So, newbies and good smokes don't go together?

Most NC's have already been aged before being rolled. Enjoy them straight out of the box all you like. ISOM's are of course a different breed, but if your looking at NC's, the aging and tending thing is more part of the hobby then the actual development of the sticks. Master blenders who have grown up in the field and have smoked more sticks than you or I could in a lifetime have designed a certain profile they wish to share with us. Believe me, It's perfectly acceptable to smoke "fresh" NC sticks to your harts content. It's how the blenders would want you to.

Nothing against aged sticks or the practice of aging sticks. I know a lot of BOTL's live by the aged stick alone it's just not everyone's cup of tea.
