Yes, too much humidification. That's why your cigars are bulging, they are absorbing too much moisture. Most of us use beads which are two way humidifiers: when RH is low they give off humidity; when the RH is high they absorb it. Ditch the foam and get some beads or approved kitty litter which will keep your humidor in a more constant range. There are many threads which discuss this, look specifically for Catfishbulezz's thread about seasoning your humidor and the thread for good and bad kitty litter and order some (or beads which are the same thing but more expensive). For now remove all humidification and let your RH come down.
I would order some beads personally, and go through a proper seasoning process. I prefer 65%rh, and i think anything over 70% will lead to problems associated with too much humidity. Toss the foam disc in the trash. check out heartfelt beads. I will bump my seasoning thread as well. You need a stable environment. Start over from the beginning with a digital hyrgo and proper seasoning and you will be fine.
