madandana Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 Oh my... beautiful. You’re supposed to wait but you can’t. Do I see a RASS? Smoke it! If not then a D4. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Capt. Corona Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 If it were me on my first.....one of those RASS would be set ablaze first chance I had to blow smoke.? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MigsG Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 Regios are great young, so I'd have one of the Regios first - but after the stated rest time, and then dry boxed a week! Then smoke each cigar after that, one day after another. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vortigan Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 Wait the 30 days but in order to take your mind off them get online and start looking for more and bigger storage capacity, much bigger......you are going to be needing it!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rega25 Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 If you’re gonna keep adding to your collection steadily in the next month then I would smoke one or 2 in a few days just to celebrate and just get an extra quarter box to replace them, those rass look tasty 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stogieluver Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 First of all, welcome to the Dark Side. Another movie line that comes to mind, as mentioned, is "you're gonna need a bigger boat". Smoke one or smoke 'em all. Either way, don't judge any of them that haven't rested for at least 60 days. Enjoy the journey. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clickbangdoh Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 I'm going to be the umpteenth person to tell you to wait. So, just wait. 30 days is a start, 60-90 would be better. Some of that depends on your typical smoking environment. Muggy tropical type environment (read: Florida)? Make that 90 days + a possible dry-box depending on storage RH. Arizona? You can probably safely get away with 30 days. Relights can kill a cigar and ruin the experience, so why risk it. If you already have cigars (i.e., your from the states and have plenty of supply of NC's) then keep at them for now, but I would recommend toning down the full-strength face-burners a few days ahead of your first cuban's: they are a far milder experience in the main. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alloy Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 74.2* fahrenheit? Need to get into the 60's and wait 30 days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thirds Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 I’d spark up a RASS but you’ll enjoy the experience more while you wait. Smoke nothing but NCs for the next 30 days and then compare the experience. If you want the reward I think you’re seeking you’ll wait. I smoked some ROTT and I can tell you from my experience they get better. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hammer Smokin' Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 are those MMC's? If so, they would be my first choice. Likely my current favourite cigar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’ll get cooler in here as it gets more hot and humid outside, and I crank the AC. 27 minutes ago, Hammer Smokin' said: are those MMC's? If so, they would be my first choice.

Jal154 Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 With 74 degrees you might want to bring the humidity down to 60. I live in Florida, ac always running. I have mine stored, the ones I don’t smoke in a ZIPLOCK WEATHERSHIELD box. It has a blue seal around the edges. This size holds about 10 boxes. It stays at 72-73 degrees and 60-61 RH. I have 5 62% boveda packs in there. They have lasted about 6-8 months so far and will last another 5-6 months. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
