Back in the 90's before the dot.com bust and at the height of conspicuous consumption I got a humidor and filled it with several expensive cigars including several Cohiba's. Never smoked much, the box sat neglected in a wall unit cabinet unattended for well over ten years. Opened it up, they are all still there but the humidistat was down South of 30 and the unwrapped cigars were pretty dry. Removed them all, doused the humidor in distilled water and have been soaking the spongy humid keeping thingdaily and then put them back in. Now the humidity is 70+. A couple of questions. Is it best to remove or leave the cellephane wrap in place - most of the cigars have them (not the Cohoba's). Also what about those in glass and tin tubes - remove or leave in place? Also how long until they should be in good smoking condition, if ever? Always heard that you can bring them back. I know taking them to a cigar shop and using their humidor is an option but I'm a very occasional smoker. Thanks for the input.
