Try putting one in a ziplock bag overnight with a leaf of lettuce
My tip was put several in a ziplock with an apples slice. Inflate the ziplock by blowing into it right before closing it. Leave it a day or two, no more.

The natural oils in the tobacco leaf has probably already evaporated off. The flavor and texture of the leaf is severely altered.
You can try to make them moist again over time in a humidor or tupperdore but they won't be the same as they were before.
Check the Cohiba for being fake and if it is, throw it out, it's full of floor sweepings. Throw out those Gurkhas too, they're trash.
Sad to see those delciious Oliva and CAO beauties (Italia and Brazilia) go out this way. And the Tempus... and brick house..
ugh I'm cringing looking at this. Are my eyes deceiving me or do you have some my fathers in there?
ETA: and throw any out that have beetle holes. you def dont wanna smoke that shite.
You like Mx2s? I had one today. Don't care for it in the slightest
Good stuff, rmnldr.
The Oliva collection is my favorite, as you can probably see, and one of the primary reasons I wanted to try a revival of sorts.
Don't have any My Father's right now. You may be seeing a La Gloria Cuban Serie R and a La Aroma de Cuba that have similar labels. Both pretty good cigars, IMO.
The box press MX2 is the only version I've tried, and I've found I'm not a fan of box presses in general. I do love the "look" of the MX2, though.

Ironically enough, it was around 2008 or 2009 when I initially had the idea to start my cigar collection, because I wanted to be able to pass them out to friends after TSIO games and was tired of being handed shitty cigars by other people.

Have you had the Brick House Connecticut yet? I actually started a thread about these on the SEC-OT Board. That's as good of a cigar as I've had for the price. I love Brick House. Found them by complete accident several years ago.

Don't waste your time. Those sticks are dry and done.

Slowly raise the Rh in the humidore you store them in, if you do it too fast they will split.

No but I’d like to try it.
I’ll have to check to see what my local shop has when this crap blows over

Place them in a Tupperware container with a few boveda 75% RH for a few days.
If they come back to life somewhat, then swap out the 75% RH to 72% (since you’re in CO).
I keep my humidor with the 69% RH boveda packs, and my Cuban cigar humidor with the 65% RH packs.
Since you show signs of beetles, you might wanna freeze your cigars to kill any that might still be lurking.
1. Double zip lock bag your cigars. Get as most air out of you can.
2. Put the cigars in the FRIDGE for 24 hrs.
3. Move cigars from fridge to FREEZER for 3 days.
4. Move cigars from freezer back to FRIDGE for 24 hrs.
5. Move cigars from fridge and sit them on the counter, or dresser for 24 hrs.
6. Then put them back in your humidor.

You may be able to revive some. Over humidify - you can actually do this right outside if you’re in Southern Louisiana. You can also use a wet sponge inside a ziplock bag or small cooler. just be sure no water touches the cigars. After a few weeks, put in to a regular humidor. They’ll still never be perfect but ‘smoke em if you’ve got em’.

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.

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.
Or, you could just bring them down here to NOLA and stash them in my shed for the summer. The humidity will be cranked for a long while, for real.

Get cigar beads of different RH values. Start at like 50%. Let them acclimate to that over a week or two, then up the charge to 55%. Repeat until they reach your desired storage RH.
You also could just throw them in your humidor but you risk ripping the wrapper as the insides expand.
