Dried Cigars

[SFG75]

Just a quck question-how long do you think they've been drying out?

The most important thing to remember is that restoring a dried cigar takes time.

Step 1 - Take your cigars and put them in a non-humidified humidor. If this doesn't exist, then you can use a ziplock bag with some holes poked in it. You want to bring the cigars to a steady humidity level that is much less than 70%. Let them sit in this environment for about 2-3 days.

Step 2 - Take a fresh clean sponge and get it damp with distilled water. Place inside the zip-top bag and allow it to sit there, not touching any cigars, for at least one more week. This will slowly add humidity to the cigars at a rate that will prevent the wrapper from bursting.

Step 3 - After two weeks your cigars should start to look a lot healthier. Put them in your charged, maintained humidor at this point. Don't smoke them yet. Let them rest for while. I would suggest a month or two, just to make sure things are back to normal. Then you can feel free to smoke to your hearts content.

Hey thanks a lot!
But what if I don't have a humidor to let the cigars rest in? What are my other options?
I heard putting cigars in a ziplock bag and sticking them in the freezer works, but do i do that in this case after I remoisten?
