Does the humidifier look like a plastic puck or stick with some sort of foam (often green, sometimes white) inside? Something like this:
If so, yes, put some water in it, be advised that it doesn't hold much.
If the humidor is wood, then yes, sure a few days with the humidifier in there alone won't hurt. If it's a plastic traveldor, then no need to wait, just stick everything in, but go easy on the humidification, plastic traveldors often seal well enough that a humidifier is more like an invitation to mold.
As for the cellophane on the cigars, I'd leave it on. It's porous, so it breathes, while still affording protection to your cigars from damage due to moving around and such.
The other humidifier pouch that you were describing to Bob - something like this?
or is it something more like this?
