Jeez, Joe. We're all elitist fly fishers here. Here I thought you were
asking how to do it *RIGHT*! Why don't you just dunk 'em in the toliet a few
times and hang 'em on the back clothesline. ;-)

I feel the need to reiterate - they're not my cigars (and a dunking in
the toilet could quite possibly be an improvement.) I do plan to
forward the slow re-humidification process to their rightful owner,
and they may do with that what they wish.

Me, the minor degradation of quality over a few months doesn't bother
me so much on the occasions I find an old one in the vest long after a
past trip. The smoking of the first inch seems to add enough H2O
through the shaft to prevent an outright inferno, though the taste
tapers off sooner than with a fresh one.

Not sure where I got wind of the paper-towel-in-the-microwave idea.
Then again, it may have been for stale biscuits.

(who loves ya, Joe?)

Not many people, but I know I can count on you. :-)
