Dry Cigars

[mosesbotbol]

If you thought they smoked fine outside of them falling apart, you can try rinsing the outside of the cigar before cutting if you don't want to wait it out. There's a thread on that somewhere on this site. Even on humid cigars, rinsing changes the taste and generally for more complex, less bitey cigar.

The rest, well, it just take time. Two weeks for them to be humid, perhaps longer to really be like they were in there for a while.

That was pretty much the case...it was mainly the wrapper. I'll look into rinsing...thanks for the tip!!

Try just misting the wrapper with a spray bottle. I use the one I have for moistening my beads. A few spritzes and then wipe the wrapper with your finger to spread the water beads evenly. This will work if only the wrapper is dry. But if the binder/filler still taste dried out, then rehumidify in your humidor.
