Resting Cigars

If I'm getting my smokes from another brother, or from a couple vendors that keep them very well, I'll smoke them ROTT.
If they come from any of the big NC outfits like Famous or CI, I'll give them about 8 months. The 8 month thing is subjective. I can always check the smokes to see if they're ready earlier, but that's what I've personally found it takes to get a new, wet cigar settled down and get all the barnyard and ammonia out of it.
I can move that along by taking a few out of the cello.
