Honestly if you want to smoke it, a week is enough, IMO. Unless it has a reputation for needing rest, most cigar makers age their cigars for a year or longer before it leaves the factory.

I have never read of a cigar that was a dog rocket ROTT but then became a holy crusade worthy cigar after a few years aging.

So in other words, if you're interested in trying it, try it now. If you like it and want to, buy more and age some of them!

that also depends on what %RH you like your cigars, most B&M's and online places keep theirs around 70% most of the people around prefer theirs between 62-65. A cigar will change at about 1% a week as a general rule. I usually give sticks form the B&M about a month before I smoke them, but it's not a hard rule just have fun with it.

True, good point, but that is more about RH rather than about aging for taste reasons.
