I've heard that 1 week per percentage point of RH you want the cigar to move. If your humidor is at 65% and the cigar/s are at 69%, give them four weeks to acclimate. Put your new cigars in an airtight bag or container with a hygrometer and check it in a day to see where they stand. It's easier to just put them in your humidor and give them a few months and smoke some of your others that have been resting a spell......
