Glass Top Humidors

I don't personally have one, but beware of those. Someone said they ordered one and instead of a pane of glass, it was plexi-glass. Also they said they were worried about the seal.

I guess that is the problem with online shopping

If your getting a Cuban Crafters, dont worry about it not being glass.

Id only worry about the Humis sold on E Bay.

Agreed. Ebay humis suck ass. Mine has a non-existant seal, and I keep the humi itself inside of my coolidor.

I have a Cubancrafters also, but a solid. Ordered the first one from Overstock.com, then ordered another one from them directly. They are nicely built for sure.

Interesting that I got a travel humidor from a cigarshop, and it said to sponge the inside, but when I got the Cuban, it said DO NOT SPONGE THE INSIDE. Found that interesting. Cubancrafters doesn't want inside sponged, but two other places said to sponge the inside. I didn't sponge it, but put a bowl of water, and left it in there for two days.

Well tis because sponging is a short cut to a seasoned humidor. The danger of which is - if you don't sponge carfully, you will get discolorated spots and the inside of your humidor will look bad. I think thats the extent of sponging if there is anything anyone else would like to add.

Some say it will warp the wood and bend it out of shape. Never had a problem with it.
