Dry boxing?

I've not tried this because I haven't had the need, but with the ambient RH that high, perhaps a small humidor (good seal) and a couple of those small silica gel humidity absorbers would make a nice dry box?

Just did a quick search and found these:

I honestly have no idea how quickly they would suck the humidity out of a cigar, but instead of leaving in there over night, if it works too quickly maybe just leave it in there a few hours. Might take some experimenting.

Seems like building a separate 60% humidor wouldn't really dry box them and stabilize them quick enough to get the "overnight" dry box effect.
