A Basic Humidor Buying Guide

[MortonMilo]

Looking for an upgrade in my humidor...have a smallish one that's worked for the last little bit, but now have found that there isn't enough space!

I've seen the Liebherr XS 200, fallen in love with it, but the $2500 price tag is incredibly prohibitive! Are there any other electronic, stainless steel humidors out there that dont cost a million bucks?!

I would suggest looking into a wine cooler, vinotemp/edgestar and other options available. Pair that with some Chasden drawers/shelves (www.chasidor.com) and you should be all set!

This should also be wayyy under the $2500 price tag mark.

Best long term investment I made. Yes it was expensive when I bought it but I gifted it to myself with my Christmas bonus in 2015. It is now ten years old and going strong. All I do is enter the desired temperature and humidity settings, add the distilled water when the alarm goes off (every three to four months) and change the charcoal filter annually. It holds approximately 200 cigars (hence the name XS-200).

It is no longer sold in the USA but still available in Europe (Modeel Zkes 453).
