My face when I find out that I have 20 more cigars...

I've been stocking up on cigars for my next 30 day 'hitch' in the Middle East. I like to have enough cigars for 2 per day when I'm out there: sometimes I smoke 2 per day; sometimes I smoke only one per day; once in awhile, I'll smoke 3 in a day; and some days I don't smoke at all, but the average is about 2 per day.

I won 40 cigars the other day on cigarbid.com and I had some here in the house already. This morning I decided to count them. I counted 32. My wife then asked me "What about the cigars in your top drawer?"

At some point, I ordered twenty Obsidian torpedos. I don't specifically recall ordering those cigars, but there they were. My wife dutifully put them—unopened—in the top drawer of my dresser when they arrived (which she estimates to be about 4 months ago).

This was the face I made upon discovering them...

Hope you can revive them after just being in a drawer for 4 months.

I'm sure it won't be a problem: they were double sealed, first of all. Secondly, the humidity here is almost never less than about 50%. For example, it's 63% right now.

The problem is when I get them to the Middle East. Where I work, it's between about 3-9% humidity all year round. Unfortunately, most of the time I smoke, I'm smoking a fairly dry cigar. In the course of an ~hour smoke time, the cigar will dry out. That is to say, I've had them start out well humidified but turn dry and crispy by the time I get to the last third.
