How long did you let the cigars sit in your humidor before you smoked it?

No telling how the vendor stored the cigar, but the rule of thumb for me is about 30 days in ideal conditions before smoking. The longer a cigar was improperly stored, the longer is has to sit before it's ready to smoke.

I once bought a box of 4 year old cigars and I had to let them sit for about 8 months before they were ready to smoke. You never know.
