Do you guys mark or segregate sticks by purchase date?

I mark my boxes with purchase date, not so much singles and 5 'ers unless they were gifts or trades which all get marked.

Wouldn't there be a lot of variation in "aging" before you bought it? Or should we assume most cigars get sold before there is significant age?

The short anwer is yes, there is significant variation. Some cigars are aged several months after they are rolled, some are shipped with little to no additional aging after rolling. Some retailers turn stock over pretty fast, some don't.
