I call this scenario the “Found Treasure”. I recommend you first place the cigars in a zip lock bag with a humidity gauge and let them sit for about 2 days. Once you know what humidity level you are starting at you can determine what the safest way is to introduce humidity back into the cigars. If the cigars are starting at a level higher than 60% RH you can place them into a humidor that has relative humidity between 65% and 70% +/- 2%. If the cigars are at below 60% RH you MUST introduce humidity in stages. I have had great success introducing humidity in increments of 5% to 8% RH. The most important thing is to introduce humidity SLOWLY! Do not fill your humidification device completely. You want to use a very low water level (1/4 full). Place the cigars, humidification device and RH gauge into a zip lock bag. After a couple of days there should very little water in the humidification device. Keep the cigars in the bag for 2 to 3 days while monitoring the RH daily. After 2 to 3 days refill the humidification device to the same original low level (1/4 full). After 4 to 6 days the humidity should stabilize. Once the humidity has stabilized you are ready to fill the humidification device in ¼ increments this time ½ full and again using the time frame as the first step until you reach your desired RH level. Just a Friendly reminder: introduce humidity very slowly and of course only use distilled water. Good Luck! http://www.cigarsandnewsstand.com/Sorry for the delayed reply as we have been updating our IT Department.
The length of the ash suggests one or two things. If the cigar maintains a long ash it was rolled properly and in addition was rolled with tobacco of premium burning characteristics. Now, just because it is rolled properly with tobacco that has good burning qualities does NOT mean it will taste better on the palate. It might produce a slightly cooler smoke but it is a very minimal noticeable difference on the palate. I have had several cigars that taste great on the palate but do not hold a nice ash. In addition I have had several cigars that hold a great ash but don’t do anything for my palate.http://www.cigarsandnewsstand.com/
Just because a cigar has a high retail price does NOT mean it will offer an appealing taste to a large market of cigar aficionados. Higher prices for most Premium cigars are justified by the investment made from the manufacture. In the world of Premium cigars everyone involved is paid more to produce less quantity, but higher quality. Lets keep in mind that cigars are very subjective. What is important is that YOU enjoy your purchase and believe it was worth every penny of YOUR hard earned money. http://www.cigarsandnewsstand.com/
