Can I rehumidify dried out cigars?. You can do whatever you set your mind to.
Really? Yes. You can rehumidify cigars that have gone dry. The key to rehumidifying dry cigars is to take the process very slowly. Many people try to 'quick-fix' the situation by over humidifying them in 80-90% humidity, causing the cigar to soak in the humidity too quickly and rupture. It is crucial that this process be a slow one. Start with a 60% environment for a few days, followed by 65% for a few more days, and then finally let it rest at 70% for another few days. The whole process should take at least 2 weeks for the cigar to be ready. Cigars that have been dry for a month or less are a perfect candidate for this. Cigars that have been dry for much longer than this can be problematic because their oils have dried out as well. These cigars can be rehumidified, but they may taste harsh. However, if you're lucky, they may taste just fine!
