Aging does make a different, but It really depends on the brand. Some NC are better if smoked right out of the box, while others may need to sit in your humidor for several weeks or months. Some may increase in pure flavor while others may lose their flavor all together.
On the other hand, the CC's I have tried were great with some age on them, but there are a few that taste really good right out of the box. CC's are more forgiving if aged several years, or may not even reach their full potential until they are aged several years.
Your title is absolutely correct, you must experiment with various brands for aging until they meet YOUR taste. Try getting a few samples, smoke one and see how it taste to you. Then throw the rest in your humidor and try another one after a few months, then decide if its better or worst.
DATE YOUR SMOKES SO YOU WILL KNOW WHEN YOU PUT THEM IN YOUR HUMIDOR.
Document the difference in taste.......there you have it.
Just my
Hope this helps....good luck!
