Basically it was dry outside, and way too wet on the inside. I noticed that the flavor was way off as well. I had smoked a Punch R.C. Rothschild earlier that night, noticed that the flavor was worse than a gas station stick, but I didn't get any spitting. Is my humidity to high in the Humi? How can I get my cigars back to normal, and how do I get them oily on the outside?

First of all - if you're storing flavored cigars with your others, you're going to have a bit of a problem. I'd suggest you separate the two (put the flavored stuff in a tupperware container - if you leave it in a cedar humidor, the flavors will infuse in the wood).

Second, check your humidity level - you may be over humidifying your cigars. I've found its best to be in the 65% range (and sometimes lower) for optimum smokeability - othterwise you get weird burns, tunneling, off-flavor, etc.
