Okay, yeah, I know there's no way to completely resurrect a stale
cigar (and FWIW, it's not mine), but a fellow I know has a few several
month old stogies that hasn't been stored properly. Not that one
couldn't burn it as is, but what can be done to bring an old cigar
back to something approaching freshness?

Depending on how dry the wrapper got while it was in non-storage, they may
not be salvageable. If they're cheap cigars, I'd use 'em for fertilizer. If
they are higher quality, the best thing to do is put them at the bottom of a
good, nearly-full, activated humidor and be patient. After a few weeks at
the bottom, relocate them to the middle. A few weeks after that, move them
to the top. After another month or so they may be back to life, but I
wouldn't count on them being as flavorful as they should be. I've stored
some of mine that have gotten dry for a year or more and had some good luck.
