OK. Now that we have debated the true lineage and pedigree of these sticks ad nauseum, lets get back to the actual question at hand...Can you save these cigars?
Lets look at the facts presented:
-five years out of a humidor
-sitting in an air conditioned office
-under a stack of dry newsapers
All moisture is gone. Oils are gone. Yes, you can reconstitute these. Did you know you can actually reconstitute a tree from wood chips. It's called carboard. Same thing here and about the same flavor profile.
No matter what they were or where they are from, they will never be the same. We have all tried it. We all know the results. Sorry dude.
