I want to move to New Mexico but I cannot stand high and wet humidity.
What city in NM should I move to?2
Any of them. Of, course you might want to define what a "city" is to you. I consider New Mexico to have one urban Metro area plus about 2-3 other small cities.

Someone once said a city is a place that has an Apple Store.
During the monsoon season in the mountains, there can be rain and humidity at any time. I would say the further south and especially west you travel in this state, the drier the climate becomes. Lordsburg will be drier, say, than Clovis.
I don't know what "high humidity" means, but there's no humidity anywhere in NM. The whole state is on the extreme end of dryness. It's just one subset of a large ecosystem of dryness that's part of the Chihuahuan and Sonoran deserts that stretch through NM, AZ, UT, NV, eastern CA. Basically everything west of the Rockies and east of the Sierras is desert and it's all dry.

I am not so sure I would apply that classification to the Idaho panhandle though.

Most certainly not. The Idaho panhandle is very humid. If you look at a geologic map of the country, that region appears to be well outside of the desert zones.
As an aside, I was real suprised at the humidity the first time I went there. I drove west from Lolo Pass on Hwy 12, a route which steadily descends over the next 60 miles. Those lower elevations were so humid it was like a jungle. I felt like it almost could be classified as a rainforest in the areas down by where the Clearwater and Selway merge.
