Buy a "Humi-pillow" for a buck. Probably costs more than the cigar.

Sheesh, you just lost your cheap tag.

Poor man's humidor-

a block of Floral foam, as in the stuff FTD uses for their
arrangements
soak the foam in a solution of 90% distilled water and 10%glycerol
(in the laxative section of your local drug store) and let it drain to
get the excess liquid out. Wrap foam in a paper towel. Insert in
sealable plastic container, (tupperware, rubbermaid, etc). Make sure
to recharge the foam weekly and more importantly open the lid for an
hour or so each day to air things out. Your cigars will be decent
enough in a month or two.

When were relocating from Kansas, my daughter moved my humidor
containing several pre-embargo cubans from the "do not pack" pile to
the pack pile and forgot to put it back. By the time I got the humidor
back from storage and unpacked, it took me almost two years to nurse
those babies back to where I wanted them to be. Hope your friend
doesn't wait as long.
