I can always check the smokes to see if they're ready earlier, but that's what I've personally found it takes to get a new, wet cigar settled down and get all the barnyard and ammonia out of it.
I can move that along by taking a few out of the cello.

I'll Never Forget, Though, Scott, How Awesome Those Oliva Special G's I Got From You Were After You Had Rested Them For I Believe 1 Year? They Were A Totally Different, "Perfect" Smoke Compared To ROTT.
