thanks!

It depends on the ambient RH. I would not do this if there is a big difference between the RH you are storing your cigars at and the ambient RH... You do not want the RH to change too fast as that can cause the wrapper to crack.

Having said that, leaving them out for couple of days or dry-boxing them for a couple of days should be enough.

I was thinking of trying for a couple hours and see if that makes a difference before smoking without causing cracking damage.
