25-cigar Humidor Cherrywood Finish

I decided not to spend a bundle on my first humidor because I'm not at the level of an everyday smoker, I just enjoy them occasionally so this was a perfect fit for me and my small arsenal of cigars. The humidor is made of beautiful cherrywood, and it includes a humidifier and a humidity gauge, so it has everything needed for a starter humidor. I get compliments on it all the time, and it was definately worth it for the price.

This humidor is very nice, exceeding my expectations considering the economical price. I received the shipment quickly and in fine condition. The dark cherry finish is practically flawless, and the construction quality is well above average. The brass hinges are secure and operate very smoothly. Most importantly, the lid gives the classic puff of air "whoosh" right before it closes, letting me know it is an airtight seal. The humidification element is fine, and the small analog hygrometer is adequate, but cannot be calibrated. A cedar cigar divider was included, which was a nice surprise. My only complaint is that the velcro-type strips included are not strong enough to support the weight of the humidification device. However, I substituted 3M plastic velcro strips I had which are used to hold a tollbooth pass to the windshield, and have had no problems. All in all, this is a great starter humidor for the occasional cigar smoker and I recommend it. The one I purchased and reviewed came from CheapHumidors.

I purchased this humidor along with the Quality Importers Desktop Humidor, Capri-Glasstop. This humidor advertises a 25 stick capacity, the glasstop 25-50. When they arrived the packaging, color (cherry), hygrometer, divider and humistat were all identical. The only difference in the humidors was the glass top in the Capri.

That being said, the Capri does seem to have a better seal, but I attribute that to the assembly rather than the product itself. As stated in other reviews, some of these humidors have better seals and maintain RH better than others. As expected the hygrometer is worthless.

All in all seems like an ok humidor for the price and expect to have some extra space if you plan to store no more than 25 cigars.

Want 25-cigar Humidor Cherrywood Finish Discount?

I found this when I started looking for something to take pressure off my junk drawer, I didn't even buy it as a humidor. It was cheaper than the plain wood box I was looking at. Once I got it I decided that was stupid, a humidor is specialized equipment and I might as well use it that way. So now I have a messy junk drawer and stained teeth...great. Anyway, for you humidor newbs like me, to set it up:

Attach the velcro tabs to the inside lid. Use ample quantities of crazy glue, the glue on the velcro will not hold.

Attach the other side of the velcro to the humidification element. Also use crazy glue.

Throw out the included hygrometer and buy a digital one. Trust me, I tried for days to get it calibrated. Best I got was 1.5 points low and it went 15 points lower in 2 days. Junk it. To calibrate, fill a shot glass with salt, wet it to the consistency of wet sand, put a toothpick in it and put the shot glass and hygrometer in a sealed plastic baggie for 8 hours. Adjust the hygrometer to read 75%, repeat to confirm.

Season the wood. Wipe down all the exposed interior wood with distilled or boiled water several times. Leave a shot glass inside with water for a couple days.

Soak the humidification element and a secondary humidification element (I happened to have on hand one of those pillows meant for temporary storage) with propylene glycol solution.

Aim to maintain 69-75% RH.

EDIT: I don't know if the humidifier element is cheap or if this humidor is just kinda low quality, but I'm finding it hard to maintain proper humidity without the shot glass of water. So I keep it in there. Easy.
