When your shipment arrives

[jerseystepup]

pertaining to mostly boxes... will you smoke one ROTT? or will you allow to rest?? just got my box of verocu 9's and they look delicious.. but i cen even smell that they need some time.. light up or resist? what do you do?

[chippewastud79]

Smoke 'em. You didn't buy them to look at. I will wait a week if the shipment seems to have sat in the sun or took a long time.

Smoke one! You got 19 more! They are AWESOME!

I usually don't resist the temptaion to smoke one FOTT, unless past experiences with specific cigars have taught me to do so.

convinced!! ill be back!

[kelmac07]

I always burn one right away...temptation always get me!!

Smoke them!!!

You know, somehow I have the self control to wait a couple of weeks. Not sure why I have self control when the smokes arrive but not even the slightest bit of it when I'm checking out the online retailers.

ive smoked cc's right away, but thats because i heard its best to dry box them before smoking them, so figure a day or 2 in the mailbox is equal to dryboxing...at least thats how i justify my lack of self control! smoke it buddy, theres always more!

[Mr. Ed]

too much self control here. I sit them in the coolers for at least a weak before trying one.

Ill usually try one if they don't seem too wet although I would leave it unhumidified for a day before lighting up. I'd leave the rest for at least 2-3 weeks to calm down a bit.

I usualy have just enough self control to wait till I get home from the office before I light one up. I just don't think my boss would like to see smoke coming out of my cubicle.

The really bad days are when I have more than one type of smoke come in and then I am sitting there and home trying to figure out which one I am going to have.

Such problems. You have it so bad. Don't you?

I would do that, but the humidity in my house is like 76-78%!

I'm pretty good about waiting a few days before smoking one. A week is pushing it. If the first one doesn't smoke well, I try to wait a month.

Time for a dehumidifer I think. I have one and my house is about 63-65 RH all the time. My humidor doesn't even have a humidification device i it anymore, I took them out for more cigars and it's stable at 63-65.I have a cigar in there that is over 80 years old and it is in tip top shape.

They go into the coolerdor for a few weeks to stablize.

some vendors tend to ship "wet". I tend to let em rest 30 days or more.

my guys have a real problem with this. It is best to let them wait, but I still smoke one right away, even though I know it's going to be squishy.

Mine go into the freezer before they hit the main humidor... eventually I get to smoke one!
