All cigars dry up after a certain period of time if not cared for. Same law applies to Cuban cigars. Lets say you got a box of Cuban cigars, placed it in your house and went for a business trip. Once you come back, you realize that you forgot about your little beauties and when you run back to that secret place your find out that your Cuban cigars are literally dying.

Although you did place them in a humidor like a good boy, you didn't re-energize your humidor that is essential for your cigars to stay in good shape. You realize all you have is a bunch of dried out cigars. You begin to wonder if your cigars will every be smokable again.

Lucky for you, their are several ways of bringing your cigars back from the dead. The idea is to hydrate your cigars back to life. You have to be really careful here because too much moisture can definitely expand your cigars to the max. The worst case scenario is that you finally decided to rehydrate your Cuban cigars but it was just not good enough and your Cuban cigars are gone to a better place. See just like everything in life has an expiration date, so do Cuban cigars. Once you get them, smoke them and you should worry about it ever again. Or if you want to share it with your friends than go get a portable humidor and take it with you. Forgetting about Cuban cigars in this way is no excuse at all.

A fast way to get the right amount of moisture in your cigar is to put it in a plastic bag with some cedar linings out of a cigar box. You know those thin sheets on top of each cigar box, those cedar sheets. Leave the bag sealed for a few days and run a check to see how hydrated they've become. Don't get too excited as this is not the cure for Cuban cigars left in the dark for quite sometime, but this will definitely get the ball rolling.

If they are totally dried out, than don't worry. Try the method of using Tupperware container (Make sure the base of this container is flat) where you put some water at the bottom and place the cigar on top of cedar sticks. Make sure the water never touches the Cuban cigars or your precious beauties will be destroyed. Cuban cigars can stay fresh for up to 15 years so be patient when you are doing this process.

So get that humidor recharged and place that container sealed up in the humidor. This will bring your cigars back to life in four weeks or so. Keep an eye on your humidor because if its not charged properly it won't work. Give it the time and your cigars should be ready to smoke again.
