Default Re: Humidity Question

Me personally and don't take my reply personal but if they are dry to the point that they crack and split when you pinch them down by the foot I would chuck them in the trash bag and bring them out to the curb. Even if you bring them back humidity wise they will not smoke how they were originally intended too and they will likely be lackluster at best. Certainly not good enough to warrant the time and effort it will take to bring them back up to smoking levels. I myself would rather put the time into finding a reasonably priced humidor and how to care for it and seeking out some nicely priced samplers to find what I like. Again not trying to be the Debbie Downer but I live by the motto that "Life is too short to smoke crappy cigars." Once dried out especially for that long they are likely to be disappointing. I live in NC and in the colder months it does get dry enough, especially if running heat to wreak havoc on uncared for sticks.

He speaks the truth. I wouldn't bother trying to revive a dried out cigar, but if you want to here's how...
