I think you are referring to aging and not resting. Usually, as Peter said, any time you receive cigars many/most people put them down for few weeks. Aging is all speculation and a crap shoot on both ends. Though IMHO, CC's would benefit more from aging and I wouldn't personally put NC's down long term. By long term I mean 5-10 years.

If it's not smoking good now really no reason to smoke more, so people take their chances and revisit 6 months - 1 year down the road.
