hey all, newb to the cigar world here. I recently got back from Mexico and bought some fake Romeo Y Julietta's on the beach thinking they were legit but that's besides the point.
I got back to the states and reached out to a guy who I know smoked cigars and asked him if he had any tips for keeping them fresh without a humidor and he basically gave me his for nothing with 30 cigars in it already.
They're all extremely dry and I don't think it had been cared for in some time, I bought a cigar oasis excel (decided to go a size up for the inevitable upgrade I'll make at some point) and it should be here next week. Question is should I even keep the cigars he had in there in hopes they'll recover or should I just ditch them and clear out space in the humidor? It's holding at 57% RH right now according to the xikar hygrometer he had in it. should I recondition the humidor? Sorry for the long post but any help would be great!
