What Was Your First Box Purchased?

After dry boxing for a week I can sort of smoke one, with 'only' 20 or so relights. Yep, I messed them up that badly!

It can be saved my friend, you just need to get them back to the proper humidity level. Gonna need to be patient, it's hard I know.

Sad but true. If you put them in your humidor (assuming it is holding proper humidity) they will eventually level out to the correct humidity. Put them in and let them sit for about 2-3 weeks and they should be good to go.

Thanks for the advice! They're in my humidor now. It's a small one, but it has a good seal, a freshly-calibrated digital hygrometer, and it's holding steady within +/- 1% at 65% with beads. Just have to be patient. Better go buy some that are ready to smoke!
