Doesn't seem logical. Especially after less than 6 months.

I mean if someone wants to give me free $$$$$...I'll try more out...Until then I cannot afford to waste my $$$.



So sometime in the next month look for pictures of my AK totally said piece of $hit humidor.
So don't buy another. Just don't make broad statements that if it's not custom made it's crap. That is misleading to newer members.

That doesn't mean it's not true...that desktop gave me nothing but hell...never held proper humidity and molded out in 6 months. The bottom was stuck to my f*cking carpet....not cool......Seriously....it ruined the carpet. It was nice carpet!

Still never came out.

It must have had a leak somewhere.....

The obvious point is poor craftsmanship.

I don't find my post misleading at all....I'll post a picture of the bottom if you would like. I have no idea how it happened....but it wasn't right and it WAS the humidor.

However it is up to you, if you believe my posts are misleading and harmful to new members, I welcome you to remove them. I will not complain one damn bit.

You are missing my point. I'm not saying the ONE humidor you had was poorly made. I'm saying your statement that if a humidor is not custom made, it's crap is bullsh!t.

I'm not going to edit/delete your posts.

Just because you got a bad one Bill does not mean other non-custom humidors will be the same. There are lots of different manufacturers out there and some of them are quite good.

I was just making the point...I've never had a bad cooler no?

Also they are much cheaper and hold much more.

I don't think anyone would agree that a desktop will last forever. Even if they are quality you outgrow them easily.

I know for a fact Mr Pnoon has an Aristocrat Peter ain't rocking no desktop

I have a rock solid desk top humidor that was manufactured in 1926. I can't say it will last forever but it's done well so far. Also, until just recently, I had a 40 count which was my very first humidor. I gave it away to another inmate who was looking for one. It was and still is a decent humidor.

Also, it is ignorant to think that because someone owns an Aristocrat or other larger storage, that they don't still use a desktop.

Alright I give up.

I don't know that I made my point. I'm not old enough to have a humi from 1926

I do have to add, made in 1926 and made in 2011 ....there is probably a difference no?

But the point was some wooden ones are bad and you're out the cash and possibly more. Also a coolidor is cheaper and holds more.

I'm sure I sucked at making said point but I'm pretty drunk, you knew that already. I didn't expect to have to have an intelligent conversation at this time, Peter you caught me off guard.

My last post in this thread. Take it for what it's worth or don't, but I just regret buying my desktop. It was a complete waste of my $$$.

Anyways, have a good night everyone

The OP stated that he wanted a wooden desktop humidor, not a cooler or wine fridge.

I must've missed that part. I didn't see anything about a wooden humi being the only option. I did see he was uninterested in a cooler, but a wineador stil seems like a valid option. Especially at the price point its being offered at.
