Avallo Humidor

[hdryder]

Hey everyone I am looking to upgrade to a cabinet humidor with both temp & humidity control. I am wondering if anyone has any experience with an Avallo humidor with their Accumonitor Humidification System? If so can you give any imput on them. They look pretty good & are definitly cheaper then the Aritocrat & probably a shorter waiting list but I dont want to sacrifice quality for price & availability. Looking forward to hearing some opinions.

I happen to have the exact same cabinet in a Mahagony finish and I love it. Beautiful and solid craftsmanship for a somewhat cheaper price. Matt and Ron are a pleasure to deal with as well. Enjoy your purchase, whichever one you get. It's exciting, I know!

Thanks for the reply. I am almost 100% sold on this one & your right about Matt & Ron...both very helpful.

I've had one of their larger units for a few months. It seems to work very well. The cabinet is in a cool area so I can't tell you how the cooling works. The canister system is pretty simple and by having more than one canister (mine has 4), is more distributed than some single-source units. The cabinetry is nicely done but relatively simple. I also have a large Vigilant cabinet (much more expensive) where the cabinetry is at a completely different level (fine furniture) but the functionality is more complicated and not as effective (e.g., more variation in humidity top to bottom). In short, I recommend Avallo, and Matt is very responsive an great to work with.

I can't speak to the Avallo, but have one of Bob's humidors and I feel comfortable saying that you get what you pay for. I tried to save money in this area for years myself and finally got lucky and picked up one of his boxes "used". I'm sure that I could easily get what I paid for out of it now, nearly three years later (like there's any way I would sell it) . . .

$2,399...for a 48in. by 22in.???? Uhm, for that price I'd need a tad more measurement area...

I have had an Avallo Triple D Chilled unit for a few years now. I also have an Aristocrat endtable unit (which was my first humi).

I like the humidification system in the Avallo best as it is simpler to work with. Both units are well made and supported. The Avallo was less expensive at the time I got it.

I am very happy with it. The service provided has been excellent.

Good Luck on whatever you decide on.

Yes it is expensive but when comparing it to the Aristocrat with the same depth & width but 8 inches shorter starting @ over $2500 it seems that the Avallo is a much better bargan. He sent me some different pics with some different options they offer and i gotta say they look great. Im thinking it is time to order my Xmas present.
