Hi guys. Another set questions for you. I'm new to this "hobby" and I wanted your expert opinions on how long should these age in my humidor before I smoke them?

Macanudo Hyde Park

Perdomo Reserves

5 Vegas Churchill

Morro Castle Churchill

Don Tomas Tubos

5 Vegas Torpedo

Romeo y Julieta Churchill Tubos

Which of these would you recommend I try first, second, .....?

Also, your cigar recommendations for a beginner would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

I've really enjoyed reading the forum and have learned a lot already...but I have a long way to go!

The Macanudo and the Morro Castle are so mild that you needn't let either of them age at all. All are ready to be smoked as they will only become mellower with time.

Neither the Don Tomas nor the RyJ will get much better with age. You can fire them up too.

Both 5 Vegas and Perdomo will taste better with about six months of age on them.

Cheers,

I have a box of Perdomo Reserve Maduros that have been sleeping for about a year and a half. I fired one up a few weeks ago and it was great. I can't believe I had enough willpower to keep myself from smoking the rest since then.

Grond is right on target with his response. Couldn't have said it better. Enjoy!
