My dog got this box and tore through the package and left them in the rain on the yard for a day or 2 while I was out of town @6 months ago. I set them out for a week until the moisture seemed low enough to prevent mold. They have been sitting in a Tupperware with a 65 boveda since. This is the ugliest and first I smoked, great smoke, couldn't tell it was soggy at one time. I say this to encourage those that have had cigars soaked not to give up on them. @kcmontie have you tried any that you were trying to revive?

@JZBdano this came from a box that was sitting in customs for 6 months in the middle of summer. I thought they were probably ruined. But patience and about 8 months of rehabbing at 65 RH and they are smoking fantastic. So it is possible to revive both over and under humidified cigars. Time and patience.

@JZBdano i have. They are just coming around I slowly lowered the humidity. But most of the stuff was destroyed. I just isolated the boxes and would change the beads every week.
Mine weren't dripping wet but @1/2 the box was soft and spongy. I have had them loose until now. I think it's safe to box them and put them with in the humi. I still have 1/2 a box from 2014 so these will sit a while before I get back into them.

Thanks @boltman , I have some Lusis from @2002 that were left in my old desktop for @8 yrs and the one I smoked was just OK. A friend gave them to my dad and he stuck them in there not knowing it needed to be maintained. I gave them 6 months but need to revisit, it's been over a year.
