Having an Issue Don't know how to resolve it

My advice is to just chill. No need to buy any more bling. Your wood is just over-humidified, which isn't a bad thing. Remember that below about 70*, the spanish cedar will release moisture and above it will absorb. Next time, don't make the sponges quite so wet and monitor the RH a bit more closely. Yes, eventually you will have to reseason.

Just use a ziplock. Put the hygrometer in the humidor and wait for it to come down to 69 or even a bit below. Then put the sticks in. When I get in new boxes, my RH often jumps a few degrees. Periodically put the hygrometer in the zipolock and it will tell you if you need to put the Boveda packs in the bag.

If any part of the humidor is damp, use a clean, lint-free cloth to pat. This will help prevent mold.
