Got a few drops of water on some sticks ( Anejos DAMMIT!!!! ). I patted them dry with a cloth and have them dry boxed. Any other suggestions? Opinions or experience as to whether they are ruined?

They must be immediately thrown out. They have been contaminated with Dihydrogen Monoxide (H2O).

Each year, Dihydrogen Monoxide is a known causative component in many thousands of deaths and is a major contributor to millions upon millions of dollars in damage to property and the environment. Some of the known perils of Dihydrogen Monoxide are:

* Death due to accidental inhalation of DHMO, even in small quantities.
* Prolonged exposure to solid DHMO causes severe tissue damage.
* Excessive ingestion produces a number of unpleasant though not typically life-threatening side-effects.
* DHMO is a major component of acid rain.
* Gaseous DHMO can cause severe burns.
* Contributes to soil erosion.
* Leads to corrosion and oxidation of many metals.
* Contamination of electrical systems often causes short-circuits.
* Exposure decreases effectiveness of automobile brakes.
* Found in biopsies of pre-cancerous tumors and lesions.
* Given to vicious dogs involved in recent deadly attacks.
* Often associated with killer cyclones in the U.S. Midwest and elsewhere, and in hurricanes including deadly storms in Florida, New Orleans and other areas of the southeastern U.S.
* Thermal variations in DHMO are a suspected contributor to the El Nino weather effect.

What you may find surprising are some of the products and places where DHMO is used, but which for one reason or another, are not normally made part of public presentations on the dangers to the lives of our family members and friends. Among these startling uses are:

* as an additive to food products, including jarred baby food and baby formula, and even in many soups, carbonated beverages and supposedly "all-natural" fruit juices
* in cough medicines and other liquid pharmaceuticals,
* in spray-on oven cleaners,
* in shampoos, shaving creams, deodorants and numerous other bathroom products,
* in bathtub bubble products marketed to children,
* as a preservative in grocery store fresh produce sections,
* in the production of beer by all the major beer distributors,
* in the coffee available at major coffee houses in the US and abroad,
* in Formula One race cars, although its use is regulated by the Formula One Racing Commission, and
* as a target of ongoing NASA planetary and stellar research.

One of the most surprising facts recently revealed about Dihydrogen Monoxide contamination is in its use as a food and produce "decontaminant." Studies have shown that even after careful washing, food and produce that has been contaminated by DHMO remains tainted by DHMO.

As a public service to the membership, I personally will undertake the disposal of any sticks contaminated by this heinous chemical by burning them at high temperature. It's the least I can do.

Drybox 'em and keep an eye on the wrappers. Get some fruit pectin just in case.
 
Just what everyone else said. Remember that water isn't necessarily harmful to the cigar leaves. When they're rolling cigars they keep the leaves moist. I've even seen a few rollers spritz a bundle of leaves that wasn't wet enough. The danger with getting cigars wet is that they might come unraveled. I'd dry box them for a few days (depending on where you live), then stick them back in the humi. Just don't try to light them up wet or you'll start seeing cracks all over the place! As long as you don't see mold you are just fine.
 
Same happened to me and with the same cigar, I sent to a guy I know who takes care of these matters. I think his name was Local 669 but I am not sure.

If its just a little bit of water they will be fine, clean the extra water in the hummi and try to the water of the stick then put it away for another days smoking.
