Did I hurt my sticks?

    No. I don't think that would hurt them. My buddy recently let his get low for a few weeks at about 52% and we even smoked a couple of them the day he discovered it and they seemed OK. You've done good by bringing them back slowly. They should be fine. I think the wintertime low humidity is hard on smaller humidors. I had to deploy a bunch of Bovedas in each of my small humidors a couple of weeks ago when things got dry. Although I mostly use Kitty Litter and gel jars, I still recommed Boveda humidity packets for keeping things on an even keel during the winter. Once the low humidity season is passed I'll be putting all my Bovedas in a ziplock bag to save them for when they are really needed.

    I had a rh drop in my smaller humi recently after a few weeks of cold dry winter air. I picked up a Boveda 75 at the B&M and it's brought everything back up nicely. I think part of the problem for me is that with head colds and cold weather I'm not opening/monitoring my humi as much as I should.

    Their fine just bring up your humidity slowly over a few days do they don't swell up.

    From time to time I think everybody has their humidors that will slip from what they want down to the 50's and since you have a time frame of only 2 weeks....you're fine. Remember that if you even order cigars online they ship from places that are freezing and can take up to 10 business days to get from the warehouse to your house...so relax and enjoy your cigars. You did a good thing by bringing them back to the % you want in a slower time frame...keeps bad things from happening like splitting and stuff.
