What on earth is going on and why is it still to high ?
Almost sounds as though the cigars may have been "well" humidified before you put them into the humidor - unless you're living in a place that has 80% rH. I would not touch anything for a while and see where it heads. If the cigars are holding too much humidity and the rH in the house is in the 40-50% range (as it should be) - it will not be long before everything stabilizes itself.

Remember - it really is better to have a cigar with too much humidity and get it down to the right range - than to have the cigars all dried out and try to rehumidify them. Other than the issue with mold in a high humidity environment, you really don't have much to worry about. Watch for signs of mold - especially if you have maduro cigars (they contain significant amounts of nutrients those little mold critters love so much)...

Good luck!
