If you get it, I'd recommend the Humi-Care XG1000 you can get on the devil site for <$90 if you shop around. It's worked great in my cabinet.

This should work fine if your looking for a cabinet on a budget.
Thanks for the tip

I have a Hydra

Peter, I tried to quote you 3'x, should have just used the little quotation at the top, but I was trying to be clever.

Anyway, I hear you about the Aristocrat, and I would love to go that route, but they are so expensive.....but if I get anymore negative responses like Neoflex, I just might go that route.


Thanks, keep em' coming guys + & -'s

Do you have Bob's url? Long story but Google at work has died and I am waiting on a new computer, they removed ALL my bookmarks and his was one of them.

I understand how expensive they are. The point I was trying to make is that when you reach a certain point in spending bigger bucks on a cabinet humidor, you might as well go all out. If you are going to spend $600-$700 at Cheap Humidors, why not be a bit more patient, save a bit longer and get something really nice. People spend a whole lot of money on cigars and then look to skimp on the humidor and storage accessories.

I went from a small 40 count desktop to 2, then 3, 40-70 qt. coolers and then to my Aristocrat.

Best of luck no matter which route you choose.

Thanks for the url, ya beat me to it before I could delete it, I wasn't thinking and after I posted this I went to my phone....duh!

You are right Peter, Right now I have a Trunkador and a 48 Qt cooler and thinking about starting another cooler, + I have 3 desktops (currently not being used, but going to reseason the biggest soon) waiting on the Aristocrat is def the way to go, now just have to be patient, and that is not my strong suit.

Thanks again for making me see the light.

I have this exact model. Bought it about 3-4 years ago for a killer deal and use a cigar oasis II in it. I have had absolutly no issues with it except moving it because it weighs a ton. With that being said i have long been eyeing up a nice Arisotcrat and plan on getting one in the near future. You just cant beat the quality and craftsmanship.

Default Re: The Tower Humidor

I have this unit that I bought off Craigslist last year. It had never been used because it came with broken glass. The seller had new tempered glass installed and I paid $300 for it. I don't know that I would have paid $800-$900 for it shipped, but it does just fine. The Cigar Oasis works ok, but i also have about 3 lbs of Heartfelt beads through out the unit. They really help stablize the humidity. My lady is very glad to be rid of the coolers...
