What can you tell by pinching a cigar? Whether it's humidified or not? I've always been told that a well humidified cigar will have some give to it.

Also, I have heard that nicely aged cigars will be more firm to the touch, even rock hard, and that is a sign of the tobacco being well aged. Is that correct, and if it is, how can you tell if you have nicely aged cigars, or cigars that are just dried out?
