I started out like most beginner cigar fans..with a relatively small humidor. In the early days, I would smoke my small inventory rather quickly. Therefore, I never really saw the effects of keeping a good consistent humidor on my cigars. Once I purchased a larger (50 count) model I began to to see how difficult this could be.
I found myself constantly (almost daily) checking the humidor. What started as a fun hobby…became work. I was determined to find a better way to keep cigars over time without the hassle. That’s when I discovered the “Cigar Oasis”. This little machine took away all the aggravation and has never let me down.
The Cigar Oasis is relatively compact. It has a paper-thin cord that slips right thru the crack of your humidor opening, which allows it to be plugged into a power outlet at all times. The top of the unit has a digital display that you can adjust and always reads the current humidity level of your humidor. I have a glass top humidor and can check this without even opening the lid. Click here to see more pictures of my setup. The original water cartridge lasted me a while. Whenever I see the humidity level drop, I simply remove the cartridge and add some distilled water. This usually keeps it going for at least a month. There is very little additional work and I receive many many compliments on the condition of my cigars… Especially the ones that have been aging over the years.
In conclusion…. I highly recommend the Cigar Oasis for your medium to large humidors (Especially when storing cigars for longer periods of time). I know that there are several local shops in my area (and I assume yours) that will carry the Cigar Oasis. If not then you can definitely find them online. Price is based on model size and ranges between $80 -$200.
I have two of these Cigar Oasis for 2 of my large humidors, and they work very well. I did have to replace one after about a year when the motor broke and it was after the year warranty, but I bought another one because they are good products. It would be nice if the warranty was longer given that they are kept in moist climates and there is an electrical motor, but it’s not the case.
Good point John. It would definitely make sense. Thanks for the insight. Always appreciate getting some thoughts from someone who knows their stuff about cigars.
