I might smoke one within a day or two of receiving if the mood hit me.
I prefer at least 3 years on most of my Fuente cigars. They seem to age well and I am a Fuente whore.

If you buy a lot more than you smoke, time of rest becomes a non-issue.

You're kinda hitting on where I'm at:

I don't want to touch what's in my tupperdore because they're adjusting from 9+ months at 70.

I guess if I'm itching for a smoke and they come ROTT - I'd rather smoke them than what's in the tupperdore.

Ideally, I should plan on allowing them the resting period and score a B&M box or enough to bide the time.
