Humidity level too low?

This is really completely irrelevant. It does mean that if you leave your humidor open it will lose humidity, this is the case in most of the Western US 90% of the year. A humidor is meant to be a totally separate environment for your cigars. Once properly seasoned a humidor is setup and maintained it will function with little influence from outside Rh.
