Cigars are slow movers. Panicking and trying to "fix" something is only going to cause more problems. Similarly, you're trying to create an environment for them, which is even slower. Putting water on a humidifying element doesn't suddenly add moisture to the air. That's a very slow process.

We need this post for Bill Clinton over on Cigar Pass (the infamous Humidor Problem thread...)
