Al's probably right, but it's worth a shot. It costs nothing, but time. Put them in a zipper bag, along with an accurate hygrometer and purge as much air as you can. Leave them in there for 24 hrs to get a solid reading as to where they are. Try not to increase RH too quickly for reasons Donnie pointed out. Your goal is 1-2% a week.
Even after bringing the RH up to acceptable levels they may deliver all the flavor and enjoyment of smoking a rolled up page from the New York Times, but I have to try it. If they're ruined it's my own fault.
Since you forgot about these for years and hardly ever smoke cigars, why not give them to someone whoQuote:

And this is not me asking for them, numbers 3 and 4 do not apply to me.
How would I find a person with the saintly attributes you list?Quote:

There was someone on here a while back offering to buy any and all Gurkhas for $1 each. He'd prolly take 'em. :)
I'd prefer to pass them on to someone who will at least try to revive them, even if there's little hope for them.Quote:

If he admittedly doesn't have the patience for it, I'LL take them!! :)
Other than chucking the box in my cabinet humidor at 65%, how does one go about raising RH 1-2% per week, anyway?
I will do my best.
