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.
I just got it with a bunch from a friend who shipped them to me. I had it sitting in my humidor for about two weeks before I took it out. The thing is I smoked a different size of the Leon Jimenes (longer and thinner) a few days previous and had absolutely no issuses with it. I'm just going to let them sit until I get my heartfelt humidifier and then see if that solves the problem.
