My only complaint is that the hygrometer went out and I replaced the batteries and now all it reads is 88% and 88.8 degrees. The humidor itself has great appeal with its glass top and cherry wood finish.

It was pretty easy to season this humidor. It is big enough to hold the 80 cigars I just bought, because the other humidor I have only holds around 30 cigars. It definitely looks nice. If I need another big humidor I will buy this again!!

I own two of these, and after seasoning this humidor holds it all! Holds humidity perfectly, the digital display is solid and dependable. Lid closes perfect. You can use the included humidifier with distilled water, and you'll be just fine. This is without a doubt a dependable choice, and I really like the glass on top to see what my daily smoke choice will be.

The digital hydrometer that came with the humidor does not seem to be working properly, even after almost a year of use and many calibrations. When I first got it, the spot where the keys go in immediately fell apart I should have returned it then,but was in desperate need for a new humidor after my old one developed mold. I don't think the glass top keeps a good seal, but I do love the way it looks.

Bought this as a replacement humidor for one that I have used for years. I wanted something that I could display in my office, so the glass top is a nice feature. I followed the directions to season the humidor and it holds at either 70% (the old analog version) or 79% (the enclosed digital version). I don't know which is the more accurate, probably somewhere in between- but the cigars seem right so I don't care. The seal is snug. Value for price makes this an excellent buy.

When I received my humidor, the hygrometer did not work, I called Thompson and they immediately sent me a new one that was perfect from the start... The trick to this bad boy is to "season" it with distilled water and add a shot glass or two for about 3 days, you also want to make sure it is in a dry cool place with no wind/airflow from fans as it somehow throws the hygrometer off and it will look like it's at 62% constantly.

This box has a nice look and design. Only drawback os that the built in digital hydrometer does not read humidity at all. There is some sort of a design flaw i think and the sensor is coverd up so it cannot read the humidity. You will have to buy a seperate hydrometer to pur inside the box. But other than that the box is good and seems to hold humidity well.

I needed something better than the 3 basic humidors and this one caught my eye. I followed the directions to season it....now the darn thing holds 77% for weeks at a time. I use the top shelf to store 2 of each cigar variety and the remainder below. You can hear the seal pop when you open it. I love it.

I bought this humidor so I could keep our cigars in great condition and enjoy them now or later. The fact that it's not necessary to open it up to see the humidity level is a. If plus. Also the glass top allows me to get a glimpse of what is on the top shelf. I am also happy with the slot inside for the humidifier so I don't have to sacrifice room for my cigars.

The glass top is not sealed, therefore the humidor is not airtight and humidity fluctuates widely. The digital hygrometer has held its calibration nicely. I've used boveda packs, beads, foam and seasoned it twice now. You get what you pay for. Fun fact: I mysteriously got charged for TC's monthly subscription two months in a row without signing up for it. Watch your credit card statement, after doing some research, this is a common complaint.

Eye catching, rich look. Packaged very well to prevent even the smallest of scratches. The digital LCD read-out is BIG in size, and the battery was included and pre-installed. The glass is of a better quality. Humidor seals good, and has a well thought out felt bottom. Nice built in handles on the side, should you need to move it. If you like quality looking furniture, this is right up your alley. Use a drop of mineral oil to keep the outside, (only the outside), looking beautiful, without the wood seeping in unwanted flavours. Mineral oil is inert, will never go bad, and will not impair any off flavours, like a furniture polish would. You DO need to do this step, or over time the wood will eventually dry out. I'm in the Ozarks, and this is holding humidity at 65 to 67 percent, which is exactly where I want it. I'm so glad I ordered this through Thompson Cigar, as it arrived quickly and blemish free.

Bought this to replace my old humidor. It looked attractive enough and I liked the idea of a digital hygrometer. However, upon receiving it, I found the lock was jammed and inoperable so the keys are just decorations and after following the set up instructions perfectly, the highest this digital hygrometer will read is 62%. Temp is accurate and I've kept the humidifier full since it arrived a couple weeks ago. Either the "state of the art" humidifier is not, or the hygrometer is faulty. I even wrote in to Thompson expressing concerns about the hygrometer and received back a response that said I could check the temperature by wrapping the hygrometer in a warm cloth to see if the temperature moved. So, while the humidor is attractive enough everything else is terrible.

This is a really sharp looking humidor. However, I feel as though some humidity seeps out through the built in hygrometer as I can only get it to register at 65% when using 75% Boveda packs. I use the highest RH packs because I live in AZ where humidity is pretty non-existent. Also, I feel the digital hygrometer built in isn't accurate as it is always about 8-10% off from the digital I placed in the box. Unfortunately I didn't test it when I 1st received the unit as the instructions said it wasn't necessary. Still, I would recommend this to anyone that is starting to build their collection as it holds a good amount of cigars and it displays beautifully.

This is not my first I currently have four different humidors that I have setup. I think that I'm receiving part of a bad batch, or Thompson sent me the same one back hmm.. I'm reading all these good reviews, frustrating to say the least. I'm not going to return it Just gonna take it as L and buy another one.

Back Ordered for quite a while after the holidays, but when arrived looked very nice, and sealed tightly. Followed directions for set up and with the digital hygrometer seems to hold at 72-74, can't get it to drop, but depending on where you look/read that is an acceptable setting, so letting it ride as it has been extremely consistent. 809's that came as part of bundle...Just OK, as about half wrappers fall off, ones that don't are not bad. Don't think it's the Humidi as other ones inside are fresh and none appear to be dry or overly damp. Am almost complete with filling it with every CA yearly Top 10 single ranked stick Thompson sells, and does display all of them quite well...now to work my way through all one at a time. Final note, I have had this since late January and unfortunately the fancy little screws that hold the hinges for the heavy lid have mostly pulled out of the wood as they are tiny and the lid with glass is heavy. So that would be my main complaint as the smokes were not expected to be great anyways, and I got all for about 67% what the Humi is now selling for.

Very well made, it takes a few days to bring it to the "maintain" status. I applied distilled water with sponge every day for 3 days. Then, the humidity was reached above 65%, and it has been maintained at 68% now ever since. Tight seal makes it possible to maintain the ideal humidity to keep your cigars.

This is not the type of humidor you can "set and forget". It took a couple of days this winter to season it before I put any cigars in it. I think not opening it for a week still requires the addition of water, although to be fair I'm sure the general humidity in my house is low. I have not locked it so I cannot comment about the lock. I'm not sure why I would ever think I need to lock it. I have no idea how accurate the hydrometer is, but I do know when it reads 66 and up the cigars burn just fine. If you want to store your cigars and forget them, get an ammo box. This box works just fine if you plan on opening it everyday or just once a week.

Top shelf with 2 dividers and large slots for air circulation is a plus for accurate humidity reading, top shelf is always 2% higher in my 100 count humidor. I was aware of alignment issue on the sensor, so I corrected the problem before seasoning , works like a charm and I'm very happy with this humidor.

I buy 40 cigars at a time and let them sit for about 5 months. While those age I smoke the other 40 that have been aging in my barrel. While the top shelf is for my nicer cigars to show off. Always kept humidity for me. Tested with two other digital hydrometers. Mine has never been more than 2% off. Only downside is my locking mechanism broke after almost 3 years. big bummer. lost about 60 cigars that have had quite a lot of aging including a couple 2 year old cubans and some 2 year old acids.

Like everyone says, Hydrometer is inaccurate. Once I found it consistently 5-6% lower than it ought to be, I can live with it. I like the glass top for viewing, and keep a portable digital hydrometer on top of the cigars to view through the glass top, as well as an electronic humidifier with its own hydrometer. I'm still not sure about the quality of the seal. Opening and closing the lid feels a little looser than the lid on my 30-count Eslplenade humidor.

Seems to be a great starter humidor. I purchased this as a set that included 60 Green Label Thompson cigars (they are nothing special). The main issue is the humidity fluctuates but so far seems to keep everything fresh. The humidor itself is beautiful. Small scratch on the finish when it arrived but nothing to fret over.

I have been smoking cigars for a few years now. I started out with a small and cheap 50 count QI humidor. As I expanded my collection, I decided to buy this one. I read the reviews and many said that the humidity was off or that the hygrometer was innacurate but they listed steps to correct this. Well after trying everything the past two months I've decided this is junk. I did all seasoning methods to start. Tried a fully soaked sponge in it and left it for a couple days and the reading never got above 64%. Then I tried to wet the sponge again and leave a shot glass of distilled in there as well and it went down to 62%. I drilled out a small hole as others said they have done because the hold in there didn't line up with the hygrometer. After I did this I tried putting in 4 Boveda 84% packs. Within two weeks they were dry, but the humidity now read 59%. As a last resort I have bought a Heartfelt humidifier and have put it in there for one week. The humidity now reads 54%. I have given up and kept my cigars in the other humidor. That one is usually reading lower in the winter months as well, but keeps the cigars ready to smoke. It was a waste of almost 100 dollars buying this item. Buy at your own risk.

I received this from my girlfriend for Christmas. And was so excited to see it as it looks better than the pictures but like some of the reviews say glass is loose and the hole cut out for hygometer is in wrong place. I could not get humidity past 67% , yes tht is accetable but after 4 days of "seasoning" it should have been a little higher as i wiped it down twice. Plus used a saturated sponge in a bowl plus the humidifier. So i placed my cigars in it basicaly a total of 60 and within 4 days the level dropped to 58%. Called customer service they were helpful sent me a new one in the mail. Got the new one out of the box and the glass was also loose and the hinges were loose. So i sent that one back and received another one. Just opened that one and well same issues along wth stripped screw holding the hinges. So i am going to send this one back and keep the original. I have made a new hole for the hygrometer and used Xicar solution. Humidity now reads 70% but still falls slowly. So i will try to seal the glass. Also i have put maybe 10 cigars out of celeophane wrapper on the top tray and they have started to shrivel n crack. So i am at a lose. Guess i will also need something on the top tray to help with humidity. Wish i could have the luck of others to have it work right. Because it is a very nice looking piece.

This humidor was given to me as a Christmas present from my pops. After storing my cigars in his humidor he decided to get me one. It is a good humidor and it holds humidity. The one issue I have echos what a lot of other people said. The hole for hygrometer is not inline with the sensor. So I had to drill a channel from the current hold down and to the left so air could more easily get to the sensor. It is not noticeable really at all unless you are looking for it. After doing this it gave a more accurate reading. It was reading 54% at the most before doing that and then 79% after doing it. I am getting the humidity down right now.

As with other reviewers, still have to cut a channel so the hygrometer can work properly. To those who have a steady rh, check the calibration on the hygrometer and note where the openings for the sensor are located. Others had steady readings, only to find they were not so steady once an opening was cut near the sensor on the hygrometer. It also reads about 4 clicks too high. Humidor didn't come close to passing the dollar bill test. Didn't realize how much fluctuation there was till the hygrometer channel was cut. Had to glue some very thin closed cell foam to the inside of the entire lid to get a good seal. After all the work done to this unit, it now holds 69 to 72% rh. Thinking about billing THOMPSON for all the work done! Get a big Tupperware and some bovida beads and you'll be better off. I can say it looks nice, but that's all.

Great humidor for geat price. Holds humidity and is accurate. Never had a problem with fluctiation. Holds all my cigars and is great for just starting out. However it is time to add another or a different humidor. My next venture will be separate drawers as I'm a neat freak sort of and the only thing with this one is it is a tray with dividers for the upper half which means you can only store limited number up top and the bottom is divided into just two sections for cigars. I like to keep my brands separate and not have the mixed up. Little ocd with it. You can mix cigars and not have an issue as long as you don't have any flavored cigars with regular cigars in this humidor. Great humidor, highly recommend it. Thompson Cigar has hit another home run.

On the whole, I would say this unit is OK for the price, but it is what it is... MDF construction, nice cedar lining, but with a fake plastic veneered exterior; as are all humidors in this price range. YES, I'd recommend it. But, that said, I have had some issues with it. Some of these issues are easily user correctable, some may require an exchange. It does hold a good amount of cigars, and the ability to display thru the glass a few favorites or "collector" cigars in the top tray is a plus. (Definitely plan on adding an additional humidifier, as the stock foam one provided does not seem to be enough.) The first one of these I received would not come up to 70% humidity no matter what I tried. (Yes, I followed the seasoning instructions.) I put a gel humidifier in it, along with a gel jar, and a big block of saturated florist foam. I even purchased another hydrometer to place inside to verify that the humidity was low, at first suspecting simply a bad hydrometer. Turns out the glass was loose (moved vertically up to 3/32" when "wiggled.") I returned it to Thompson for an exchange. The new unit I received has tight glass, but the wood inside is not nearly as pretty as the first. The new one came up to humidity according to the additional hydrometer I placed inside, but the external hydrometer still read very low. Upon removing the humidor's installed hydrometer I found out why... The hydrometer's "inlet" was no where near the location in which the hole is drilled thru the wood to obtain the reading, and the hydrometer fits into its routed opening in the front of the box fairly tightly. I used a forstner bit to carve out a "channel" from the drilled hole to the area of the hydrometer's "intake," (one cannot simply drill a new hole from the inlet location straight thru, as one of the lower interior dividers is right in the way.) I now have a fairly accurate reading (+/- 4%) on the installed hydrometer. I suspect I could have remedied the loose glass in the original one with some type of clear sealant around the inner and/or outer edges of the glass, but would have still had to have made the "channel" for the hydrometer to read accurately.

For the price this humidor can't be beat. It looks great and has a nice seal. It must look nice because the wife hasn't complained about it yet. The one issue I have with it is the location of the cut-out for the hygrometer. The hole in the back of the cut out in the humidor does not line up with the sensor in the back of the of the hygrometer. I found that getting humidity up to 68-70% was difficult if not impossible after 4 days and a lot of water. I thought the hygrometer must be off so I took it out and did a salt test and it was right on at 75%. After a close inspection, I found the hole that should lead to the hygrometer sensor is not drilled in the correct location for an accurate reading. The hole as delivered is high in the center of the cut-out but the sensor is in the lower righthand corner of the meter. With some carefull cutting with a Dremel I made a new hole directly behind the sensor. The new hole can't be seen from the outside and is barely noticeable on the inside. Just use care if you cut the hole as a lower divider that's glued in the bottom of the box will be in line with the new hole. Now the hygrometer appears to be reading much more accurately. You can tell the hygrometer is working because when the lid is opened within seconds the reading starts to change. After a few days its steady at 68%...

I have no reason to doubt the accuracy of the hygrometer, after a little more than a month of use. It was easier to start up than other humidors have been, for me, and the seal seems excellent. Lots of glass on this arch humidor means my cigars are laid out as attractively as I could want them to be. It was shipped in a hurry, at a busy time of year.(Dec) I'm very pleased with the whole purchase.

Although this Humidor is working well I am not at all satisfied with the Hygrometer. I have already reported this I continue to attempt to get it working correctly. I went as far as to put a Wet Sponge into the unit only to have the hygrometer read lower. I have followed directions, replaced the battery followed starting instructions three times and continue to have problems. I now measure by the additional digital hygrometer that I also purchased which I do not feel should be necessary. It does what it is supposed to do, but this is a problem.

My wife got this for me as a Christmas gift. As o opened the package I saw a well constructed box with a chip already taken out of the top. I would think someone should have seen it at packaging and sent a different one. The digital thermo hygrometer was also installed crooked. Again I would have hoped this would have been caught at packaging and not shipped. I will call Thompson and see how they fix the issue.

I saw the bundle deal with the Thompson Gold cigars and the humidor. It was backordered at the time, but it was worth the wait. I was willing to "try" the Thompson gold "little" cigars as I usually smoke the bigger ones. I was surprised and pleased that they were pretty good as a regular smoke when I don't have time for those big yule logs I usually smoke. I have a couple of the standard box humidors offered from Thompson (another bundle deal) and another company. They did the job for many years and still do. As my tastes and inventory grew, I needed more room and places to categorize my cigars. One for everyday, one for shop and yard smokes, and this new one for the premium smokes. I was a little worried with ordering a glass top humidor through the mail. The big brown cigar truck sometimes bounces my stuff around quite a bit. The packaging was very well done and survived the shipping shenanigans. The humidor itself is quite the piece of furniture. It looks great in the catalog, but even better up close. My father, who used to be a cabinet maker "in the old days" actually looked it over and gave it the thumbs up. All this time he was saying he needs to build me a "real" humidor. Now he's happier with my choice. The humidifyer element is pretty good. I'm used to the lousy hockey puck humidifyers I've had in the past, but this one works better. I like that it is double sided. It seems to work better that way. Over the first 3 months of use (after the initial seasoning start), I had started with the humidifyer that came with it plus 2 gel jars and a pillow pack. After all that time, I've been able to remove the gel jars, and between the pillow pack and the supplied humidifyer, I'm good for 2 weeks or more per refill... longer, if I'm not reaching in there for smokes all the time. The digital humidity display is very convenient. I hated when I would forget my weekly humidor checking patrols for a while. Out of sight was out of mind. This one is better. I walk into my office and immediately see it. While I do want to add some enhancements to the display's seal, it is working fine the way it is. I do plan on gasketing it a little better with thin balsa wood gaskets. As is, it's holding 70/70 fine for me after a short time of seasoning. I had a few dial-type hygrometers I've been using in my previous humidors. I actually hate the ones they shipped with and bought higher-end models to put in there. While getting this new one seasoned, I tossed one of my special dial hygrometers in there to see how accurate the built-in digital one was. I was not happy to find out that my nice dial hygrometers sucked. I thought the internal digital one was wrong at first. I bought a pack of gel jars, solution, and digital hygrometers from Thompson, and found out the truth. My dial HG's really did suck. They were reading 10-12 higer than real. Now all my humidors are using the digital ones. Depending on how 'Santa' treats me this year, I'm thinking of getting another of the same model. Even my cigar buddies are thinking of getting theirs too. The look is sophisticated enough for my wife to like seeing it in the house out in the open :-) Cool.

I love the fact that it has room for everyhitng that I ned to put in it. Its seal holds, the hydromoter seems to be accurate, and it was easy to season (I did it in one evening). So far ahvent had any problems with it and everyting sits at 68-72RH no matter hte temp.

Great for storing and dispalying cigars. This is my first humidor and it looks fantastic. Everyone that has seen it thus far,has commented on how nice it looks and thinks it cost a fortune. Great package deal with the 60 Bundle of Thompsons Green label cigars,telescopic plastic cigar carrier and Humidor. Surprised at how good the Cigars tatse,would buy more when I run out.

This humidor took three days to stabilize at a perfect 70%, and has held it rock solid ever since. My house, like many others today, is equipped with one of those thermostats that varies the temperature throughout the day. Although the temperature within the humidor varies, the humidity hasn't moved off 70% since reaching that level. The only thing I'd like to see added is a couple more dividers for the bottom rack.

Very nice humidor. Every one that comes over always shoots me a compliment about how nice it looks. The glass window is a nice touch as well. BUT, i seasoned it correctly and its been holding my cigars for close to 3 weeks now and the hygrometer may be off. I got the humidor starter kit with this as well that came with jell jars, solution, and a digital hygrometer/thermometer. I have the digital on the top shelf, a jell jar in the bottom as well as solution in the humidifier box it came with. The hygrometer on the top shelf says 70% and the built in one reads 63%. But both read the same temperature.

The humidor has kept a consistent humidity of 75%, order the solution plus to get 70%. The box has held its humidity and temp.

I followed all the instructions and actually humidified for one extra day before putting 150 cigars in it and its held the humidity beautifully.I do think turning the key keeps the seal a bit tighter.

After a month of use, the hygrometer stopped working. I emailed the company and have yet to get a response. I am unable to call because when I get home from work the office is empty. I will cancel all my other orders, and cancel my 250 membership. There are other companies who have contacted me and seem to care about the customer and I haven't spent a dime with them yet. Oh well.

Great Humidor for the price. Showed a friend of mine and he now wishes he had purchased the same. His doesn't hold the humidity consistent for extended periods of time. Mine, however, is holding at 72 for weeks. It's nice to come into my office and see the digital display at 72 each morning. Cigars that came with Humidor weren't bad either. Good everyday cigar.

The looks of this box are attractive, this seems to be the only source for a barrel chest humidor with digital hydrometer. I'll explain my experiences and let you draw your own inferences. The hydrometer was dead out of the box the connections to the battery are not solid, if you open it and bend the prongs and very carefully reassemble it repeating several times putting pressure on the battery towards the battery posts and checking/adjusting there alignment, you may get it to stay on until its bumped lightly. I seasoned the box by wetting it down twice with distilled water (once a day for two days). I left a moist paper towel in the upper tray the second day in an effort to balance the moisture. The box sat for 3 days and was 77-85 humid at 68-72 degrees F. Ambient humidity 60-65%, air conditioned home. I called thompson about the faulty humistat and they agreed to replace the whole humidor. The problem is the set comes with cigars and I was hoping to store them in the humidor asap to prevent drying out. They were unable to sell or replace the humistat seperetly, and we could not come to an agreement. I figure even it had originally worked and failed years later there would be no replacement according to the rep I spoke with. I plan on sealing the front panel and coming up with some idea to use the placeholder, maybe my favorite cigar brand logo or something, and purchasing another hydrometer for the inside. The humidor itself is not air tight and doesn't make a pressure noise when the seal is opened and is not sealed well behind the hydrometer. I added in the cigars and the box is digitally at 77 or 83 with another analog hydrometer, i'm performing the salt test on the two meters to verify accuracy as I write this review. I should also mention I ordered a Xikar Humistat, the bar type with the gel beads to better regulate the humidy and at the time of writing it has been in place for a few weeks (half full). I've been monitoring the cigars and they seem to be in good condition, I left them in the celephane to slow the moisture absorbtion. Before adding the Xikar device there were fluctuations in the humidity which has since leveled but just overall on the high side. The gold label cigars included in the deal are great, perfect everyday smoke. Very mild, full flavor, not a trace of peppery or pungent after taste. By far the best inexpensive cigar I have tried. Even burn, good ash, slightly hot towards the end of the smoke but expected based on the smaller diameter. Understand that people have different tastes in cigars so mileage may vary but I've also handed out several and no one was disapointed. One last note, I do believe that Thompson is a quality company that cares about my business, I just feel in this case they have found a vendor that makes a unique humidor that is very interesting but quality wise needs improvement, perhaps they will be able to work with them to improve future boxes. The spanish cedar has a wonderful smell, mixed with the smell of cigars its borderline intoxicating. Its a shame we could not come to an agreement on compensation or replacement. Also I read other reviews before purchasing this box and becase of the looks I dismissed them and figured I could work the kinks out on my own, hindsight being 20/20 I can't recomment this unit.

I started out with one of the cheaper humidors with the dial gauge in it. I never could get it to read right. I then got a digital one and it worked fine. The digital hygrometor works within 1. I tested it with my digital one. I love not having to raise the lid to see your humidity and being able to see inside through the glass. My wife also lets me leave this one on the dresser due to its good looks unlike my old one.

The design is great however the instuctions are inacurate after 4 days of just soaking one half completely the humidifier stayed at 61% so I soaked both sides completely and it has stayed constant at 68% So I recomend when prepping for the first time soak both sides

I used this humidor for several years (old analog version) and it was great. I live in a dry climate and only had to add water once a month. Bought the "Mother of all Humidors" and gave this one to my son. I had 3 humidors. Wish I had it back. My other small humidor (not from Thompson) is inadequate.

This humidor has been great. It holds humidity very well and has a tight seal but the hygrometer reads higher than actual. I bought a digital hygrometer and the humidifier gel that maintains a steady 70% yet the box now reads 90%. When I was just using the box it was reading 70-75% but my smokes were getting dry (actual 50-55%). So check your hygrometer before you rely on it.

Humidor with nice finish and size. Inaccurate Hygrometer, never goes above 50. I have two other digital hygrometer inside the Barrel humidor, one below basket and one above it, and they always read about 67 to 68 percent humidity while the digital one supplied with the humidor itself reads anywhere between 45 & 48 percent. My four other humidor maitain a perfect 68 to 70 percent humidity: While the Barrel humidor maintains a good seal, its digital hygrometer has a really bad and inaccurate reading: I'm very disappointed with this product, I originally bought it so I can display my cigars in front of close friends.
