Did you put the cigars in right after you removed the DW? I'm not too familiar with the gel crystals, what rH are they supposed keep the rH at? I know that you said the cigars were a little dry, why? Where did you purchase them? Most sticks, from mail order especially, are going to come wetter than 65%!
If your humi holds a rH for three days empty, it should rise when you add the cigars.
As suggested before, I would put the cigars in Tupperware and season the humi. AND make sure of your seal around the glass. Calibrate your hygrometer.
Once your humi reads your desired rH for a week, then go ahead and put your cigars back in it.
