I wouldn't worry too much man. If you stored them at 70% and your buddy didn't just leave the humi wide open it should take at least three months or two to dip down in the 50's which is still a solid number for cigars. Just gradually step it up over the next 2 months. If was reading 50% or better you're in awesome shape so long as the temperature was kept in the 70's or colder. The cooler it is, the less humidity your cigars need to keep their oils. Even if it did dip down, don't worry, especially if your smokes were stored in their factory boxes.

Go slow and hope for the best.

I've bought a handful of estate sale neglected collections, and rarely have had a cigar from them that was worth the time.

6 months deployed, probably half of that was dry time, you might be ok.

But I'd say start slow, hold around 55-60 for a month or two before bringing it up to 65.

Low 30's.....you must live in a desert. Get any lower and they may spontaneously combust! If i leave mine out of humidor in A/C, i can go as low as 50. If i leave in garage, moss will grow on them.
