One of the issues I'm finding is I can't even get into this ageing situation until I know what I like....and technically according to the reviews I can't try anything until it's aged!
As per your post would probably be best to age something for 30days or so and then try different ones to then decide which ones I'd like to age.

worth noting that if you buy and have stuff sent to you - depending on transit time - it may be worth letting your purchases rest and acclimatise in your humi/storage for a couple of weeks up to a month.
but it you are popping along to your local tobacconist and picking up sticks, then let fly and smoke em!

I only have very limited experience smoking "aged" cigars so take that into account. I've smoked;
1. Montecristo Petit No.2 with 4 years
2. Partagas Short with 6 years
3. Le Flor De Cano Petit Corona with 6 years
All 3 of those cigars maintained their "core" flavour profile, they still had the same essence as cigars with 1 year or less but everything was just smoother, it was like the corners had been rounded off if that makes sense. The main difference that I noticed was that these cigars never became harsh or bitter and were smooth as silk from start to finish. Maybe it's the age, or maybe it was just these particular boxes or maybe it's just because I've learned to smoke slower and more carefully. My personal experience however is that if you like the cigar young there's no reason for you to not like it with age.
