Thank you! You make an excellent point, and that is why I chose to use Boveda packs spread throughout the cabinets combined with USB fans to help circulate and distribute the humidity as evenly as possible. A big water reservoir and fan setup at the bottom of a tall cabinet can only do so much...

Recently I found a great deal locally on two of these double-sided "Reagan" model humidor cabinets by Prestige Imports that were bought new in 2022, and I am finally getting them dialed in. I thought I would share my experience here so that anyone else with these units (such as the more common...

Back to storing cigars in cooler temperatures, I picked up a couple of pre-owned Remington / Reagan cooling humidors to deal with the south Florida temperatures and would like to get them calibrated. Right now they are cooling to temps in the 40's and 50's even though I have the temp setting...

Right there when you said "dog rocket that came from a beautiful desktop humidor". I don't get the correlation, especially when my better sticks are all stored and aged in the coolerdors and are only transferred to the desktop humidors for short periods of time before smoking. You ASSumed I...

Thank you kindly for the explanation, and my apologies if my response was unwarranted. I have never had someone attack or insult my cigars for no apparent reason, especially a fellow brother of the leaf. I couldn't care less about what anyone spends on their cigar storage or cigars. I am only...

Not quite Jeff, you most certainly did miss what I am saying but it's all good. For you to insult my cigars and call them dog rockets just because they came out of a nice humidor was unnecessary roughness, nonsensical and has absolutely no basis in reality. I am not bragging just because I enjoy...

LOL there is zero chance of a cigar becoming a dog rocket due to poor conditions if kept in an Elie Bleu humidor, unless the caretaker did not maintain it. The beauty is secondary to the quality construction, you may have missed that crucial takeaway. Also, I paid $.10 on the dollar for mine, so...

Exactly!!! LOL! They don't even make the 300-count models that I have in regular production anymore but I believe they retailed at $4,000-$5,000 or so from what I saw online. Somebody would have to have rocks in their head (or unlimited funds) to pay that much for a small wooden cigar box I...

So that apparently came out wrong. I said that for those who might care about presentation, but to each his own. I personally like these high-quality pieces for my own enjoyment, not at all for others. I couldn't care less about impressing anyone other than myself. I invest a lot of time and...

That is certainly true for most desktop humidors, I agree. I can report that after several years of experience with them, the two Elie Bleu 300ct desktop humidors that I bought used for a few hundred each really do seal well and stay extremely stable with the Boveda packs in them. They are silly...

#1 Overall favorite for me hands down is Arturo Fuente. Love the regular Opus X line, a couple of the Rare Pink vitolas & the Anejo's. #2 Selected Tobacco's "Byron" line maduro's (go figure) and their Atabey Black Ritos #3 Ashton ESG & VSG (still Fuente Family) #4 Liga Privada T52, No 9 & Feral...
