Should I buy cigars kept at 55% RH?

You can look to see if the cigars themselves look dry. Gently squeeze the cigar to see if you heard a lot of "crunching", much like you would hear if you crushed a dry leaf. If you can, inspect the foot. if the tobacco looks dry, it probably is. If you can feel the foot, see if that feels dry as well. If your cigar "passes" then go ahead an buy it.

What you could also do is an experiment. Buy two cigars from them. place these in your humi. after one week check to see if there is any wrapper splitting, etc. SMoke this one and see if you like it. Leave the other one in there for 2-3 more weeks, making sure to check to see if the wrapper has split at all. If you see that one or both of these become re-hydrated without splitting, and they smoke well, then I dont see why you cant buy from them- it just might take a while.

You can also buy a stick from them and smoke it. See if you enjoy the cigar. If you do, then no harm, no foul.
