Humidity dropping from adding a lot of smokes

Ok, time for me to search the forum or just chill out about this and give it time. What I am talking about is that n the past 2 weeks I have added over 100 smokes (mostly due to the Rocky Patel event at the local B&M) to my large humidor. I added 60 at once after the RP event and the next morning the humidity had dropped like a lead balloon. I added another jar of beads and a couple of large dispoable humi-packs and it is slowly rising back up... very slowly although I am still a little nervous because it dropped drastically to around 50% and now after 24 hours it is up to about 60% now. I am sure that rising slowly is a good thing but it dropped rather quickly but I was re-arranging and had it open for sometime causing most of the drop I am sure.
I am waiting patiently for it to climb back to 65-70%. I may need more xikar crystal jars. I really need to invest in the heartfelt beads though. Maybe this is the time to make the order because none of the B&Ms here carry the hf-beads.
The smokes are burning really nicely and no damage has been done at all. I just need to learn to be patient and know what I want out of the humi before I open it instead of staring and lurking around in it.
Well, the fiance' is home from work now...
