To make a long story short, a buddy of mine gave me a humidor FULL of cigars that he let sit for about 6 months with no humidifier. Over the last four months I have been slowly trying to bring them back by puting them in a 65% humi. I smoked a couple this week and they arent bad, the wrappers are not dry anymore and none of the wrappers split. The fact that he stored them in a dank, cold basement may have been their saving grace. I wasnt going to even try but there were 75 high end NC's, and about 50 CC's, all had about 5-6 years of proper care and 6 months with no moisture. Ive heard several different ways to bring them back, but most advice was to let them sit with proper humitity as long as a couple years. I dont know if they will ever be what they once were but so far, so good. Good luck!!:ss
