Wow, who did you piss off? I am looking for a large humidor and like the fact that it uses Bóveda pacs. We spend a lot of time out of town and if electricity goes off, as happens from time to time, you are screwed. Additionally , water tends to promote mold. I think you are spot on and look forward to trying this out .
I run 2 schmecke 400 units . I personally think they are better . Because you don't need the boveda packs which can get expensive after a while . The schmecke has a reservoir that you fill with distilled water that has fans that circulate the humidity .It also heats and cools . They have been keeping my cigars perfect for years now .
Nice review. Disagree on Goat status though. I weighed the pros and cons between this unit and the NewAir 840 and although more than double the price, the 840 was the clear winner. Biggest con that was not mentioned is the fact that this unit does not heat, it is only a cooler. For this of us in colder climates (New York) that alone is a deal breaker.
Was thankfully able to pick one up as a return through a place that auctions off returns. Can't say I would have paid full price for it, but it was well worth it for the $150 I paid.
It does look really nice but hard to beat the value of the kingchii 48L 350 count especially if you can get it for the prime price of $241! Just wish I had just started with a winador from the beginning, having 10 tuperdors/small desktop humidors at once was way too much to try and manage lol. Cigar smoking is supposed to be a stress reliever not stressful in itself just trying to maintain a bunch of containers. Thanks for the video 🙌🏼
@@DJ-Art-Morris ya. Kinda surprised really. Loved it up until now. Now I’m more inclined to spend more money for a better device, but so confusing as to what’s the best one out there
500? 300 if you are lucky. All brands of electric humidors overstate real-world capacity. I bought a 1500-capacity and had a second one bc they don't hold anywhere near advertised. And they all have little room if you have more than 1 or 2 boxes. The 1500 are on sale for 999.99. A better value if you can afford the larger humidor.
Wow! This is a really slick humidor...very interested, even though I certainly don't need to store 500 cigars. I'd have to smoke daily instead of weekly. LOL! Anyway, yeah...I'd expect to see a humidor that size having 2 or 3 zone hygrometers. I'd also love a filtered water connection....just connect the hose, set it, and leave it alone for the next five years. Cheers!
Dont understand how this is the goat. No hygrometer no self humidification. Just constant fan on boveda packs getting dried out to be replaced or rehydrated. How is this the goat. And most king chi or raching maching are put in water and it controls the humidity. Makes sence why it cost more. Always rember no matter what if everbody knows about it , you get what you pay for. But thank you for the reveiw but this is a good humidor but not even close to the goat.
Not to mention it costs more than double humidors that have all the things you just mentioned. $600 for a basic humidor is insanity. Plus an additional $50-100/year on Boveda packs
I think it's great. But it's just really large, and that is really my biggest "complaint". But it holds a lot, so it's worth it if you have the floor space. When I reviewed this, I didn't have space in my home for it, so gave it to a friend of mine. Needless to say, he loves it. But I will also be reviewing one of Newair's smaller models to see how it compares. Thanks for watching!
No humidifier self-humidifies. You have to have a humidification system in there. I've seen a lot of humidifiers, and this is by far the nicest one I've found. If you disagree, you do you.
Does this heat as well? You didn’t mention it in your review and it is essential. If not, then this isn’t even an option. Temperatures always fluctuate and cigars like to live in a warmer climate. 70° is above classic room temperature (68°) and *definitely* heating becomes an issue for everyone during the winter. Many cigar smokers, like me, who have roughly one every night (which isn’t that much, really) will buy boxes of cigars they enjoy frequently to both save money and to make sure their favorites are always on hand. On top of that, humidors are notorious for massively over stating how many they can hold. This one you reviewed is definitely on the smaller side, or if you prefer, the smaller side of medium electric humidors. 😉 I also find it odd that the Boveda packs hang down and take up so much space. On top of that, there is no front or back edge to keep cigars from just sliding or rolling out. In a nutshell, it looks like you might want to dig a bit deeper, and test a few more, before stating that this is the BEST electronic out there. I’ve been looking and heavily researching this topic for years now and I am still waiting for someone to build a real electronic humidor that properly solves all the real world problems cigar smokers who maintain a sizable collection have. My 2¢! Thanks for taking the time to at least dipping your toes into this complex issue!
@@philwilliams8328 Not true. The comment he makes is the following: “It has heat and UV protection.” I.e., It will not heat up from direct sunlight. It is protected from the heat. If it had cooling and heating, this would have been addressed in the temperature control portion of the review. I looked elsewhere and nowhere does it state that this has a heating element (but their advertising DOES say that the glass protects against HEAT and sunlight; exactly what he says in this video). I actually get the feeling that he didn’t actually use the damn thing and just reported based on the spec sheet. There are ABSOLUTELY better electric humidors out there than this! In addition, everyone who HAS purchased this model has been extremely upset that they had to season the thing as it arrived horribly dry. Even Newair, the manufacturer, says that it has to be seasoned, which is the opposite of what they are proclaiming in their advertising. All electronic humidors are just converted wine fridges unless they specifically state otherwise. I’ve been researching them for many years now and this has always been the case. Unless you can show me where the manufacturer states it has a heating element, it just doesn’t have one. Cheers!
@@T_bias Yes, you're correct as to it not being heated. My mistake. Also a ridiculous claim he made that it comes pre- seasoned! I've never heard such an asinine claim in regards to _any_ humidor.
@@philwilliams8328 Exactly! You just are not able to pre-season a humidor that is mass produced. MAYBE if you bought one from your local tobacconist who does it for you as a favor? But that’s a major stretch! LOL 😂

My kingchii 48l lasted just over 4 months. I was impressed. They fully refunded me, but left me with a Cigar collection I had nowhere to store.

I disagree. I don't claim that's perfect, but I to think it's the GOAT.
I agree with everything you are saying
Mine works better when it’s turned off . Wish I never bought one
I have this same model and agree it’s not the goat. Clickbait
It's a fridge. That's it.
just remember everyone PLEASE SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL SHOPS!
If it doesn’t have built in humiliation, cooling/heating and you need to add boveda packs it not the GOAT.
I disagree

@@pjbuma13 it doesn't have the be the best to you. But I think it's great.
I’ve had an older model NewAir Humidor since 2017. I use the large Boveda packs and only have to change them every 6-8 months.
Appreciate the review sir 🙏 how are you liking the unit so far? Currently interested in this humidor but looking for some feedback. Thanks

No humidifier self-humidifies. You have to have a humidification system in there. I've seen a lot of humidifiers, and this is by far the nicest one I've found. If you disagree, you do you.
Having the so called GOAT, and then taking out a cigar wrapped in cellophane was all I needed to see...
plenty of people store cigars in the cellophane. It concentrates the flavor, while taking it off mellows the cigars. No right or wrong way.
I just ordered one! I know it’s no seasoning required but did u do anything before putting the sticks in? Like drop in some 84% packs for a few days?
no, I didn't. I just put them in there with the included Boveda packs.
@@BeastMadeReviews just threw some 72s in with about 100 cigars. About how long did it take to get to at least around 65-69%?
@@JordanTheJabber That I wouldn't be able to guess. You would have to check it with a hygrometer in the humidor, or with a CigarMedic for each cigar.

A nit pick cramp your style idea. Heartfelt beads with nylon bag. Beads two way and last for life.
yeah there are a lot of great humidor variations. And some other options besides Boveda bags. I just prefer the ease of use with Boveda.
Ive got one that holds about 50. Im happy with it. Looks cool though. At that point i would just be showboating my cigar collection lol.
Would’ve been nice if you give me the goddamn price

The best? All I read about is the cheap Chinese plastic smell that ruins your cigars in all New Airs.
The overwhelming smell in this humidor is Spanish cedar. Definitely not plastic.

I am sorry, but your judgement is poor (I could I have said pathetic, but am being polite 😅)… Have you heard of Euro Cave humidors?
I disagree with your statement. And I didn't ask what you thought of me. I live in the USA. Those are not available here.
Just get the 840, always go one size bigger than you think you need.
