I think im echoing some previous posts here but for a little reassurance, ill follow suit anyway. There's no doubt that cigars, if left in low humidity environments will lose not only moisture but the oils which provide flavor. Over time under humidified cigars will change in flavor. However, not all change is bad. Cigars can be rehumidified. And though you can never recover the original state of the cigar, sometimes I have found that the change in flavor isn't always as drastic as some would lead you to believe. Leave them in a 65% humi for a while and then after a few weeks bump them up to 70ish. You may be suprised at how well they smoke.
