Not sure what the RH was before I got the new beads. I suspect you're right about waiting longer to let the cigars dry out more.

I have tested for leaks, and even placed them into a tightly sealed Tupperware and get the same result. I suspect the beads just need more time to a word excess humidity.

Thanks to everyone for your suggestions and advice.
