So here's my "I'm the new guy and have no clue what I'm really doing" query. I hear age this or give that a year or so a lot. Online, in threads, videos...ad nauseum. My question is how long, on average, do cigars sit after being rolled? Are they shipped immediately? Left in a warehouse to age a bit before they're shipped? And if I'm being recommended to age a stick "X" months or years before giving it a try, do I count the delay between rolling and shipping as ageing?
As a corollary, how does one tell the manufacture date on NC sticks? I've seen pictures of boxes with lot codes and dates stamped or branded ito them, but I've not seen that on any of the NC boxes I purchased. As for samplers or 5 or 10 packs, they just show up cellophane packaged.
I've drifted through the threads a bit but haven't really found much data. But it's entirely posdible, nay, probable, that my old self just flat missed it. So I've ascended the mountain seeking enlightenment from the Gurus of the Leaf. What say you, oh wise ones?
