It's really not that bad, they're rather easy to come by and the prices can be cheaper than many high-end premiums. There are plenty of CCs under $10 a piece.

...That being said, they always do benefit from rest/aging. In fact, some practically demand aging but I'm sure you've noticed that since you got your first humidor that a year or two into it you have cigars that are a year or so rested. It just takes some time...in the mean time there are some great brothers that occasionally sell aged CCs for no profit, just to make room. This is very beneficial in the beginning stages of that side of the hobby.
