I am very pleased with my Paradigm Humidifier unit. I have never been able to find anything that could keep my humidor at a decent level in our house during the winter when the air is dry. This unit is keeping my humidor at 67-69% now the past few weeks that I have used it. Prior to this I have used the foam with Zixar solution and the beads and they were not able to keep it above the low 50's.

It works well but the I had to hot glue the magnets into place because otherwise they do not stay stuck in place. It is doing well to keep my humidor at a nice constant humidity level!

From the day my very first humidor arrived I have had a problem maintaining ~70% humidity. I felt like I was re-seasoning my storage every other day. Friends of mine never seemed to have any trouble with their humidors and they didn't do anything out of the ordinary. I'd get a shipment in and within two weeks I had crumbling wrappers and caps falling off left and right! It seemed like I was tossing every other stick! I finally broke down just over a month ago and bought the Paradigm and have since been kicking myself in the behind for waiting so long! Within two weeks my hygrometer seemed to be glued at 70%! Since then all the sticks that were in my humidor before the Paradigm arrived have recovered nearly 100%. Even the "cheapies" that I bought for everyday quick smokes (and because I didn't want to "waste" even more money by having to pitch dried-out RyJs, Macanudos, etc.!) are vastly improved. There are still two or three that are taking longer. But now I can by a box of Macanudos and La Glorias without worrying whether they're going to survive. And they are even tasting better (yes, you CAN improve those babies!) after spending a week or two in a perfectly calibrated humidor after the shock of shipment. Regardless whether you're having drastic problems as I was, this is a very wise investment to protect yet another not-insignificant investment. (I DID have to re-season one more time about 3 days after the initial installation, BTW, but since then it has been a resolute 70%.) Do yourself a favor, get one of these. There's one for virtually any size humidor. It is most definitely worth the price! I'm finally enjoying every single one of my cigars after nearly 2 years of pitching a full 1/3 of every purchase!

At first I thought this was a wonderful product. Kept my cigars at 70% with very little effort. The last time I added my distilled water I found that the Gel was full of mole. I tried cleaning the gel and it became mush. I am now in the process of checking other products on the Thompson site so I can make up my mind as to buying more gel or a better humidifier.

Very disappointed with this product. I have had a Thompson barrel humidor for 2 years that I have repeatedly seasoned and managed to try to get to 68-70% Humidity. I figured that after buying this [$]product that promised the moon it would do something more than it did. Its a heavy piece of metal with two plastic ends on it that eventually stop holding in place so you can look inside and see the black mold dots that are forming on the ends of the "anti microbial anti mold sponge". I've had this for a year and its never worked well. Quite sad for the price. I think it would have been better to buy a nice sponge from the local store. Very sad. Don't buy this for the price. Buy the cheaper one. They have the same innards.

Have owned this product for about a year and a half now. Initially worked okay. I wanted an easy and efficent way to keep my puros at the right humidity. End caps came off immediately. This is an expensive product - now the foam is moldy and needs replacement. Don't waste your money.

The tape backing that holds it to the lid failed after two weeks, but it still keeps the humidity at a constant 72%. Well worth the money.

After moving from Northern VA where the only "Dry Season" exists is the winter; I experienced a severe wake-up call with my humidor upon arriving in Las Vegas - Desert + Humidor= WE HAVE A PROBLEM. For months I could not efficiently maintain the RH level in the mid-60% level as I could on the east coast. I use to frequently wipe the interior of the humidor with a damp sponge on a weekly basis, used multiple jars of humidification. All of this did not work. After researching for better humification, I found this PSH 120 as a solution. I followed the directions to moisten the device and popped it into the humidor and the RH level has stabilized. I've used this device for the last two month and a half and it seems to be working. I will update this review as I go through the summer and the humidity takes a nose dive to the single digits.

This is a well constructed product! That was the first thing that I thought when i opened the packaging. The unit itself is metal, and the sides that hold the sponge in are durable flexible plastic. Comes with an excellent magnetic attachment system to hold the unit in the lid. I purchased this unit to help with a troublesome humidor that I received as a gift from a close family member. Rather than pitching the poor quality box I am using it as a learning experience on tricky humidification issues. Nonetheless, this unit is in a 50 ct humidor. Seems to hold the humidity level well, but needs bi-weekly or so maintenance. I used this product after getting suckered into purchasing those gel beads. They gel beads did not work - but this seems to do the trick, even in a poor quality humidor. I would like to see it perform in a good humidor to really compare, but from what I can see this is an excellent product. It keeps my humidor at the level it should be when many other products failed. I would recommend this product.

Had a new humidor that I could not get to hold moisture. Tried several less costly options. This is the only product I've used that would boost the humidity to proper levels. Tried different crystal based products and cups of water. I highly recommend this product. My curiosity is how long this product's life will last.

I bought this to ease humidor maintainence. It seemed to be a good replacement for the sponge system originally included. I find it has not helped even using it as an addition. I am still having to perform weekly maintainence. I would not reccomend this to anyone.

I bought this to put into my existing 6 year old humidor when the original humidifier elements would not keep up anymore. My humidor has been well treated and it holds about 75 cigars, it has about 70 in it right now. I pulled out the old elements, followed the directions on the new Paradigm humidifier and after a week my humidor is below 65% relative humidity. Living in Colorado I know it is dry but I purchased the Paradigm Humifier for 125-cigars thinking it would accomodate a smaller humidor but dryer climate. Will soak again and put back in the unit but right now pretty disappointed in the unit. Also, after the first soaking the end of the unit fell off exposing the sponge/element inside the plastic case, I had to tape it back on. I would spend your $$ elsewhere.

Great product. I hope I set it up right, the instructions were very difficult to read. They looked as if the same set had been copied over and over again from the time the company first opened. As a first time humidor owner, I did not have a lot of confidence in setting this humidifier up, hoping to God I did it right and that my cigars would not dry out.

I was having trouble controlling the humidity even after conditioning my humidors. Spend lots of $$ on gel packs & containers that took room my cigars could have been in. This was a space saver. Worry free.

Received system without sponges or directions for use. Called Thompson and they asked that I send it back using the shipping label enclosed and they would send me a replacement at no charge. To date I have not received the replacement but my American Express was credited for the full amount. I assume that you no longer have the product I ordered. I would really like to try the product.

When i first started smoking cigars i didn't know much about their care and feeding!!! So I put them in the humidor and they all went bad because i didn't really understand the function. then when i did understand the function i tried different products and always struggled to maintain a balance. Since i have received the Paradigm i no longer have issues. I do have to refresh it more often then the instructions suggest, but i believe the humidor i have probably should have had the larger version!!!

Got a 100 ct humidor. This thing hasn't gotten it to 70 yet. The humidifier that came with it could, but this one seemed to offer a lazy smoker an easier life. Can't get the job done and dries out in a hurry. Also, they said it wouldn't grow mold, well, guess what?
