stale cigars

[F.T. Pulver]

Hi All, new to the forums here, but have been lurking for a while. I was given 2 beautiful box of Montecristo No. 2 cigars which were brought back from cuba some time ago. However they are hard and appear stale , i was wondering if there was anything that i could do to these cigars to bring them back to life? any help would be appreciated.

PS anything short of buying a humidor as i usually buy my cigars 2 or 3 at a time, thank you

It depends on what you mean by "some time ago"

A few weeks, a few months, a few years? If you are going to try to make them smokeable the key is to do it slowly. Even if you don't want to buy a humidor I would suggest you get a hydrometer so you can see where your humdity levels are at in whatever environment you choose to create. I would make a tuppurdore. Too much humidity too fast will split the wrappers.
