If you are referring to the Jaime Garcia Reserva Especial, then yes some of them need some rest.
I've had a few that would have definitely benefited from a little time in a humi.
On the same hand, the local B&M had a box that they didn't get onto the shelf for quite some time, that it extremely enjoyable. If you can get some that have been rested for at least 6 months, they are totally worth getting.

John that's good to hear since I was your split partner on that one, and still have my ten resting. Usually 2 yrs is what I shoot for but maybe I'll take one to the outer banks next month.

These are a little strong at first, I can definitely see them aging well. I have one left, I guess I'll hold onto it for awhile. I have really enjoyed the few that I've had

when did we get these? maybe over a year? give one a try. i have the rest in the aging drawer. i may pull them out.

Mine weren't chemical tasting when fresh, but they were harsh and muddled. I agree that some downtime does wonders. I think I'm right around a year now, and they're quite enjoyable.

I love these bad boys. Wonderful smoke, mine are at ten months. I'm trying to hold out for a little while longer. ROTT, they were harsh. But at the six month the harshness was at minimum and it was a enjoyable smoke. Thick clouds of smoke.

I agree Jaime Garcia's are good with some age, the LE 2011 is awesome right now, I'm gonna be upset when I smoke my last one

I just placed an order for 7 more of the 2011.

I will admit they are a good smoke...tasty good draw and doesn't break the bank

Lets see, gotta find my excel sheet but I know its correct as I am anal about storage dates. Ok I have

Jaime Garcia Reserva Especial Toro 6x54 10 6/8/2011
So we are just over a year. Definitely going to take one to the beach next month, since we got the hefty toro sized smokes and I will need a good burner.
