I agree that you can't revive a cigar once it's dried out but does the local climate have any bearing on this? The reason I ask is because I live in Houston where the humidity is generally between 60-100% most of the year, no joke. I never have to spray my beads...ever.

I've always wondered what would happen if I just left a cigar out of the humidor for an extended period of time here.

Local humidity has a lot to do with it. I'm not sure specifically about Texas, but humidifiers are pretty much useless in the islands and many other areas because of local humidity.
Leaving it out of the humidor for a long time may allow it to come in contact with too much air and lose it's flavor, but that wouldn't be the humidity's fault. If they were in a box, I'd say they are likely revive-able. If your humidity never dropped below 60%, you have nothing to worry about.
