You can read this thread fine on crapatalk, but not a browser weirdly enough....
Anyway, back on the thread. Not including those cigars we specifically want to age, generally speaking, after cigars are delivered how long do you let them rest before torching one up - minutes, hours, days, weeks? and what if any is the reasoning behind this? Sometimes, I can't wait to try a certain cigar and light one up and more often than not it disappoints (bad burn line, poor draw etc...) - but revisiting a month or so later and it can be a totally different (better) experience
As it was summer I lit one up as soon as I could after delivery. Quite glad winters coming to give me a chance to stock up without smoking everything as quick as I?m buying it.

I have heard all sorts of different arguments for this, but personally I don?t have any hard and fast rules it generally depends on where they?ve come from and how long they?ve been in transit. So within the U.K. if the weathers warm and it?s only been a day or two in transit I?d try to leave a week but wouldn?t worry about it really.
If it?s probably been in a plane hold or through cold winter weather id normally make sure to leave it a good month before touching.
Whether this makes any real difference I can?t say though!
Considering the positive reviews of fresh QdO 50's and 54's, I've got a couple boxes with only a few months on them. I generally leave at least a year before I touch a box but from the sounds of things, good to go already?!
I'd agree PJ, the larger the RG the longer it usually takes to get to a smokable state, whereas the 50 really is a very decent smoke fresh & as you know, that's a rare vote for fresh cigars from me!
