It's the time of the year and the fact that your hummi is new. Give it some time. How long has it been sitting?

If its at 60, go ahead and fill it with your sticks. It will level out

Be sure to rotate your sticks. Also are some sticks cello on, cello off? You don't want to put too much humidity gel in there. How big is your humidor and how many sticks do you have in it?

Dry the too moist ones in a micrwave and them place them in your Humi.

Just make sure you nuke them on the defrost setting.

K-Y Jelly is the only humidification jar I know for a dry box.

Do you have a digital hygrometer, if not get one. Next you may just have to season your humi again. No need to rotate or worry about cello on or off.

Patience is key when raising your humidity, just let it happen slowly, to fast and you may end up with ruined sticks. One of those jars should work well for a desktop humi, I have four that I keep and that is all that is in all of them including 2 300 count. Opening often will affect your humidity also, so leave it closed until you rally need to open it.

Nothing wrong with a cigar at 60%. Many here prefer their smokes in the low 60s vs close to 70. They see to burn better and taste better.

Is you hygrometer calibrated and accurate? Look at the gars, touch them. See if they are the way you like them. That's more important than any analog or digital number...

The winter air is generally drier than summer air.

Put some extra humidity in there and take it out

in April.

I keep a small cap of water in my humis when winter

sets in, but don't need to refill them in summer.

Check each week. Use beads. Works great.
