Your humidity with stabalize quickly or take a few minutes depending on what you use for humidification. I feel that any single left out will be affected more buy the temp/humidity swings more so than anything stored in a box. Just my opinion.

what winodor you got? most ive seen are thermoelectric and when they turn on, humidity isnt as affected. im going to keep mine at the highest temp setting (66) and have that constant, then figure the humidity. i dont have a desktop humi, just a x15 herf.

Doesn't matter the brand or type of cooling. When the cooler kicks on rH WILL drop. However the rH in a container, read box or anything closed, inside the winedor will drop less. Don't believe me? Here is proof:

So keep you cigars in a some kind of box in the winedor. And don't put anything on the bottom of the unit. And plug the drain.

Unfortunatly mine has a compressor. work well other than the swing in humidity.
