Sounds like they are still too wet! Try "dry-boxing" (place them in dry humi for several days- no moisture source) a few for a week or so, then trying them. CI sticks are well known for shipping very wet, and taking some time to get back down to smoking humidity. Also, I find my sticks smoke much better between 60 and 65%, and actually prefer my humi to stay right around 62-63% range.

Good luck
