I dont think it has anything to do with the cello. My guess is the cigars you received in the mail came to you over-humidified for some reason. Maybe they were a bit cool from being left out in a USPS truck the night before you got hem. Then maybe when you unpacked them they attracted a bit of extra moisture from air before you placed them in the humi. That's just my spur of the moment semi-educated wild guess. How high has the RH climbed vs your normal reading ?
Agree with the over-humi theory. Just got that chest of MOW's and you could feel the difference on the cedar trays in the box from the ones in my humi. Couldn't tell by the cigars but the wood was definitely damper. Always shoots up when I get a big batch.
I know the feeling JD. It's kinda mysterious sometimes when I get used to doing the same thing over and over but then, out of the blue, different results occur. But I'm almost certain that the cello has nothing do do with your mystery.

Same thing happening here with my last order. If not the weather / shipping conditions, maybe a change at the warehouse? My humi went from 67 - 72 percent. ?WHY? Dunno.

Interesting,............. I wonder if it's weather related during transit. Cool nights left in a truck. Warm days left in a truck. Just makes me wonder. Surely not though right? They are inside ziplocks for the most part. And surely the warehouse isn't too humid. You'd think they'd be on top of that sort of thing. This kind of mystery piques my interest.
It has been at least a week. I had removed some humidifiers, but it still is high, has not gone down a single point. And the heck of it is, there is no difference in the quality of the smoke. Not draw, feel or anything.

Have you replaced the battery in your hygrometer lately? Just a hunch. But sometimes they don't indicate weakness. They just give bad readings for a while and then you might see signs of weakness after that. Maybe you've ruled this out by trying multiple hygros in the same humi but I thought I'd mention it.
