Cigars/Broken Humidor

Expert: - 3/9/2011


Question
I just found out that the humidifier for my cigars seems to have stopped working.  The humidity was low and the cigars seem to be dry.  Are all these cigars a total loss or will they rehydrate with replacing a new humidifier?

Thanks

Answer
Just put in a new device and add water every week till the cigars rehydrate.
Also you can add 2 Boveda 72% right on top of the cigars, but if there are a lot of cigars put the Boveda's down one layer to help with the job and keep humidity perfect.
Should take just a few weeks in ideal conditions.

Enjoy
Mike
