I was given a collection of ~40 cigars. I would classify the quality as Above Average (AVOs, R&J's, Padron 1926, etc). All cigars are in a humidor where the humidity is constant at b/t 65-70 and the temp is 65.
Question: under these conditions, will the cigars last for many many years? I'm not a huge cigar smoker so I'm wondering how much time I have to smoke these.
I am a certified and licensed expert in cigar disposal, and would like to offer you my services to solve your problem. It will take about a month for me to dispose of the cigars in quantity of 40 (forty), however not only I shall not charge you but also will pay for the shipment. Furthermore, after we carry out this mutually beneficial transaction, any cigars you buy or receive as gift in the future, you may store in your humidor in the physical conditions you mentioned, and once the number reaches 25, I'm ready to accept them under the same terms. I guarantee the proper disposal of your stogies, in proper place, manner, with the right drinks (ooops, I meant with the right liquid fuel), and with no adverse consequences to the respected CA community and environment. No animals or other living creatures will be hurt in the process.
Please do not hesitate to contact me for any further information or if you would like to ship them right away.
Yours truly...
-- Seriously, the humidor conditions you described are very close to the ones recommended by most people. You can store your cigars like that for many years, and the good ones will only get better.

If this is true, then they should put the cigars on auction and donate the proceeds to the veterans association.

At that temp and RH the cigars will stay good and age for many years.

Nothing lasts forever, and tobacco is a biodegradable product. It would be reasonable to expect be able to age them at least 50 years, some people still have a few pre-embargo cc's kicking around, but once they've hit about ten years or so, most of the oils have pretty well settled. If you have the patience of Job, and are going to keep them for a long time, get some nice clean strips of Spanish cedar and slip them between your different types, the oils can flavor the other cigars around them if they are in direct contact.
