Question
Hi,

I have a couple of cigars in a humidor that I think have become stale/too hard to smoke.
Im not sure how they got this way; I have the humidity at the right level but there may have been a time a couple of months back where I let the interior get too dry.
Is it possible to bring these cigars back to life an dhave them be moist again?

If so, how do i go about doing that?

Thanks,

Avi

Answer
If humidity is correct and you have a digital hygrometer just put distilled water in each week till the cigars are fine.
I push the Boveda humidity pillow and that beefs up humdity and keeps everything perfect even if you forget to put water in for a few months.
Check for Boveda 72% for $4 each online, get 2 put them in and worry no longer. Still put water in once a month though...
