Good point:-)

I always let my cigars acclimate for at least a week in my humidor.

Patience is always rewarded.

I am not a patient cigar smoker. This will be my demise!
I am a patient puffer though, so I got that going for me?

Buy more than you can smoke, then you are golden. That's the trick to aging cigars. :-)

I let mine rest at least 2 weeks to acclimate to my preferred conditions or till the ammonia smell goes away. (if it's present) If I can, I will wait a month. You can notice the difference. I have always been dissapointed when smoking them right away.

I am trying but the cigar elves keep stealing them from my humidor.

No, as in the shine caused by the tobacco oils on the wrapper.

Smoke one & see what it's like. If you dont like the way it smokes then put them to rest & periodically check them out... :-) :-)

With box purchases I will usually smoke one ROTT just because I am impatient and than will tuck the rest away for at least 3 weeks. I usually smoke that first one so I'm not staring into the cabinet at them with lust and envy because I didn't get to smoke them yet and just need to get it out of my system. I'm like a child with a new toy when I get new cigars delivered.

Very well put. If you're not sure and want a single, grab a 5'er. If you like them and want 5, buy 10. If you want 10, buy a box. Soon you won't have to worry about letting them rest because you'll have so many others to smoke.
The only darwback is you've just started a collection which will outgrow all forecast storage, so buy my fridges! LOL

Because it is summer time and everything needs enough time to sit in my fridge, then my freezer, then my fridge again, and then get up to humidity. :-)

agree with everything said above about the shipment ... but besides I have one more reason for that... I do not like to buy a lot of cigars at once, I have a small humidor, but I love some cigars left for later, mostly those that I liked, in order to have always the opportunity to enjoy them :-)
[Reply]

Agreed. Though I "rest" my cigars once received. As my reward, I almost always smoke one prior to "resting" the balance of my order (2 - 4 week period). The end result is (almost always) better than the cigar that was smoked immediately after receipt.
Just my $0.02

I'm confused. Are cigars ROTT too wet or too dry?
