    Ask BKCloud, he got the same one a couple of months ago.

    Also I'd go with the oasis also and toss the beads on the top shelf. However I wouldn't add water to the beads. I would use them as a back stop in case you have a couple of really hot day's which would spike the RH.

    Don't think that's gonna be a problem. The basement stays pretty much constant at 64-68 degrees and the humidity here in denver rerely gets over 60% or so inside even when it's raining. More often than not it's down around 15-25%. Wouldn't throwing dry beads in just eventually suck the water out of the oasis?

    I did not know they threw in the XL. For your cabinet, it should work great. Sorry, just my 2 cents on what worked for me. Either way, you will most likely be happy.

    Once again, nice humi. I would like to get one of those some day when I am rich and famous as an end table for my "go- to" smokes.

    Thanks. I'm looking forward to filling it up. I didn't realize how much one covets all the good stuff out there. Wonder how long it'll be before I need another one.

    Shelby.... congrats on the new Humi.... did ya get it yet ?

    The beads they are referring to are not "drying beads"... they are fom Viper at http://www.heartfeltindustries.com/Home.htm

    If you contact Viper and give him the dimensions of the inside he will tell you exactly how many you need. The beads slowly release moisture to bring the RH up to the level you want. The longer you leave the door open, the longer it will take to bring up the RH. The Oasis on the other hand would probably bring the RH back up more quickly.

    I absolutely love my new humidor.... be sure to check the hinges and make sure it closes properly. I heard of another BOTL who bought one and the hinges were not properly aligned.

    Did ya get the glass door or wood door ??
    I'm not big on doing reviews, tobacco doesn't taste like "cocoa" or "nutty" or "mocha" to me, it tastes like freakin' TOBACCO. I know what I like and I really don't care what other people think of other cigars. I've never read a review and said to myself "Wow, that sounds like a cigar I'd like to try!"

    I haven't received it yet. It's supposed to be here the end of the month. I decided to go with the wood door just to keep the inside dark. I have ordered the 65% heartfelt beads (2 lbs) they should be here tomorow. I figure if I set the Oasis at 65% and place beads in several areas it will not only hold the humidity even, but should allow for more time before having to add distilled water. I'm looking forward to getting it. I've got my 2 desktops stuffed now with more on the way, which is why I put the rush on the beads. I'm trying to get a coolador ready temporarily.

    Once it gets here I'm either gonna have a lot of fun or break the bank trying to fill it!

    Hey, I ordered the exact same humidor about 2 weeks ago. Can't wait for it to get here.
    I didn't get the oasis, just some more beads.
    I'm already breaking the bank in anticipation of delivery.
