How long do you wait to smoke newly received cigars
Am curious of others methods, and just trying to gauge a time by posts isnt nearly as easy as a poll, so here it is above. Cast you votes.
Thanks in advance to those who participate Last edited by smbauerllc; 10-04-2022 at 10:45 AM. |

Usually not long enough with new to me cigars and sometimes regret it If it's a restock, at least a couple of weeks to a couple of months. I have found some brands really benefit from at least a year, like Warped for example.
P.S. can't see the poll on Tapatalk

Really depends on what cigar it is. If I get more than one, sometimes I'll smoke one ROTT and let the others sit for a month or so to acclimate.

It really depends. If it's something I have in stock it's likely months. If it's new to me, I probably wait a week or longer. But if the new to me is a box purchase, the majority of the cigars in that box could age for a year or longer before I get to it.

I age from the truck to the house. Sometimes they don't make it to the house.
I always said I might not live another day. Smoke em if you got em.

Me
Should probably mention that i voted for a week, while like Stogie5150, some are within a couple days of arrival.
So far have only had 1 cigar that was just terrible tasting right away, but after 3 months in my tupperdor, they were like a whole new cigar. Very odd as others from the same vendor and same order smoked fine whenever the mood hit me within about a week. I have a lot of trouble even making it a week with new to me cigars. I'm always so anxious to try one. |

My habit is to smoke one (if it's new to me) ROTT . If that one is good, they're going to be okay. If not ok, maybe rest will help.

Expected

Depends if i just got a fiver or a box. Both typically get one tested within a week, but fivers will get smoked up within a couple months at most, while a box gets smoked slowly over the course of about a year. |

@BigJohn
Thanks for the detailed answer. I'm pretty anal about getting my cigars into a tupperdor asap, but the average humidity in my room is like 32%. That said, i know it honestly wouldn't hurt them to sit out for a couple weeks. I recall once reading that the rule of thumb was gaining or losing roughly 2% rh about every 2 weeks. No idea if that's true or not, as i have never seen it mentioned anywhere but the post i read it in. I also understand about tupperdor tetris starting just recently. Both my 74qt tupperdors are completely filled now, so i had to use 2, roughly 80ct tupperdors for overflow, and my genius ass will be ordering 2 more bundles in a couple weeks, so they will have to go in overflow too. I friggin love cigars |
