Wet meaning the tobacco is retaining a good amount of moisture. Tobacco leaves are moistened prior to being rolled into cigars. The tobacco, being hygroscopic, will "hold on" to this moisture. Many times this results in a poor smoke. "Drying" these cigars consists of gradually reducing the humidity via rest in your humidor. The moisture in your cigar will reach an equilibrium with your humidors RH%. Could take a week, could take a couple months.
I had a box of Punch Double Coronas that were unsmokeable for 6 months.
