A neighbor of mine came over today for a New Year's drink. In the course of the evening, she asked if I wanted a CC. She said that they had belonged to her brother at one time, but he had abandoned them (long story) along with many other things, and she had rescued them before they would have been tossed out. I asked to see them, and she came back with a pretty nice humi, filled with about 25 Cohibas and roughly 15 Punch, but it hadn't been maintained many, many in months. We lit a couple of the Cohibas up. They seemed a bit dry, but otherwise smoked well and tasted pretty good. Can these be revived? I sent her to my Masonic Brother at the local B&M for a Humi-Disc, Digital Hygrometer and some help. Any thoughts?
