How long should I let my new cigars rest before I can smoke them? I received two boxes in the mail today. I live in Texas so when I opened the UPS box I found the cigar boxes were very warm. They have been sitting in the coolidor for about 4 hours now.

To the question above: Some maduro wrappers, typically in cheaper maduro cigars, are dyed or altered to appear darker than they actually are, like Mike said. In my personal opinion the Lot 23 Maduros are naturally maduro and they do not try to dye them to make them appear darker. Just my two cents though.
