Unknown Cigars From Estate Sale

I think you should just smoke one and see how they are

For 25 bucks it is worth the risk. I believe cigars are more resilient than some of us anal-types let on.

Great advice, just smoke them and see. It's not like you're trying to save a rare painting or anything, just some average cigars (from the ones pictured). If they suck, trash them and start filling up your new box

Cool, for $25, I would have taken the risk. Let us know how they turn out.

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.
