the "restoration" of a cigar?

[RevSmoke]

I have taken cigars and put them in a sealed Rubbermaid/Tupperware container with a sponge soaked in distilled water. Can you get the humidity back up to make it smokable? Yes!

Now, if it has seriously dried out to the point of crunchy/crispy, I have found that the will not be quite the same in regard to flavor.

On the same principle, you can eat food that has obviously been in the freezer too long - there is frost on the outside of it (not yet freezer burned), but it isn't the same as if it were fresh or not in the freezer for too long.
