A lot of vendors will ship wet in, what I guess, is an effort to make sure they don't dry out in transit.

IMHO the best thing to do is to leave them in your humi and let them slowly acclimate as going from dry to wet or wet to dry really rapidly can cause cracked wrappers and other burn problems.

Try draw testing your smokes before lighting them. If you pull it out, clip it and it doesn't draw put it back in the humi or dry box for a day or two.
