Any tips for reviving dried out cigars?

I have a stash of about 75 cigars that I kept in storage for about a year after our most recent move. These were my "overstock" that I kept my primary humidor full with. Colorado is obviously a dry climate and was brutal on those cigars.
I've read you can revive them over time, but I'm just curious if any of you guys have any specific tricks. Most of them are pretty good cigars and decent brands. I don't want to just chunk them and start over.
Here's a pic of the haul, because threads are better with pics and I like to brag about my mediocre collection.
ETA: You can also see some clear damage from cigar beetles on a couple of them.

Ask Bill Clinton

Bill Clinton probably has a few ideas on this subject. Might get them a little too moist to smoke though

Embalming fluid.

I like cigars - not an expert, but have smoked many. When mine are dry I put water on my hands and then put the cigar in my hands and roll the water into the cigar / works for me but again I’m no expert

Cut them down the middle and take the insides out. Then fill it with northern lights. After this, smoke it. I might have left out a few steps but you get the point.

For older cigars that still have something in the tank, try putting them into your mouth for a bit and get the whole thing wet.
Repeat more quickly until the cigar is finished.

Stuff them with cocaine.

The cig pic makes me want to smoke. I want the red ribbon one.
Call a cigar shop and ask them.

I've been drinking and I read this as "Any tips for reviving dried out cougars?"

I believe those two things work well together.

They will draw moisture back so they need to be put in a humidifier for a long while. I would imagine you should crank the humidity too. It would be a shame to waste those sticks and there’s a lot of money there too.
If you don’t have extra humi space, I’d even try throwing them in something almost airtight with a sponge soaked with distilled water or some of those moisture packs. I wouldn’t try smoking them for a while though.

Fresh orange peel works for dried out weed.

This has kinda been my thought process. I’m working on re-seasoning the humidor they were in, and was planning on letting them sit for a couple months to see if they’d bounce back to life. Right now, they’re all very brittle, and I’d guess would be nearly unsmokable.
I have read that it should be a slower process to avoid damaging them by adding too much humidity at once after they’ve been dry for a while. What are your thoughts on that?

Don’t know...I’d go with what you read. At $8+ apiece it would be worth it.

Search online. Separating into small batches in separate airtight containers with moisture seems to be good. Turning the cigars regularly seems to be helpful. Good luck.
