re-smoked
The literal translation of "vuelto a humedecer" would be "re-moistened/moistened again"... However, I think it means lit and relit in this case (as in moistened by the lips of the smokers).
"The bar smelled of dry and re-smoked cigars"

And "vuelto a humedecer" also evokes a whiff of damp, stale air.

So, I might consider adding something just to get the feel right, for example:
"The bar, musty and damp, smelled of dry and re-smoked cigars..."
"The bar smelled of dry and re-smoked cigars"

"vuelto a humedecer" seems to refer to re-humidified or re-hydrated cigars, which is a process that is used to revitalize dried-out cigars that have remained unused over a period of time
