UpInSmoak Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 I'm no supertaster, but I taste well enough to pick up on the shock from transport. I wait at least a couple of months Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pedro2486 Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 I've always really enjoying everything I've smoked ROTT. The travel time is only a day or two so it's not like it's affecting them much. Usually after a day or three they seem to be worse and them back to normal after a week or two Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
airtrade Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 I used to light em up no sooner than I opened the box. I have had a few seem harsh and after a few weeks or a month sticks out of the same box taste much better. I now TRY to wait a month. Doesn't always happen.

fabes Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 Nearly always wait a month or more, but today is an exception. HUHC that landed today. No regrets, it is very good, but won't have the next for several weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeafLover Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 So what is the issue then with waiting? The time in transit? The change in altitude? The change in humidity? The change in temperature? The rough handling of the parcel? Just asking what everyone'd logic is other than it just taste better after xx days it's been acclimating in my hometown's air, rh, ozone, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I'm good with that. And often times I find them more pungent on arrival than after 30 days in my winedor. Just different strokes for different folks. Was just wondering if there is any chemistry or physics behind all this waiting. Every now and then I ask myself "but why?". To me there is no right or wrong. Just trying to gain understanding of different viewpoints. Hell I'm like most amd wait 30 days the majority of the time but don't have any solid reason why I do. If I'm curious about the cigar or about the box I'll smoke ROTT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Celsius post office, lets say 20%Rh (yes it could vary as hell from 90 to 0 and temp-wise too) -0 deg C 0 Rh airplane, transfer room (depending where but could be up again 30 C, 20Rh) then again then again and again... in my case the boxes are going through at least 5 different countries before I put my hands on them. they are shocked. there is a reason why we are not storing our cigars in a variable condition like that above. there is a reason why we want stable conditions all year round. so yes it counts imho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeypots Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 It doesn't matter to me why there is a funky period from transit. My experience tells me there is and the 30 day rule is a good one to use. I've smoked too many cigars ROTT that disappointed to waste any more. Granted, it's harder to wait with a smaller collection. They don't call it the dark side for nothing...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tjohn7 Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 I rarely have the patience or self-restraint to not light one up when it comes in. After that my excitement usually wanes and I can resist touching the rest of the box for a while after. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subport Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 Everybody to his own. But it is funny we have experiences on both sides. I only have 2 both terrible so I wait. Of course could be any other reason caused by but I blame on the transit. Deep down I know could have been a dud cigar and no connection to the transit conditions. But still I have the patience and tons of cigars to smoke so no need to rush anything Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
