Unknown Cigars From Estate Sale

They need to be in one of my humidors for a bit of time to get back to the proper humidity level, but the attempted humidor also had a good amount of Cuban Cohibas and Romeo y Julietas so for $25 was a steal!

Biggest question is, was the "humidor" properly maintained, and if not, how long have these cigars been neglected.

A critical question. The longer they have beenneglected, the less likely you will have a smokable cigar.

Provided, of course, they are authentic.

Probably no way to tell if they are (were) authentic anymore, and if they have not been stored properly it will not really matter...

As far as their condition, a lot also depends on where they've been kept. I see you're from Miami, so I assume these may have also been from the Florida area. You guys have higher humidity, so even if they weren't kept in an artificially humidified environment, they still may be fine.

If you leave a cigar out in open here in Nevada, you'll end up with a shrunken twig is short order. But it all depends on where you live and the ambient humidity.

Excellent point, Bill.
