How long do you guys wait before smoking?

No rules in particular. When I buy some cigars, let's say a box for the sake of the example, I will usually smoke on within about a week. If it seems like the cigar is showing signs of youth such as unbalanced flavor, any sort of bite or bitterness I will put them away for a minimum of 90 days. Aside from that, if a cigar smokes well then it is fair game.

I let everything rest for a couple of weeks, but after that, I smoke whatever I'm in the mood for, or whatever strikes my fancy when I open the humi. Unless it's something special I'm budgeting myself on.

I usually buy 2 of everything, or more, and when I do buy something that is new to me, I put them both in the humi and usually try to smoke one of them ASAP but I have so many that are sitting in the "waiting to smoke" area that I won't be getting to it for some time. I use the 90 day rule for a lot of smokes, but if it feels good or if I get it at my local store I'll be smoking it sooner.
