Let me first by saying Thanks in advance for any assistance, its greatly appreciated, second, I am new to the cigar world (about 9 months).
I recently received some cigars from a military friend who is deployed and his wife is doing everything for their move. They are putting things in storage until he returns so she called and asked if I wanted the cigars in his humidor, of course I said yes. (its been neglected since he left). Once I received them I realized they were dry and needed to be re-humified. I did the research on how to bring them back, purchased the Boveda packs, a Boveda humidor bag, and even a air tight tupperware container. I first started by calibrating my hygrometer with the Boveda calibration kit, put the sticks in the tupperdor, and started with a 62% pack, it stayed steady at 60% after 2 days and remained there for a couple of weeks. I then moved up to a 69% pack (local shop did not have 65% packs), The hygrometer no reads 58% and has been steady for 3 days. Will the humidity come up? Do I need to do something different? Are the sticks beyond saving?
Thanks again.
