I've found certain cigars smoke best after being rested over a year. A perfect example, found by accident, is the Cain Ligero. A box was gifted to me several years ago. I tried a few and they were too harsh for me. So, I just left them in my "spare" humidor (which is fairly large) for a long - long - time. At least a year passed and I decided to try one again. Oddly, it smoked amazing. Now, this cigar is in the smoking rotation on a yearly cycle. My family smokes a great deal so we now have a box of these cigars resting untouched at all times.

With this realization a few years ago my family began resting certain cigars we thought had potential. We'd simply place them in our spare humidor and the just rested for month and month (years and years). Many cigars, especially moderately priced cigars, seem to smoke great with this process. To me are there are many sleeper cigars that can be found like this.
