You know, these were a $25 box of small cigars for short smokes so I didn't even call JR. I keep the little SBN cedar box in a quarrantine cooler and when I grab one to smoke, I just dust off the fuzz and light her up.
If these were a box of Explendidos or something like that, and they had been in my possession for a while, I'd probably 1) dust off each stick far away from my coolers/humis, 2) let them dry out a bit, 3) put them back in the box, put the box in a ziploc and then the ziploc'd box back in a coolerdor.
