The Lauderdale End Table Humidor Elegant Finish Spanish Cedar Lining Full Swing Door Lock and Key Security

I really love this humidor. I never thought I would fill it, but now I'm wishing it were bigger. I ordered some Fess Storage cedar trays to go on the shelves. I can fit 4 trays per shelf stacked 2 high side by side long ways, and there is still several inches of space between the shelves for humidification devices. The humidor looks great and maintains humidity very well. I did put some silicone caulk around the power outlet in the back. The door appears to seal just fine. Its maintaining 70% humidity even through the dry winter.I do wish that the cedar shelf where the outlet is was cut out a little more. It pretty much makes one of the outlets useless. I simply attached a small extension cord to the outlet to power the humidifiers inside.

Pros:The Lauderdale arrived pretty decently packaged - lots of annoying styrofoam.The build quality is good, its solid but not back-breaking heavy.Cons:There is a lock on the main door, but not on the top drawer.This isn't sealed up very well around the openings or around the electrical outlet. I put on some self-adhesive foam weather strip I had laying around.It took a while to season, but after the extra work sealing it up, the Laderdale maintains humidity quite well. I strongly reccoment a seasoning kit and an electronic humidifier. I used a Cigar Oasis Plus XL.

Great surprise gift for husband, was thrilled with humidor. Holds a ton of cigars, comes with keys to lock cabinet. Substantial amount of packing was used to transport this, which is comforting since this wasn't a cheap gift. The humidor was true to color as seen in picture.

For the price this was a far better purchase than any desktop humidor I found.It’s decent quality, built sturdy and with Sure Seal it holds humidity very well. Currently I only have about 100 sticks so it’s well under capacity but it also hasn’t budged in RH.I have 2x Caliber 4R hygrometers keeping measurement and only used distilled water to season the unit and a Xicar 4oz tub to keep the humidity at 70RH.It gets a lot of compliments and would easily be a very functional and attractive end table.For the Reviewer that has trouble fitting in the shelf by the humidors outlet, you either have one of the shelves in backwards or they have you two top shelves. The bottom shelf has a notch designed to fit around the outlet.

This is a "no frills," solid piece for those looking for a furniture style humidor for storing boxes that looks nice but doesn't cost a fortune. The vented drawer is a nice feature, and removable shelves are adjustable and solid.A couple of important things to be aware of with this item are...1. The way the outlet is situated in the back causes the shelf to extend slightly too far so that the door will not shut completely, and of course also blocks the outlet. This is easily remedied by simply placing the shelf either above or below the outlet, however it is a limitation to be aware of. The way the shelf is situated in the picture will probably not work for you.2. Also concerning the outlet, there is a frame around it that unfortunately does not provide an air tight seal but DOES however make accommodating most ac adapters impossible. Anything larger than the width of the outlet will not be able to be inserted completely without a secondary adapter or extension cord, so if you're using a "cigar oasis" style humidifier that is not battery operated you'll have to either use a secondary adapter with your ac adapter, OR use the ribbon cord and simply take the outlet out of the equation. (Using the ribbon cord was my solution, since there is plenty of room to run the ribbon cord through the gap between the outlet and the surrounding wood frame, so I'm not using the outlet at all, but I am saving quite a bit of room by not having an ac adapter inside the humidor.)3. The seal is extremely poor. It is basically no more air tight than any normal cabinet. (Why there is a label inside the door that indicates "Sure Seal Technology" is beyond me, because I'm absolutely sure there is no seal whatsoever.) In addition, as previously stated, there is a significant gap surrounding the outlet creating leakage there as well. As annoying as this issue is when buying a humidor (which if nothing else is supposed to be air tight for God's sake!), it is easily remedied with the use of weather stripping that can be purchased at any hardware store. I used the thinnest I could find (1/8" rubber) and ran it along the inside of the drawer and cabinet door leaving the magnets exposed. The drawer still clicks into place and the cabinet door still locks easily, but any more than 1/8" will be too thick. To seal the outlet, I used a plastic foam outlet sealer (again, available at any hardware store) which is admittedly a bit of a hodge podge fix, given how the outlet is set up, but it works fine and is forgiving enough to allow me to run the ribbon cord through the gap without creating leakage. There are certainly cleaner ways to seal the outlet for the perfectionists out there, but I'll leave that to you.Ultimately, I'm very satisfied with this purchase, even with the extra work it took to make it functional. End table humidors are typically extremely expensive. (Make sure to check out cheaphumidors.com) This is the most reasonably priced humidor I've found, it looks nice (even if it's not a show piece), and it does the job. Once it's set up, sealed and humidified, allow about two weeks for it to "season" and stabilize before loading it up with your stock.

Doesnt seal real great but works good with a little felt or thin insulating tape. Adjustable inside shelves are nice. Top shelf holds alot of smokes more than you might think. Bottom holds 20-30 boxes if done right. I use a cigar oasis xl and its perfect. Has 2 inside outlets. Overall im very happy. Ordered from 123greetings or something like that. Was about three hundred with free shipping.
