dried out cigars?

I recently ordered some cigars from online and they sent them but did not send my humidor because it was on back order the cigars came in a zip locked bag with a water pillow in it i got the cigars on monday of this week they were shipped over 3 days and the humidor is not coming till thursday of this week then i need to season it do you guys think the cigars will be ok till i get the humidor then season it?

In a ziplock with a water pillow, they'll be fine for another week. After that, they might actually end up getting too moist due to the water pillow.

put em in a tupperware with pillow, no worries.

Cigars are very resilient and often spend several days in transit without damage so keeping them in a protective environment while you season the humidor which did not arrive with said cigars should keep them in more than adequate condition to smoke well whether it be before your humidor is seasoned or after that is done as it is a process which should not be rushed and may take several days and will ultimately provide a perfect environment to protect your cigars from underhumidification and not let them be subject to drying out from the low humidity often present in the air in the winter when homes in the northern part of the country need to run a furnace to keep the air warm even though it tends to dry the air out and lower relative humidity in the house.

The way that mikeespo and CoreyD post, when I imagine them speaking in real life I give them the voice of John Moschitta, Jr.

Yeah, what all these guys said. I actually keep several tupperware containers with overstock and they smoke just fine. As long as you keep some kind of humidification device with them (even in a plastic bag) you should be good. The plastic bag short term at least.

[chand]

Not you, weak_link did. What can I say, I'm easily amused by literary references.

I think they'll be fine. In the warmer, more humid, months I keep lots of my daily smokes and newer purchases outside of a humidor. I stil have several dozen cigars that I have not gotten into a humidor for the winter and I have been smoking from them just about every day and they are showing no signs of drying out.
