I received my 20 sticks today toro Arganese Maduro. the first time I have ordered 20 from CC the box
did not have any humidor bags in it I don't know if that is the norm when you buy 20 sticks in the past orders for sampler's 7 to 10 I always got them. anyway, the sticks were nice but a little flat on flavor but smooth. it actually got increased in strength mid way then it went limp with flavor. I would not get this cigar again but it is not terrible nor is it really good either. I will order something next week to put in my new humidor another 20 of something more full bodied for a maduro.
"With a medium-bodied profile and a host of fine flavors including chocolate and espresso, this creamy handmade has just the right amount of sweetness."
must be some other stick they are talking about

retircs1, thank you for serving.
Very well said. You will find that (if you have not already) that CCom is a vendor that backs up their products and has great service.
Now about resting and aging....I am surprised that no one has mentioned the wisdom of a well rested and at times well aged cigar, and this goes for any purchase I make. The difference is usually very noticeable. I always smoke a "new" to me as soon as I get it, but the rest of the order will always rest for a minimum of 2 weeks. I even buy some brands that I know I will age for a few months because of the experience I and others on the forums have had.
I am, as I type this, smoking an Ivory Band Black Pearl that I just got, and it shows a great deal of promise, so into the humidor the rest will go for some R&R. Wish I had moved on these sooner, it is a limited run and fast disappearing. They are going to go the way of the yellow band and folks on here are hoarding them and that makes me so sad.
PS you have a PM.
The problem is, most often you will need to find out for yourself which ones are which.
You might be able to find some posts on certain cigars where folks mentioned that they are ok ROTT.
I'll second the 2 weeks rest comment.
You may also find that there may be certain cigars that you will try, that will not be to your liking, that you may leave sitting in your humi for 8-12 months, that will drastically change.
There are many times that I've purchased certain cigars that I didn't care for, only to go back to them a year later and they were pretty good.
