  • What should I do to properly handle these cigars?

    Additional Details

    A little over a month ago, I allowed my uncle to borrow my car while he was in town for his homecoming. Today I found an opened factor box of Padrón Series 3000 Maduro cigars. They are still in their plastic sleeves, and as I have said, have been in my car for a little over a month. I live in Ohio, so I know humidity will be a problem for the cigars. What would be the best procedure to follow, without having to buy an expensive humidor I wouldn't plan on using again, to prepare these cigars to be smoke?
