Joeysmoke Posted September 16, 2020 Posted September 16, 2020 Hi, all! Hope you and yours are well. Long story short - a shipment of non-Cuban cigars I ordered in mid March have arrived. Yes, 6 months. Reputable online retailer, packed tight with a 69% boveda that's now dry. So let's assume the humidifier lasted 2 of the 6 months in tight.... How long would you rehab these? I plan on isolating them in an empty humidor and getting a baseline RH% and then adding a slightly higher value Boveda for at least two weeks or until they stabilize and then increasing as needed to between 65-69%. Does this sound reasonable? Has anyone had experience? Thanks a lot for your time!
zigarrenziggy Posted September 16, 2020 Posted September 16, 2020 Honestly, cigars are probably more resilient than we give them credit for. I'd throw a 65% Boveda in with them and let them sit for 60-90 days and you'll more than likely be fine. Depending on how many you received, you could test one every couple of weeks. Other than that, I don't see any issue just throwing in the right Boveda from the start. This is what I would do, but I am by no means an expert. I'm sure others have different opinions 1
MrBirdman Posted September 16, 2020 Posted September 16, 2020 I agree with @zigarrenziggy, though if they are particularly dry I would start out with a 62% or even 58%. 1
