Question
i have had a box of 50 sweet swisher cigars for a long time,they are still in their sealed box,will they be ok to smoke
Gary,
The cigars are most likely pretty dry and may crack and/or burn very fast when you try to smoke them, but if you can put up with that they'll be ok. If you unwrap them and store them in a 70 degree, 70% relative humidity environment they will absorb moisture over time and will become much more smokeable.
Hope this helps.
Bill

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>
