I like the saying, Lifes too short for a cheap cigar. I would spend a fortune on cigars, buying them in shops that charge obscenely, instead of buying a box online where you save a fortune, problem is, I don't smoke everyday, but the fear of drying out the sticks in the box, pushes me to smoke more. I tried the gel, even bought a digital higrometer to insure that the gel was working properly, even though the readings seem to indicate all was well, the cigars would either be too moist or too dry, This little baby works as advertised. The unit comes factory set at 70. I find that when I scale it down to 68, my cigars smoke great. The fact that you can adjust the humidity to what you want, and so easily, sold me on this unit. You have to get the instructions on their site, thought that was odd, but its PDF and free, and easy to find, so no biggy. Other posters have said it feels flimsy, and it does, I wouldnt suggest tousling it, but if you have a humidor on your desk and it's stationary, then this things great, has a little fan in it to regulate humidity which is monitored by a bright red digital display that reads the temp every 5 sec. Try and keep your humidor door closed as much as possible, and make sure you have the "proper" ratio of cigars to humidor size, and set this thing and forget it. Uses only Distilled water, when you get this device, take the cartridge out, place it in a bowl of D. water and soak it for 4 minutes, dry it off, collect any water run-off and set this thing inside with the included strip power cord, also comes with a battery unit, and Batteries!!! And forget it, I don't want to look at my humidor, I just want to know that its working and so far, for the few weeks I've had it, it's a completly care free operation.

Had to return the humidifier under warranty because it would not regulate the humidity in my humidor. The company was very cooperative and returned the repaired unit a couple weeks ago. Since then everything seems to be working properly. I'm happy with the product and service from Cigar Oasis.Best Deals for Cigar Oasis Ultra Electonic Humidifier

I gave this item a 4 instead of 5 for 2 small reasons.1. For anyone who has a medium to small humidor that they might be putting this in, this review is for you. I have a medium size humidor. It holds around 120 200 cigars and is made up of about 6 shelves. The problem is how it works. The unit blows out the humid air which bounces off the top or sides and the is read by the unit. This makes it think the humidity is at the 70% when the rest of the humidor is actually around 64 or 65%. So if you are going to be placing this unit in a somewhat tight space, I would recommend having another hydrometer on the opposite end of the box to get an accurate reading and adjust the desired humidity to compensate for the inaccurate reading.
2. The second reason kind of goes with the problem previously listed. The unit measures down to the tenth decimal place. So I wish it had some way of setting a range so that it turns on when the humidity drops below 70.0% and turns off when it goes above 71.0%. This would keep it from doing what it has been doing which is... on for a few seconds... off for a few seconds... on for a few seconds... then off for a few seconds... and so on.
Overall it does the job and I would recommend it. It just could be a little better, especially for spending close to $70 on it.

I have a custom made Rocky Patel humidor that holds 150 cigars. I rarely have more than 80 cigars in it as I like to rotate my stock every few months. I stumbled across this humidifier and I am very pleased I did. I have read the other reviews and I can say that I have had zero problems. It has brought back to life some of my older Rocky Patel's that were dry. It holds a constant humidity of 70 degrees that is programmable and it shuts off automatically at set humidity. It also holds a 2 month supply of water using distilled water. It really is a nice humidifier that works well. And it blows away the standard cheap ones that come with humidors that you have to constantly monitor.Update on 4-8-2012. The 2 month supply of distilled water is a tad on the long side. I have found that it needs to be refilled about every 3 weeks with moderate opening of your humidor. Still a great piece of equipment. I love it.
