I love these questions.
The best answer I can give you is:
According to who?
The maker: Made them to smoke now
Folks that love ROTT: ALL cigars are ready now. Age? What age? I don't know if I will be alive that long
Folks that don't like a sick period and it comes: Avoid the sick period but try to figure out exactly when that will be
Folks that like a few years on them: Wait a few years
Folks that like lots of years on them: Wait lots of years
Folks that like 40-50 years type vintage: Wait 40-50 years or buy them then and pay lots of money and kick yourself for not buying them now
Hope that helps.
