brownieking Posted July 16 Posted July 16 Cheers and hello from Arizona! Excited to be part of this community. About two years into my Cuban cigar journey and am hooked. Just bought my first electric humidor and have about 20 or so boxes in there. Wife already thinks I'm crazy, so I'm right on schedule! 2
JohnS Posted July 17 Posted July 17 Judging by your introduction you are very much normal, for where you are on your Cuban Cigar journey, and you definitely belong with us. Welcome to FoH! P.S. I have zero doubt that you are more than aware of how dry, in humidity, the state of Arizona is and so your electric humidor makes perfect sense. If only wives could appreciate such details! 2

Cestis4 Posted July 18 Posted July 18 Welcome! I live in Las Vegas and sealed, controlled units are essential for storage in this arid and hot environment we both live in. You are going to need a bigger humidor, by the way. 1
Dlowil Posted July 29 Posted July 29 Welcome aboard! Going to steal @JohnS sales pitch for my wife once my collection gets larger. 1 1
my happy place Posted July 29 Posted July 29 Welcome to FoH! Out of curiosity, what electric humidor did you go with? I've been looking at a few different ones, leaning toward something cooling/heating that relies on boveda packs for humidity to simplify the unit. 1
Sirius Posted July 31 Posted July 31 I second that! What humidor are you using? I am curious! Welcome! 1

I've been looking at a few different ones, leaning toward something cooling/heating that relies on boveda packs for humidity to simplify the unit. I bought the Afidano 850 because I needed a specific size to fit under a counter. Overall very happy but could use more documentation. Support is all through WhatsApp. I just need to adjust the readouts to match the calibrated hygrometers a have inside the unit.
EdmundGTP Posted September 10 Posted September 10 Afidano looks nice! Curious to see how you like it over time. I may eventually graduate from my multiple budget electrics to something like this. Are you humidifying with distilled water or Bovedas?

Distilled water in the tray works great, barely needs refilling. Here are some photos. I would be happier if the digital readouts matched actual humidity and temp inside the unit.

But you handcuffed yourself to a certain size, knock that counter down and double stack another unit 😂
