This is the update we promised when we published the original How To Save Dried Out Cigars video! For anyone looking to revive seemingly dead cigars, check out the original 2-3 minute video first for a quick example of the steps and process to rehydrate those dry cigars. You can see that here: • How to save dried out ...
This video is the one year update. How did they come out after the over humidifying process and some extended aging in the normal humidor? Check it out...

Just found around 30 old Cohibas that my dad got way back in 2001-02. They’re all super dry. RH in the neglected humidor that they’re housed in is around 55% right now. Don’t think it’s been opened in at least 15 years. Thanks for sharing your experiment! Going to try this over the next 6 months to a year and see how it goes!

Nice. Good to know the saving the cigar worked out.

In a comment in the first video you mention that, "we've typically seen about a 10-20% decline in quality of flavor". In this video it seems that that decline was around 5%. You guys seem to be one of the only resources out there that actually went through the process, which took months. Most people just say that the oils are gone and that old, dried cigars are ruined. So, based on your experience, what would you say outcome would be for someone starting out the process? I've put them in a tupperdore with an 84% Boveda. How long should I keep them at that humidity? When should I smoke one to see if the process is working? Any other tips or recommendations? I was about to throw the cigars in the trash before I saw your video. Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

We love to hear it! If it's an air-tight tupperware or container, change out the 84 boveda pack every couple of weeks. We've seen them last 2-3 weeks in most cases before needing a swap ( we have another video on reviving boveda packs that's worth a watch so you can get 3 and put them in rotation). The first time any of us used our process we let them stay in the container for a out 6 months, only opening to swap boveda packs and confirm the humidity (be sure to have a hydrometer to gauge the humidity level each time you open. This time when we did this video we actually all agreed they were wet and soft to the touch enough at only 3 months. Then, put them in the normal humidor with a regular 69 boveda pack for at least 3 months to bring them back to the proper level. We actually let them sit for a year to be extra cautious, but we all also have 100+ cigars ready to smoke across humidors at any given time, so we weren't in a rush. Honestly, letting them sit that extra 6-9 months is probably why we only noticed a 5% flavor loss, rather than the 10-20% loss we were used to seeing when we first tested the process. Good luck, and please share your experience and how it goes! We love hearing success stories, and viewers can always learn more if you find something we didn't mention that may be useful.
