I got a couple of sticks today from this guy at work who had a ton of cigars in a couple of humidors but hadn't exactly been upkeeping the humidor in a while. Needless to say the cigars seem a little dried out. I told him I'd take them home and see if I could bring them back to life.

The only thing I've seen to do is put them in a ziploc bag with half of a paper towel slightly damp with distilled water and leave them alone for a few days. The sticks are still in their wrappers and everything. Does this seem like the thing to do?
