Default Cigar resurrection? (yo Tim!)

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

couldn't burn it as is, but what can be done to bring an old cigar
back to something approaching freshness?

Put the cigars ( works for loose tobacco as well), in an airtight box
( Tupperware) with some fresh potato peelings. Don*t let the peelings
touch the tobacco,place in a separate smaller but open container.
( Small bowl etc). This only takes a couple of hours to freshen dry
tobacco. Once you are satisfied they have been freshened enough,
simply remove the peelings.
