Let them age, the Vandorens especially. I'm finding that the sweet spot for them is 2-3 years. I open the box (and all the @#$% flow packs, now), mark the date, and play them later. Breaking in a box of 4s from 2005 at the moment.

Of course, this doesn't help much if you switch what kind of reeds you play between now and then, as a dozen half-used boxes of 3.5s on my desk will attest.
