I had responded to another post about Parodi Cigars that are "fire-cured" or "dry-cured." Yes, tobacco is a natural product that will eventually dry out after long enough period of time. However, due to the denseness of these type cigars, they are hailed as remaining smokeable without humidification long after ordinary cigars would be much too dry to smoke. At one time ('bout a million years ago) it was suggested you could freeze them indefinitely and after lighting and taking just a few puffs, they would moisten or "freshen-up." Personally, I never cared for them too much because of the tendency for tars and oils to accumulate in the last 1/2 to 1/3 of the length. I also never put the "freeze-um and forget-um" or disregarding humidification to the test. On the other hand, if I were in a situation where they were the only cigars available to smoke, I might view them in the same manner as an Opus X!
