19 ELECTRIC CIGAR HUMIDOR’S REVIEWED

 by 

An Electric Cigar Humidor is an excellent choice for serious humidor enthusiasts who need a new and improved version of the humidity control system for their home or office. The key to building a large collection of cigars is to keep your cigars fresh and at the perfect temperature and humidity. With an electronic humidor, you can safely keep your cigars at the perfect storage temperature.

The hygrometer humidifier is today the most popular type of humidifier on the market with a number of different sizes and prices. The humidor cabinet includes many functions that depend on size and price. Cabinet humidors behave much like any other cigar humidor, except for the hygrometer and humidifier, not the cigar itself. This electric humidifier is fully automatic and can be installed in a cabinet humidor like in a house.

Cigar humidors are specially designed to store cigars for a long time. They are manufactured from premium quality wood. They have an ideal temperature and humidity level to store cigars. They come in different sizes and shapes.  The features include a hygrometer, a humidifier, a Spanish cedar lined interior, and a lockset along with the key. A device that is used to measure the amount of moisture in a compact area is known as a hygrometer. It attaches to the door of the cabinet. The hygrometer has a display screen to monitor the change in temperature. It comes in two displays, a digital display, and an analog display. Integrated humidifiers are not always included inside electronic cigar humidors, although many are. This is something that needs to be determined when making a purchasing decision. Humidifiers control the internal temperature of the cabinets. They also maintain the ideal humidity to store cigars. The storage capacity of the cabinet depends on the size.

HOW AN ELECTRIC CIGAR HUMIDOR WORKS

An electric cigar cooler humidor works with the help of sensors. The sensor detects the amount of moisture outside. It turns on the ventilator of the cabinet and circulates air through it. The ventilators automatically turn off when the temperature reaches the preset ideal value. Electronic cabinet humidors don’t require a person to operate them. The user needs only once to start the system and monitor it occasionally. Electronic humidors are the best method of storing a cigar.

Here are some of the best electric cigar humidors. These are unbeatable in quality and features. They give perfect humidity to store a growing cigar collection at the optimal temperature.

SIMPLE FAQ FOR ELECTRONIC CIGAR HUMIDORS

HOW TO KEEP AN ELECTRONIC CABINET AT 70%?

The electronic cabinet can be set at 70% humidity by keeping it away from direct sunlight, refrigerators, and turning off the coolers.

 

HOW DO YOU SET UP AN ELECTRIC HUMIDOR?

It can be set up with the help of the following steps:

·        Place a glass filled with distilled water in the container.

·        Turn on the electronic humidifier.

·        Attach the hygrometer to monitor the humidity device.

·        Close lid of the container

·        Now monitor the readings on the hygrometer. When it reaches the ideal humidity level (65-70%), it means your storage box is ready to store the collection.

 

HOW MANY BOVEDA PACKS DO I NEED IN AN ELECTRIC HUMIDOR?

One Boveda packet can serve twenty-five cigars. It means the number of boveda packs will depend on the storage capacity of the humidor.

 

HOW TO INCREASE HUMIDITY IN THE HYDROELECTRIC HUMIDOR?

You can get it with the help of Boveda humidification packets.

 

WHAT IS THE BEST TEMPERATURE SETTING ON THE ELECTRONIC HUMIDOR TO GET THE BEST HUMIDITY?

The ideal temperature is set according to the 70/70 rule. This rule states that the temperature should be 70-degrees Fahrenheit and the relative humidity should be 70%. In this state you can achieve the best humidity level to store the collection in an ideal environment.

 

HOW DO I CONTROL THE HUMIDITY IN MY ELECTRONIC HUMIDOR?

You can speed up the humidity process by placing the cabinet in direct sunlight with an open lid. If your humidity increases from the ideal level, lower down the level of the distilled water in the water tank. For regular use, keep the container away from sunlight and cooling refrigerators. The humidifier will be able to work properly on its own by maintaining the ideal temperature level and controlled moisture environment.

Well this is good timing I have been looking at Electronic Humidors lately... a couple not on the list I have been short listing:

Swisscave

Cigarcava

Raching

But I do have a couple of things holding me back compared to a normal cabinet...

How long do these humidors last before they need repairs and how easy will the repairs be? The Cigarcava does say they offer replacement parts.

Also if you live in a country without massive temperature swings is it worth the extra complexity?

I will probably get one in the end even with these questions ?

I have one on the deck at work with minimal protection from the elements and it has been going 10 years. 

Personally, I would get the largest, cheapest unit possible.

I have this one:

https://www.amazon.com/Audew-Cooler-Humidor-Spanish-Capacity/dp/B07VVN4VJ7/ref=sr_1_1?crid=2XBY425BSYE20&dchild=1&keywords=audew+humidor+500&qid=1614127279&sprefix=audew+hu%2Caps%2C223&sr=8-1

only had it for 4 months but so far so good.. I had one issue with the cooling fan squeaking and brought it to the attention of the manufacturer . I thought they would send me another one and I would just replace as I'm not all that incompetent :) . They ended up sending me another one !  So amazing customer by these guys.. I ended up giving the squeaky one to my neighbor who poured my concrete pad on the side of my house..

10....definately number 10. I just wish Aristocrats were still being made. 

I think these all cost about a buck per listed cigar capacity.  And we’re not getting 4000 Churchill’s in that bad boy.

Your right. I’m looking at it an It will hold what I have now. But I still have 24 boxes in the mail. It would be overfilled pretty quick. I think I may have to resort to your tupidore solution.

I'm in the UK and made the same decision last year. Warm spells in summers were causing temps to rise to high 20s°C with nowhere cool in the house, with regular fluctuations between 15°C and 28°C. Presumably your reasons for wanting one are similar?

I bought the Klarstein El Presidente 78... It surprised me how stable it is at holding humidity (using Boveda packs). It's a relatively low end unit and regards temperature, it works perfectly when ambient temp is around 20°C or higher. I have it set to maintain 18°C and when ambient is 18°C or lower, it doesn't appear to be sophisticated enough to stop cooling. This means it can occasionally drop to 14°C, which is no problem at 64-65% rh.

Your concerns about longevity and reliability are shared by me and remain to be answered!

Yeah the same reasons - I am also in the UK.

My collection is starting to outgrow my two humidors and for now I have been using vacuum packing which is fine but I am starting to think about the effects of temp swings on longer term storage:

I buy much more at the moment than I smoke (for lots of reasons... you never know when buying internationally will become harder being one!) - so plenty of scope for ageing boxes in my personal collection. From what @Elpresidente replied it looks like these units can be quite resilient.

Out of the ones I listed it is a close run thing between the Raching and the Cigarcava I think... I have seen the Klarstein El Presidente 78 it looks really smart but a bit small for my needs.

I cant blame you. Being in insurance claims the image I had of alot of classic and exotic cars has changed or essentially been ruined. For the longest I wanted a 32 Duece Coupe and a handfull of other street rods and exotics. If I won half a billion dollar lotto today I don't think I would buy anything outside of current mass production midrange line.

Tried the Whynter and Newaire and they work ok but 46 quart weatherproof tupperdors in the basement work just fine.

Long live Tupidors.

For those of you in the US, this brand is American made & can be sourced from several online vendors on the cheap. I like the 62.8qt, but they also make a 74.

For my BOTL Raching MON owning friends, have some questions:
  • I decided to buy the raching MON3800A and was wondering if anyone has experience with this add-on they mentioned to remove ammonia....do you think it is worth it?
 
Quote

 

Besides, MON is the most advanced humidor in the whole industry, for the model MON3800A, it has an optional parts - Ammonia Removal device.
which was launched last month, this more professional and specialized in ammonia removing.  The cabinet will be equipped with this device inside, the core parts of the device are imported from Japan. This will be the first and the only product in the whole industry that has dual-system ammonia removal technology ---- radio water ion module + spray water system to remove ammonia (similar to the principle of a fountain). The ammonia removal efficiency is close to 100%.

 

 
  • So given that this unit has three areas with varying degrees of humidity, one for smoking bottom area, middle area for storage, and top area for getting ready to smoke, see picture, what do you think I should set my humidity and temp at for my cubans to age/store them? I've read the recommendations section but folks have varying opinions so thought I would ask.  Also do you find that the 3 different zones work as advertised?

.... well, if your comments consist of moving your controlled humidor in and out of sunlight to support its functioning, then I would suggest those folks take another shot at a different trade, line sandbag stuffing. 
 

That review is a joke!

But I do have a couple of things holding me back compared to a normal cabinet...

How long do these humidors last before they need repairs and how easy will the repairs be? The Cigarcava does say they offer replacement parts.

Also if you live in a country without massive temperature swings is it worth the extra complexity?

I will probably get one in the end even with these questions ?

Raching is a beast! Whips the cigars into shape and of very high quality. VERY quiet too. I just bought the stainless one after the black one
