When I first set mine up I used the damp cloth as reccomended... mainly to remove anything left over during the mfg. process... I filled the humidifer and the humidity rose to about 85-90%... after a couple of days I opened the humidor for a few hours and let it air out a bit... I reclosed it and waited for another day before I put my cigars in... everything balanced out after this and the humidity holds steady right around 68-70%

I am not sure if that is the reason why your cigars burned unevenly, unless it was really saturated but then your humidity would have been off the charts... alot of cigars that i've found just simply do this & can get worse if they are not lit properly or corrected with your lighter while smoking

Also, I regularly rotate the cigars in my humi... i find that moving them closer/further from the humidification source will fix any problems if it seems that certain ones are either too dry or too wet... I also keep cedar dividers on the bottom & between the rows to let the air/humidity flow evenly throughout...
