They are two different scenarios really.
"Properly" (ie: the way you like them) stored cigars typically retain (or close to retain) their RH for a few days if kept in a sealed travel humidor (I've found it to be around 3-4 days).
The reason for resting a box after receiving them is to give them time to acclimate to
your preferred RH (this takes approx. 3-4 weeks on avg).
I hope this helps
