I personally love to taste them over time. But I usually like to let a puchase sit in the humi for 5-7 days before I try one. If I get a 5er or more I like to try and see how the taste changes over time (i.e. monthly). That doesn't always happen when I find a new smoke I really like unless I have the $$$ to buy a box.

Just what works for me, everyone is different.
