Question about walk in humidor....

I have always heard that mold on cigars only develops at humidity levels above 70%, don't know if the case is the same with plaster/drywall. I would think having plenty of circulation, like a decent size fan would help distribute humidity more evenly, so that areas of the closet don't become more moist than others.

plaster at 70% and below, I can't imagine a problem.

The main problem that I could see is condensation on the plaster walls. It seems that you would need some wood on the walls to absorb and even out the moisture.
