absolutely just buy enough that you can have a spare set to replace the packs in your humidor when they get dry or saturated. They are rechargeable and if used properly will last a long time. Use only distilled water for anything that goes in your humidors

Yes you can. Someone here made a rehydration station a while back with a step by step process on how to make them and what supplies you'll need. I have to try and find that thread, it's been a while since I've seen it pop up.

Simple enough I do it all the time. If dried out place in a piece of Tupperware or jar that will hold a tight seal. Add a rag dampened with distilled water or use a jigger or small cup to provide the moisture. Don't let the Boveda get wet, don't let them touch actual water or they will get crusty. Give them a couple of days and the humidity generated by the rag or standing water in the bowl will re-humidify the Bovedas.

If too wet go to Hobby lobby and pick up some desiccant beads in the flower preservation section. There again place the desiccant and Bovedas in a well sealed container and allow the desiccant to pull the extra water out of the Bovedas. Do Not Use Scented desiccant. The desiccant can be recharged in the oven. This is how I do it, there are many ways to do the same thing.

65% Bovedas are a good idea.
remember that new cigars can be too moist, so be aware when you introduce new sticks you will have an upturn.
maybe use one humi to dry down new stock. if they are in cello it can take months.
OR,open the foot of the cello and leave them on a dresser for a couple of weeks,checking occasionally.

1504213600836744024452.jpg seems to be doing a little better. Maybe i should of let it sit out another day. Doesn't seen to want to go out as easily, still needs more puffing on than normal but still has that terrible uneven ash

Just enjoy. As long as they burn and don't become a mass of mold they are smokeable. As you get more experience you can worry about the fine points.
