Looking for Help with a Humidor or Wineador Purchase!

Post by jeffreyjames »

Hi All.

I have two humidors.. One is a two foot tall wood and glass unit that holds terrible humidity, I've seasoned it 3 different times.. Still reads 58 humidity.  Also have a desk humidor, a bit better, but still crap. 

I'd like to end the constant maintenance that goes nowhere and get a solid solution that I don't have to think about. In addition, I'd like it to be sizeable to hold around 300 cigars including a few boxes.

I don't really have the time to build convert a refrigerated unit into a humidor, and understand there are some units out there with the cedar already in place, etc. 

Would love to hear your ideas of something that could work, perhaps an all in one system, or even adding an oasis, etc to a humidor.  Any thoughts?

That does look good.. Wondering if many on here with this type of set up are using an oasis or some kind of bead set up.

I would vote for beads over the active type.

Or KL. Have been using it for years with no problems.

I saw some Wineadors on Bed Bath and Beyond (oddly enough). I would suggest beads for any project involving 300 cigars.

Just found the Avallo brand Humidor.  Looks pretty awesome and apparently has one of the best humidification systems on the market. Why do you prefer the beads over an Oasis type system for larger cabinet?  The Avallo is quite a bit more money then I originally intended.  But I think I may up my budget to $1000-1500 to avoid growing out of something smaller after all.
