So, newbies and good smokes don't go together?

Non-Cubans don't really need any age. As mentioned, they're pre-aged.

Cubans tend to need age, because they're rolled fresh. Many do stand up fresh though. H. Upmann Coronas Major and Magnum 50 are very good fresh as are the Partagas Serie D No. 4 and Bolivar Petite Coronas (well, any Bolivar will blow your head apart at any time of its life). The solution to the noob's entrance to Cubans is to buy them aged. I'm a Cuban noob with half a Vinotemp full of Cubans, but I own very few fresh cigars. I bought them aged and acquired them aged from the collections of other BOTLs. Most of my fresh Cuban cigars are ones that are good fresh anyway.
