56% is not bad at all. They may have been through some variances, but steady 56% is not unsmokable. Try one of the sticks that you know the taste and compare. Dishes of water and cigars dont mix. That will shoot the rh up dramatically and lead to damage. Go slow, if you have 65% beads use them but with only a small amount(25-30%) moistened. Give it at least two weeks before you add more moisture.
