Review of Cigar Oasis XL

Customer Ratings:

I recently got a great new humidor for my cigars and I live in Colorado. It's almost impossible to keep the humidity up so I've been known to use a shot glass full of distilled water, drymistat tubes and several other options (all at the same time) to try and keep it up. The idea of an automatic humidifier appealed to me, but I didn't like the aesthetics of using a plug-in one and snaking the cable on the wall.

The Cigar Oasis appealed to me because it comes with both a battery pack and a power cord (with a small ribbon cable that can fit between the hings on your humidor).

I put new batteries in, set it to 70 and let it sit in my humidor for a week. My hygrometer in my humidor never went above 60, even tho the Cigar Oasis said it was 80%. I contacted support and they said it was set to 70% at the factory and that I should try it plugged in but that if I was confident in my hygrometer reading it included instructions for how to recalibrate it. I did that and messed with it daily for the next week or so and it never really helped.

2 weeks in it ran out of water (supposed to last at least 3 months). I refilled it with distilled water and the next day the batteries died (supposed to last 3-6 months).

I finally gave up and plugged it in. A couple days later it seems to be running perfectly, altho I now need to recalibrate it again. I hate the look of the plug, but what are you going to do?

So, end result, it works great plugged in. On batteries it sucks power and never quite works right.

I have purchased a total of 6 of these. Out of the six, only 2 worked perfectly... The others would either fluctuate dramatically and/or not keep the accurate settings even after they were calibrated.

Honest reviews on Cigar Oasis XL

I've only had the privilege of owning the humidifier for about a month but so far I have to admit that this is a very efficient humidifier.

Best one I have ever found to keep my cigars at the proper humidity.

If you are running on battery power I suggest using Energizer Ultimate Lithiums and fill the tank with distilled water prior to assembling the unit.
