Your cigars should be kept in an environment where the humidity and temperature are controlled at all times. For most people that is a chest type humidor. The standard recommended storage rates are 70/70. 70 degrees at 70% humidity. If you ask 10 different cigar smokers you are likely to get 10 different answers on the humidity rate and how it is maintained. For me 70% is to much for almost all brands. My "sweet " spot is is more like 67%. Use a digital hygrometer.( or two...) There are economical 110v humidifier systems that will fit in a 200 count humidor that monitor the levels every 30 seconds and adjust if necessary You only add distilled water about every two weeks. It will take some time to get it adjusted. Do not let them dry out... there is no fix for that.
