Beads are the ultimate.If you buy enough,they will work in any size cabinet.There are size charts on the website.

I will have to respectfully disagree

I have this for my cabinet humidor and it works awsome! I think it is the perfect system.

ScoopKW, why you would waste your time building a system instead of buying this one is beyond me...

If the humidity is too high it will just circulate the air with the extra fans every hour for a minute. Other wise it will turn on the humidity canister fans whenever the humidity drops past the desired point, then when it reaches the humidity it will run the additional fans for another minute to insure even distribution. The hygrometer is calibratable, as well as the actual unit(new feature).

And if you live in a REALLY humid enviroment then adding some blow dryed beads will absorb the excess moisture from the air, but I still don't think that would really ever be needed.

my two cents

THAT is almost exactly what I had in mind. I hate being a few months behind the times.

I think the unit would be even better with bluetooth. But that's basically just a "gee whiz" option which I can do without.

I don't suppose the company that makes the control unit/digital hygrometer is listed anywhere? I'd love to find out more about the "guts" of the system, being a hopeless geek.

No offense dudes but I smoke cigars ,not obsess with RH and gadgets. I have a bowl of gel in each of my coolers and it keeps the cigars @62-65 RH . Anything higher is too wet,regardless of wrapper ect ect

I gotta agree with Kevin here.When I first got into cigars,I worried constantly about humidity and all that shit.I dont even use a hygrometer now.I just look at my beads and when they start getting dry,I'll stick a glass of distilled water in for a couple of days to recharge them.A little swing in rh here and there isn't going to hurt anything.

Thats not 100% true, swings in RH can cause a cigar to swell and crack the wrapper. Sure if it cracks at the foot thats fixable, but the entire purpose of the gel, beads,etc is to keep the humidty steady.

Beuaty is in the eye of the beholder. I watched someone last weekend spend $600 on 1 (one) cigar.

Besides if you obsess over them like priceless works of art that doesn't mean that you can't enjoy them too.
