After weeks and weeks of searching for the right humidor, I landed on this one. I so badly wanted a glass top because they look SO nice but after all the online research and speaking with 2 store owners near my house, I chose to not go with it, and this thing is just as nice! Good quality build, holds moisture in and plenty of room for cigars! If you are looking to purchase a 25 count or so, ALWAYS GO BIGGER! You will start to think you won't have 100, but trust me, it will be more than 25! I started out looking at the small ones but took the advice of the other posts and went bigger, and I am glad I did! The other thing, I am sure it stated this somewhere but I didn't read, buy two of the 2oz gel packs. I have one in now and about 20 cigars, and it seems it will only hold around 70 for the humidity level. So, i picked up one more ("Ci-Gel Cigar Humidor Humidifier Gel, 2-Ounce") for 3 bucks, can't beat that! I opted to go the gel route rather than the distilled water in the top of the thing... I have had this humidor a little over a month now and it is still sitting pretty! As well, I just ordered a digital hygrometer so I am not screwing around with the salt test.... I am sure it is reading correctly but I just trust the digital more, or that is my excuse to get a little upgrade for my box.

So, to sum it up get this baby over a glass humidor, insert 2 of the humidor gels once around 30 or so cigars, and if you want, opt for the digital!

Updated after about a year and a half -

This is still a great humidor, and I am still glad I went with a larger size, maybe should have even gone larger but oh well.... Anyways, my previous review stated to get 2 gel containers for the humidity, which is needed, but I found a cheaper better alternative. I now just put 2 shot glasses filled with distilled water in the bottom and it keeps this thing at a solid 71% for humidity levels. I stopped buying the gel containers a while ago; they weren't expensive but everything adds up!

Product arrived intact and was well packed. The finish on the outside of the humidor is very well done. I suspect the "inlay" on top of the box is nothing more than a decal.

The hardware is made from plated castings that I would give a "B" quality grade.

The interior of the humidor is definitely Spanish cedar. The box seems to seal well with a slight rub when closing. This may change with seasoning. The joinery of the wood inside the box leaves much to be desired. Mitre joints are not perfect and there are spots of glue exposed on the surface from assembly. This is a B-" quality grade.

The Humidifier is of reasonable quality. It came with a magnetic mounting system which is a great idea. The adhesive used to attach the magnet to the humidifier would not hold the magnet a spot of glue fixed that issue.

The Hygrometer that came with the unit is total junk. Fell apart in my hand upon removal from the box. Very POOR quality. Grade "F-" I was planning on replacing it with a digital one anyway so this was not a big problem for me. I threw the original away and replaced it with one of these: Xikar Round Digital Hygrometer

On the upside, the humidor seasoned easily and seems to hold the humidity well enough.

The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is that I've never owned a humidor and can't compare it to anything else. For aesthetic purposes (which is mostly why I chose it) it is exactly what I wanted.

It seemed to season up well and the the hygrometer seems accurate based on the salt test. After 2 months of use it is holding humidity well and has been a great addition to the house!
