Cigars need to be kept at about 70 degrees, in an environment with a relative humidity of between 60 and 70 (some cigars smoke better "wet" at 70%, while others smoke better "dry" 60%).

If there is ANY leak (even an extremely miniscule leak) in the cigar tube, the interior of that tube will seek to reach the environmental humidity. So - if the tube is originally at 70%, and the exterior humidity is at 50% - the tube will reach 50% in fairly short order... It's best to store all cigars (even in a tube) in a properly humidified humidor...
Good catch. I completely missed the part about the fridge. cigars + fridge is a bad idea.
