Using cigar humidors to restore dry cigars

By admin on February 3rd, 2011

Many people inquire if they can reconstruct their dried out out cigars. If the wrapper of the cigar hasn’t unraveled or cracked significantly then it can definitely be reconstructed. You necessitate to keep in mind however, that once a cigar has dried out significantly, the flavor has most probable changed and it will not taste the same is it would have originally. There are a few ways to convey your cigars back to life. I’ll depict them from my loved to least loved methods

The first is to use a cigar humidor. Make bound that your humidor is not fully born down, otherwise you will ruin your cigars rather than salvage them! You should get down with humidity levels well under 60%. If the humidor is completely adust, append some water to the humidifier to slowly append humidity to the box. Place your cigars in the humidor and close it. After a several days you can go ahead and fully charge the humidor. This will give your cigars the bit-by-bit humidification that they necessitate

If you don’t have a loose humidor, you could use a plastic container instead. Place a hygrometer and humidifier in the container along with your adust cigars. Add a little bit of water to the humidifier and close the container. For the next couple of days, you should check up on the hygrometer scanning every 8-12 hours and keep appending water to the humidifier so that the humidity gradually increases up to 70%. Once it reaches 70% monitor the levels daily and go forth your cigars in there for the next couple of weeks. Then transfer them over to your humidor

Another option is to happen a wet place much as a cellar and place your cigar box in there. Every few days you should go into the cellar and revolve your cigars about a quarter turn. Doing this for 3 weeks will be enough to give the cigars two afloat rotations and be evenly humidified. Make bound you monitor the wetity levels in the cellar though…you don’t desire it to be too wet

Using a Ziploc bag method is also a convenient way. Puncture a Ziploc bag with little holes and then place your cigars in it and seal it. Then place that bag in a larger, non-punctured one. Dampen a sponge and place the sponge in the second, non-punctured bag and seal it. Again, the idea is to slowly humidify your cigars so that you don’t inadvertently ruin them. Every couple of days, revolve your cigars so they are evenly humidified. After a couple of weeks, you can set them in a fully born down humidor

Finally, the easiest but least accurate option is to dampen a towel and wrap the cigar box in that towel. Leave it for a couple of weeks and that should do the trick!

While there are other ways to salvage your cigars, these are the methods that I have used successfully in the past. Good luck!
