Wow, two weeks? Never took me more than a couple of days. Needless to say, it is very well seasoned and probably didn't need the wipe down. I would take the beads out and load the cigars in. If still too high after another 24 hours, I would leave the lid open for a few hours. When the rh gets down to where you need the beads after being closed for a few days, introduce them to the humidor then.
