Default A story and a question

So I went to an auction this weekend.. apparently a cigar shop owner had passed away and they were auctioning off all his stock and accessories. So I picked up what looks like about 6k worth of cigars for about 400 bucks. 8 boxes of arturo fuente (royal salute, various long fillers, etc).. A few boxes of Henry Clay, Royal Jamaica, and some Don Diego. The boxes had been left in a garage for about 6 moths or so without humidity. So.. I figured they would be crap. But I opened the boxes of AF and they were in pretty good shape.. just a little dry. Best part was, every cigar in every box had seriously yellowed cello. So they were well aged cigars. I was stunned. I wound up with about 1000 cigars for under a dollar each. The AFs were the real find. Totally smokeable aged cigars. They are a tad dry though. Just a tad. Any tips for re-seasoning the cigars? I have them all in my humidor now resting at 68%. Should I remove them from the cello? Or should I just leave them as they are? All the boxes are in the humidor with the lids cracked. Should I do more? Also.. how long should I let them rest? A couple months?

They auction house has about 400 pretty high quality pipes and more cigars to bring to auction in about 2 weeks. They do internet bidding.. if you are interested let me know and I can send you a link.

Here is a pic :-)
