i feel that there are a few that do well with age. but as many have said above, its personal taste.

Why then, and on what basis, is buyer aging needed?

most do have an aging room.
...and almost Zero non-cuban cigars
need age post sale.
some people like it.
personally i like a stronger cigar with less spice. so i find myself aging cigars that are strong and spicy until they are not as spicy. the spice often goes first so it works out well for me.

this is actually a good idea. you will see how age smooths and settles cigars. if you think the O is harsh, the age may help it.
