Not so much anymore. The 'sick period' isn't as common as it was 6+ years ago as they have gotten smart and started to stockpile tobacco like never before and aging at least a year before being used. The EL's and Behike baccy is aged several years. That's why cigars in 08, 09 and 10 have been surprisingly really good right away.

Aging cigars is part of the fun of this hobby.
