Dry cigars

[ashauler]

If they were dry for a long period of time and all the oils have gone away, the flavor will likely be very muted. Raise the RH of the sticks very slowly, be patient, and give one a shot.
Personally, I wouldn't bother with a separate baggie while they are re-hydrating; I'd just bury the bastards in the cooler and forget about 'em for 2-3 months.

So just checked em after going all night in the baggie. RH is raised to 62 which is hopeful. I may just do what your saying ash and throw em in the humi. I wasnt sure if that was a good idea

Well, YMMV, but as long as there isn't any evidence of beetle activity that's what I'd do.

Yep, what Jamie said. I'd put them in a separate ziplock (closed, which will help keep the re-humidification slow) in the bottom of the coolidor/humidor and forget about them. Some day you'll fire one up and wonder why it has little/no taste.

What kind of cigars are they?

I wonder how dry a stick must be before it loses flavor. I guess Ill find out lol. They are cohiba

If they are "Cohiba" and your friend mishandled them (e.g. let them dry out) - forget about losing its flavor, chances are they are something that probably was not good to smoke even on its best day...

im gonna keep my fingers crossed for a few months. Left them in basically 68RH for a few days and now they are in the humi.
