If it came from decent B&M, smoke it. No need for it to sit. Different story coming from a big-box internet retailer where the sticks are often shipped wet and then subjected to varying conditions in transit.

Coincidentally, I had a VSG last night. Not sure of size - RG between rob and corona - maybe 5 inches and change. Anyway, it was very good - perfect construction until last 2 inches where it got pretty wonky. Flavors good, but a little muted. I think all those I had in the past were smaller RG - I'll seek out others, but only in the PC, corona, lancero - type sizes.
