As Zane said we need a little more information:
-- What kind of humidor?
-- How big is your humidor?
-- Is it seasoned already?
-- And most important, how OCD are you about this whole thing?
First, the "right" humidity is a matter of personal choice. Some people like sticks wet (>= 70% RH), some like them dry (<= 65% RH).
If you are going to be OCD over this then there are lots of things to do. You can search the threads here -- there is a lot of good information.
If you are not OCD, then season your humidor, get some 65% RH beads (Heartfelt or HCM), get a hygrometer and put it all together and sit back and have a cigar
The one thing I cannot stress enough (regardless of whether or not you are OCD):
take the time to properly season your humidor. Do not rush this -- give it at least a week. Preferably two weeks.
(BTW, I don't mean anything negative when I say "OCD"; some people obsess about their cigar storage (OCD) and some don't (not OCD). Don't make a big fuss over cigar storage unless you want to and enjoy making a big fuss over it. Cigars are very resilient.).
