Question on fluctuating humidity..

So after the few bombs and cigars I had bought I had to go from tupperware to a small cooler. Go ahead and laugh. Anyway Its a smaller cooler on wheels ( just for temp storage until my humidor is here ) and the humidity in there is not constant i dont think. I have 16oz of beads and i did the watering instructions as on the bottle. Since the beads are 65 percent I really dont need a digital hydrometer right? Since the beads take in and put out humidity at 65 percent? I do have one in there though. Reason Im asking is because I did the salt test and im not sure how accurate I did it. I'm at work now so I'm going to have my girlfriend let me know what its at here shortly. I put them in there about 4pm est. So 3 hours later I'm not sure if the humidity leveled out or not yet. I did put one cigar box in there too. Its around 75 to 100 cigars. Im just worried about screwing them all up...

Say the humidiy goes a little low and then goes a little high and then stablizes from then on. Will they go bad or the longer they sit they will go back to a perfect smoke.
