This comes up allll the time, most peeps have already stated the obvious above, but 90 days is good yardstick. As has been said, a lot of sticks are shipped way to wet and smoke terrible ROTT. I've got some boxes that took almost 9 months to become smokeable if just tossed in the humidor (all the HVCs I've gotten have been that way, not sure if that is endemic to the line, just an observation over several boxes). I mean, you've bought a few, so feel free to try one ROTT, but if it's kinda harsh, muted, or has difficulty staying lit, leave the rest to nap.
