Orleans Group Dumaine - 30 Cigars Humidor

My experience hasn't been quite as positive as most other reviewers. First, I absolutely love the look of this humidor. It's gorgeous, and appears to be well constructed. And it was well packaged, delivered on time, and even came in a nice velvet-ish draw-string sack. But I've had some issues with the humidor. I followed the written instructions to the letter (I believe), but I can't get it to hold the humidity above 60-63%. I'm trying to get it to 70%, but it just doesn't hold. I repeated the conditioning cycle, and I still can't get it to stay near 70%. And while I like the divider and humidifier, the Velcro that's included is way too aggressive for what it's holding. The Spanish cedar grid piece, the divider, and the plastic humidifier are all a smidge on the delicate side (which I don't necessarily see as a bad thing), so a strong piece of Velcro with a really strong glue was just too much for the other components. All in all, I like this humidor, but I don't love it. The Velcro piece is probably a bad idea, and I can't get it to hold humidity (which is the whole point), but it looks great, for whatever that's worth.

Read the reviews and weep if you are a fine cigar smoker and don't have one of these. This humidor is beautiful. I don't smoke often - but when I do I like to have a nice Tatuaje and this box really does them justice. I followed the supplied instructions to season the box which was a little drawn out - I would perhaps buy one of the available seasoning kits if I did it again - would probably make it easier. Anyway either way you'll get there and this humidor will make you feel spoiled and embellish the experience of keeping and enjoying your favorite cigar. My wife actually thought I lied about the price - she thought it seemed like it would be much more expensive! Wanted this at Christmas but they have been unavailable anywhere for some weeks. Grabbed one when they appeared again and am delighted with this purchase.

Listnen, the seal on this is excellent. There is absolutely no change in humidity or temperature once I treated this. The only issue I have, minor, is the humidifier that comes with it is larger than what was reflected in the online pictures and the one that actually came with it is huge!!! Its about 1/2 deep and is the depth and width of the humidor, so if you could imagine the length of a cigar but when set on edge it comes all the way up to the top of of the humidor. If laid flat, as I have it, it takes up about 1/3 of one side of the humidor, thus no cigars can be placed there. I eventually purchased another humidifier, Xikar Crystal Gel, but I'm yet to use it. Its only about the side of 3" diameter. Stay posted.

very good humidor. yes it is toward the upper end of what i wanted to spend, but been very pleased with the quality. go for about a 4 week period before having to put water in the humidifier sponge. excellent construction - good seal. follow the directions for seasoning and you'll like the results.

This is a beautiful piece of furniture. After seasoning I have stored cigars in it for 4 months. I recharge the humidifier every 10-14 days and it's keeping my cigars in great shape to enjoy as I have occasion. I would recommend this a a gift you could be proud to present or for your own use.

My husband loved this. I got it for him as an anniversary gift. We don't smoke cigars very often, so we didn't need a huge one. The quality of this one is great, and the instructions it came with were helpful in getting it set up for first time use. I'd definitely recommend this little humidor.

This is a great humidor, nice size for the average cigar lover that only keeps 20-30 on hand at a time and is absolutely beautiful for the money. It has a tight seal with good craftsmanship with one tiny flaw, the hydrometer is junk. When you pay $100 for a humidor you expect the hydrometer to at least be functional. Mine is off by a full 12 points but the real problem is it does not have an adjustment screw so there is no way to correct it. So, as long as you don't mind buying a digital hydrometer and are willing to accept the included one as "decorative" then this is a great buy.

I've had this about a month. It's like a piece of fine furniture. After seasoning it and getting the hygrometer calibrated, I fill the reservoir once a week and leave a couple of humidipaks under the removable cedar grate. It maintains a constant 68% humidity. I'm very pleased with it.
