Cigars/Still Good?

Question
i found a box of white owl minis in my safe from about two years ago. i haven't smoked any yet they are all still wrapped in the wrappers. i wanted to check before i do smoke them if you think they are still any good? they are cheap enough to just buy more i just figured i would check and see since i don't know much about cigars.
thanks
Ray,
Most likely the cigars are pretty dry, but it won't hurt anything to go ahead and smoke a few and see how they are. Like you said they are pretty inexpensive, so they aren't worth the cost or trouble of trying to re-humidify them if they are too dry to smoke. They are made with homogenized wrapper and binder which holds moisture better than natural tobacco and they are individually sealed in cellophane, so they may be humid enough to stay together when you try them.

Expertise
I'm a fourth generation cigar maker and have spent 25+ years operating our factory as well as a mail order cigar company. I belong to cigar manufacturers associations as well as retail cigar associations so I'm usually up to date with current events relating to cigars. I've smoked the majority of brands on the market and would be happy to share my opinions of them with you. Since I live in the U.S. I have very little experience with Cuban cigars, but other than that I know a least a little bit about almost every brand of cigars on the market.
Experience
In addition to growing up in and now managing our cigar factory for 25+ years, I've spent time in many factories in Honduras, Nicaragua, The Dominican Republic and Mexico. BR>
