I have found that fresh arrivals need a month at least. Possibly due to the air shipments t, or wet conditions most vendors use for storage.
Long term aging to meld flavors is an entirely different and interesting question. I have had cigars change radically after just a few years of aging. The duration probably depends on the tobacco used and how it was cured so the length of time for aging is a variable that is difficult to Nial down.
