I got back into cigars about 18 mos. ago after a 5 year hiatus. I had some Cifuentes Partagas 2005 Juli's and some 5Vegas red label toros and churchills that sat completely unhumidified for those 5 years. I stuck them in a rubberdor for a few months at 70%RH. Smoked some, bombed some and no one. I mean no one. complained. I had a couple of the Juli's and thought they were nice and mild. I gotta tell ya, the 5 year old 5Vegas' were FK'N AWESOME.

My advice: let em sit for a few months in proper humidity and try one. Like said earlier, you have nothing to lose!

That's the plan. We're going to bring the humi and the sticks up to 70 RH together so that it happens slowly enough that we won't split too many wrappers. We tried a couple last night, and they were pretty tasty.
