Let it rest?

Blak Smyth · 07-07-2011, 10:10 AM

The comment was made that some sticks are delivered humidity controlled.
Is there a way to know if an order is good to smoke right away or not? Or should you just rest them all?
Currently I am just putting them away as long as I can keep patient, hasn't worked out so well yet. I will be out of rested cigars after this weekend.

Smoke one and find out. You can try and tell by the feel or sponginess of the cigar or the amount of sheen on the wrapper, but smoking one is the best way to really know if they're good to go.

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...

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

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.

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
