I realize that you are just starting out and are enthusiastic about sharing what you have learned. But please do not speak about that which you do not know.

Placing very dry sticks in a bag with the drymistat gel will do more to quickly ruin his cigars than just about anything you can do. Very dry cigars need to be rehydrated slowly, placing them with a 60-70% source will lead to extensive damage. The previous posts lay out a reasonable method of doing this correctly.

That being said, the cigars may never recover. It depends on how dry they have become and how much of the oils remain in the leaves. There is nothing to lose trying to rehydrate.
