Fresh Rolled Cigars?

[Apoco]

With a cigar that just finished rolling - I've found that 24 - 72 hours was perfect for letting the pectin dry and the cigar tasted perfect. Anything more than that and it tasted too fresh. Don't ask me why - but my cigar age window seems to be 1-3 days or 3+ months

Pepin actually recommends your rule of thumb for the sticks he rolls at events. He hands em out and tells you to either smoke it within a day or after 1-2 months of rest. And from my own experience with rolling my own, I'd have to agree.
