I think you are ok with the cigars in the bag. I would start to season the humidor now. It takes time for the cedar to absorb the water. Assuming you are using a shot glass, you can leave the shot glass in there until you get your puck. I have always wiped my humidors down to make the process go faster. Just make sure you only wipe it down and do not saturate because you want warp and crack the wood. Actually, when I get a new humidor I usually wipe it down, seal it for a few hours then wipe it down again to make sure it has as much absorbtion as possible, but that is just me.

If you havent seasoned your humidor....that reading is normal. Also if you have a dial (analog) hygrometer....pitch it. Those things are severly inaccurate. Digital ios the way to go and you can get em for about 10 bucks. Salt test a digital and youre good to go. You should leave you hygrometer in the humi whilst seasoning it and wait until it holds steady 70% for a few day. After that youre good to go! Add your cigars a few at a time and remember empty space is a humidors enemy. The fuller you keep it the more constant you can get your humidity...a perfect excuse to buy more cigars

Your girlfriend has good taste. The Monte White is a great cigar.
