Cigar Weekly

I live in the Pacific Northwest. I have a 100 ct humi. It's full. I have replaced the floral foam with a 4oz jar of CI gel (the blue stuff) a few weeks ago. My hygrometer is way off (always has been), but it looked to me like the gel stablized the humi well. I had a cigar yesterday and the draw was real open and it felt/smoked drier than I was comfortable with.

Is the 4oz gel cup too small for that humi? Should I have supplemented the floral foam instead of replacing it? Should I add another gel cup? I'm going to add the foam back in to get the humi up to humidity again, but looking for suggestions/explanations. Thanks.
