Assuming you plan on smoking regularly, very little "transfer of flavors" can or will occur between your infused cigars. Especially if you leave all your cigars in their cello keeping all your infused cigars should pose no problems.

When you place infused cigars together with "regular" sticks after period of several months some of the oils may transfer, but it is much more noticeable because they had no flavors to begin with.

With regards to the first point, many of us prefer our humidity between 60-65%. Also, no hygrometer is 100% accurate, even scientific instruments have a variance of 2-4%.

Not at all

I just thought they would make the point that I wanted to argue

I've read in a place or two that an infused cigar can 'contaminate' a humidor, and the other cigars in it. 'Contaminate', meaning making the humidor smell funny and giving the other cigars a bad taste.

That is true, which is why I keep them in a completely separate humidor from my traditional cigars. Everytime I open my infused humi it let's out a very strong aroma.
