Letting em rest for awhile takes some of the bite out of newer rolled Cubans.
You gotta smoke them ASAP. If they are dry, which never happens to my cigars, put them in the humidor. Or store them there until you smoke them. Don't wait it out, smoke them while they're fresh. Brugal Anejo neat is great with a Montecristo.
