Cigar gift etiquette question.
(This is all hypothetical. Just someting that I thought about asking.) Let's say I'm planning to buy and give someone a box of cigars as a gift for a special ocasion. I want them to be well rested because I expect that they may want to open and share the smokes immediately. I'm planning to purchase the box soon and keep in my humi for 6 months or a year. Is it proper for me to break the seal and inspect the cigars before storage or does the recipient expect the seal to be unbroken?
I suppose an experienced BOTL could apreciate the fact that you inspected them and rested them but an ocasional cigar smoker might not l understand and might even be offended if the seal is broken. And if you don't know them too well you wouldn't want to come off like a know-it-all while explaining why you broke the seal.

If you are selling them to them, that is one thing. But gifting them, there shouldn't even be a question.
In my mind anyways.
Money can't buy happiness, but it can buy cigars and that's close enough.
It would seem odd to me if I received a box that was opened. Not to say I would not appreciate any gift of cigars open on sealed.

Actually they would probably piss and moan about how hard you hit them, then thank you and welcome them with open arms.
