The whole "aging" of Cuban cigars is a matter of personal preference. I very seldom "age" any Cuban cigars I smoke. There are many brands that I prefer to smoke when they are less than a year old. They taste fine to me.
ANY cigar you buy that are shipped to you should sit in the humidor for a while (about a week) to stabalize. Most of the big internet retailers here in the US stor and ship their cigars very wet so they need to dry out.
Cigars you buy from your local shop are usually good to smoke right away but most shops still store them too wet for my preference. They all seem hell bent on the 70% RH which I think is too high. I prefer to keep my cigars closer to 60% RH. You wind up with a whole lot less burn problems that way
