I say I "think" 2 or 3 months because that's when I had the cooler stabilized. We could've probably smoked some then, but waited about a year for no particular reason.
Good luck. Once those oils dissipate, the cigars won't be anything near what they once were. IMO you shouldn't even bother.

I once got a box of Monte #2 close to a year late. Vendor told me to keep it. I let it sit a few months and they were good to go. Never hurts to try if they are really worth it.

True, while I tend to agree with Mark that that they are probably shot, one has nothing to lose here but a few more months.
I wouldn't get my hopes up though as California's high desert is not known for being kind to anything that needs water or even just humidity to survive, whereas the usual suspects, the postal route of their packages and the ISC warehouses for entry into this country are all in more humid climates.
not likely worth the effort.

If it really is bone dry.........it’s done.......no saving it.
