    I don't think either of those two blends will be much different after 6 months as opposed to 1 month. You can rest just about anything for 6 months but after that some of the milder sticks will begin to have their flavors wash out. That's why most people age stronger sticks. It doesn't really have anything to do with purchase cost, it's all about flavors melding together and stronger leaves smoothing out.

    Ive found that instead of tasting like dog turds....with a little aging.....cheap sticks taste like well rested dog turds-------Lol, J/K man, I rarely age anything---like to smoke too much.

    IMO nothing will help the Dominico (just me) and the 2002 shouldn't need more than 2 or 3 weeks

    It depends on the stick, not the price, as previously stated. I find that sticks that initially may have some harshness do well with a little longer to rest. IME, everything else being equal, cheap sticks are slightly more likely to be harsh or "green". Do with that what you will.

    Not in the time frames you are talking about. I have smoked some cheap stuff that had 10+ years of age on it that was fantastic though, and I think if you are starting with crappy tobacco, it's still probably going to be crappy tobacco, no matter how long you age it. All depends.
