Is there any hope for these?

[Herf N Turf]

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.

[Pugsley]

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.

I don't think I've smoked 3 cigars in the last 5 years, so I'll just puff on my pipe and check them every few weeks.

Since you forgot about these for years and hardly ever smoke cigars, why not give them to someone who
1. Does smoke cigars
2. Is willing to give them the TLC they need
3. Has the patience to bring them back to life and
4. Is willing to risk all that work with the possibility they're not any good?

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?

[Emperor Zurg]

Well either that or you could give them to someone who enjoys smoking dog rockets.
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.

Rather sentimental. I see cremation in their future regardless the route they take.

[Pugsley]

Since I would probably forget about these again and just end up throwing them away, I'm passing them on to Rocket Scientologist, (Brad), to try reviving them. Good luck with them.

[Indyhp]

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?

[Rocket Scientologist]

I will do my best.
