Humidity should be higher at the top of the cooler since water vapor is lighter than atmospheric air.

Sorry, I had it reversed!

That would be the reason my hygrometer is kept at the top of my cooler!!

While this may be true -- the cigars are overhumidified -- this should not result in higher overall RH in the coolidor, at least not for very long.

If the beads are working correctly they should absorb the excess moisture (until the beads become saturated, but then you should be able to tell when the beads are saturated).
