I guess these are finally shipping. Looks nice. My 150 works well, assuming this one will, too. Seems like they kinda cheaped out on the number of shelves, but I'm hoping the extra drawers may come back on the market soon.

The good news is... now I have room for more smokes!

I love mine, was lucky and picked up an extra drawer when they had them.

I have a Govee on the top and one on the bottom and their both always between 1%. The only time I had a problem was when I had it overstuffed but it was still only about 3-4%
 
Same here. I have two Govees in the 150 and a Cigar Oasis stand-alone digital. All have been salt calibrated. I move them around now and then and generally get pretty close readings througout.

That said, I think with this new one I may get one of those Xikar fans and put in it, it's larger and I think the fan only runs in these when they are cooling. Which may not be that often, depending on AC in the house etc.

Well, it's like, uh... twice as big? :confused:


Seriously, though, I don't know (yet). The 150 is at home, the 300 was delivered to my office. It's pretty much larger. Also has a clear door, which I like (although the black glass on the 150 has its own appeal). I'm guessing won't be difficult to get 200-250 cigars in it without overstuffing it and interfering with humidification.

I'm sort of testing the temp/cooling settings now, will probably start seasoning the thing in a day or two. I expect it will be at least two weeks before I starting putting cigars in it. Just FYI.

I'm thinking more and more all the time that getting some decent woodworking tools and making cigar accessories might be a good retirement hobby.

I have the same thought now and then. I actually have the experience (I ran a cabinet shop years ago and made custom furniture, including for some very wealthy people). And I already have some of the tools, and could easily have the space. But... it's a very niche market. I wonder what it would be like to talk with people like Ed Sallee (Waxing Moon) or Daniel Marshall. But then, that'd be like talking with I.M. Pei (RIP) about becoming an architect. I suspect it ain't so easy to build a name and a brand that can really support a person, even on a retirement income. Still, it would be fun.

I didn’t season with the Boveda packs. I used the tray that’s included filled with distilled water. Only after it reached about 74-75% RH I then removed the tray and replaced it with some boxes and added my boveda.

I haven't had a problem with mine. How many Boveda packs are you using and what size? I use more than recommended, always. I think I put at least six of the size 60 84rh packs in it, and within four or five days it was steady at 84-85. When my two drawers arrived, I swapped them in for the trays, didn't add any more packs, and left it for a week. Back to 84-85 and holding steady. I just got two more drawers last week, same routine, same result. All this has been over a period of several weeks btw, in my office in the suburbs of NYC. No problems at all. In fact it's ready to populate and I'll probably bring it home this weekend, move sticks into it, and take the little one back to the office to keep some there. Temps have also held steady just fine in the 68F range.
 
I recently bought the 150 cigar model Audew. What are you using to add humidity for daily use? I am using one of those tubes with humidity beads. It's OK. But, I need to add distilled water more often than I would like.
