How high is "too high"? Do you have mold forming on your cigars or are they smoking badly? Most crystals should emit humidity to about 70%. It may be that the seal is bad on your humidor which might cause the crystals to emit too much rh. Try opening the top a few inches and then dropping lid. If it bang shut you have a leak, it should kind of "whoosh" closed. You can use an empty ammo can or tupperware for temporary storage until you can reseal your humidor.
