Wow Tom Lehrer hell of a reference. I used to listen to him on reel to reel at my cabin when I was a kid.

Good point about environmental RH - it's an average of (I think) around 60-65 here so it sounds like it's probably not doing too much damage to keep them out for a few days...

That's good news - I'll stop worrying now!

Thanks for all the responses,

Very true. Also depends on the cigar; some seem to be more hardy than others. A nice oily wrapper tends to last longer, in my opinion.

I'll bet you're humming one of his tunes as you read this. Perhaps National Brotherhood Week or the Vatican Rag?
