Glad they arrived on schedule Al! Let me know what you think of those Regius! The Curivari is one that my local B & M started carrying, and I love it. Jaime Garcia is the first cigar I had when I started! Enjoy! @Albinfk
@Diver43 Well I already had 4 or 5, so I guess it's half a box or so. They can be hard to find. But I couldn't fit the box anywhere in my humidor, so theyre in a pile.

Someone broke into Lacey's car, and I caught it on camera so I made a sign of it to hang in my yard. they have threatened to sue me if it doesn't come down, so of course it's not.
Stashed me a fresh-rolled box of Maks Churchills. Named Maks after the Slovenian named Maks who sent me the mold I used to make them. Dominican Viso, Seco, and Olor, bound in Connecticut Habano and wrapped in Mata Fina. Longest cigars I have rolled yet.
Don't usually smoke cigars this long; but the mata leaves were giant and the filler co-operated, and I had this big box, so...

After rolling, how long do they need to rest before smoking? I wonder because there are several shops down here where they roll cigars and I have seen people pick them up and smoke them.

My sense of it is that if you're going to smoke them without age, then smoke them right fresh off the table. They'll have a rough edge, but nothing sour. If dampness from the rolling process is going to turn into diaper pail smell or sour taste, then that will happen the next three days. Don't expect a perfect burn.
If you're going to age them, the first and biggest improvement comes around six weeks in the box. By this time, the different leaves have learned to make friends, and the wrapper has shrunk down tight. Now you should get a conical cherry, tho you may have some side burn.
But if you can hold off six months, they will mellow. A year is even better. Even sticks you didn't much care at birth for can happily surprise you after a year. Now you should be able to set the cigar down to smolder, the way I like to do. A robusto should give you an hour and a half.
I roll a whole crap-pile of test quickies when trying to come up with blends to stash, and I smoke them same or next day. You have to use your imagination to predict how the thing will taste once age has rubbed off the rough edges. My general rule is, if I like it rough and ready, then I can look forward to it after six months. So for your local shop-rolled, hit them right then and there. If you find one you like a lot, stash a box now and look forward to how much better it will smoke next September.
