Carmoney Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 So I was just moving a pile of empty (or so I thought!) cigar boxes off a shelf in my office and I noticed one felt a little heavy. I opened it and found a whole row of 10 beautitul Puros Indios No. 2 Especial Maduros hidden under a thin piece of cedar in the bottom of the box. Apparently a couple years ago I put the cigars from that box into my humidor and somehow missed the bottom row. Of course, without proper humidification they are now bone dry and completely ruined. Man, what a waste. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krdshrk Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 Doh! That sucks. How long have they been there? Not gonna try to resuscitate them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carmoney Posted April 28, 2011 Author Share Posted April 28, 2011 Nah, they're way past the point of no return. After a couple years of sitting there with no humidification, they're toast. Literally. They're as hard as rocks and snap in half like twigs. I'd be afraid if I tried to light one up, it would burst into flames and singe my eyebrows.

krdshrk Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 I have a couple dried out cigars too. I guess the next time I go camping I'll toss 'em into the fire for a nice smell... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erik S. Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 I don't know anything about cigars, but won't they eventually rehydrate after a few (more) years in a good humidor? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bgary Posted May 8, 2011 Share Posted May 8, 2011 I don't know anything about cigars, but won't they eventually rehydrate after a few (more) years in a good humidor? Depends. Sometimes dry cigars can be gradually re-humdified so that they are soft again, but if they've been dried to the point that the oils are gone they'll probably burn "hot" and not taste very good.
