What he said... especially if you're smoking 25 sticks a week. You can't keep them long enough to even have them stabilize. You sure as hell can't "rehydrate" them in a couple of days, you should be keeping them in your humi at a stable temperature and RH for about 30 days before smoking them.
Didn't you say you just started smoking cigars about 6 weeks ago? 25 a week? Wow!
EDIT:
Ya know, the answer to your question can be found quickly by looking for it. It sounds like you jumped into the "hobby" a few weeks ago and have done no research on your own. I think you'd be much better served by looking for the answers before you blurt out the questions. There's a lot of information on this board, especially about proper storage and conditioning of cigars.
These kind of questions are why we tell newbies to read more and post less.
