A Really Nice Starter or Small Humidor
This is a really nice small or starter humidor kit for someone that buys a box or small assortment of cigars and needs a place to keep them maintained while working through them over a period of time. Sized right for this need, my picture shows 20 cigars stored with plenty of room left over for 5 to 10 more.
I added my own calibrated hygrometer with the hygrometer included with the humidor. This allowed me to capture a week long stream of data showing the seasoning process of the humidor as the internal relative humidity level slowly increased as the included crystal gel humidifier added water vapor to the humidor. I did top up the humidifier with the included cigar solution over this period but very little was needed.
After a week I had a stable internal humidity level near 70% so I added 20 cigars from my well maintained collection and all is well. As long as I follow the manufacturers instructions and keep the humidor out of direct sunlight, I believe it will provide a stable long term storage environment.
Prefilled humidifier, cigar solution, travel storage tubes, dropper and instructions were all well done. One thing I'll add is the provided hygrometer can be changed from degrees C to degrees F by pushing the on-off switch twice rapidly. This is not called out in the instructions. Also, I found the provided hygrometer to be off as compared to my calibrated hygrometer. This is common and once the offset is known it can be worked around. In my case the included hygrometer was reading 4% below my test hygrometer.
Fit, finish, and build quality of the humidor was very good. It looks good on the outside and appears to be sealing very well when closed to maintain a humidified internal environment. I very much appreciate the full coverage velvet-like cushion/pad on the bottom of the humidor to keep it from scratching a softer wood surface it is placed on.
Some quick notes on the hinge and hasp hardware. The humidor includes quadrant hinges which work really well for humidors. Happy to see them included. The locking hasp does hold the lid securely closed using a ball detent locking system. Should the humidor ever become too wet or you want to let the humidor air out a bit, the hasp can be used as a lid prop to allow some outside air to enter the humidor. Added a photo of this as my description is probably lacking.
