i have the cigar oasis in my 100 ct glass top humi. I will never use anything else, EVER AGAIN. I use the Boveda packs or water pillows in my travel humi but I love the cigar oasis. I just set it and forget it. I add water about every 3 months other than that it is completely maintanence free. I will tell you it has to be plugged in. The battery pack doesn't last long at all, the only thing I would use it for was if I had to transport my humi for some reason.

I agree with you on the cigaroasis. I have the xl plus in the cabinet and i use the ultra in the desk top. And the ultra I keep plugged in also. The best investment I've made to keep all of my cigars at the right rh level.  It is kind of expensive units, but not having to worry about the humidity level and all of your cigars ruining is priceless. They also come with a built in hygrometer, but in the cabinet i keep a digital one in the drawer so I can make sure that the singles are okay all the time by just looking  through the glass top.

dep i've notice the built in hygro is waaay off it reads 73.8 when my calibrated digital reads 71 ... yes I like my cigars a little on the humid side. It is most definetly the best investment I've made. Probably the best thing about it is you don't have to worry about how many cigars you have in your humidor. It will keep them at the perfect rh whether you have one stick in your humi or like mine right now where I can barely close the lid. LOL I actually had to put a few cigars back in the bags ccom ships in with a water pillow. Don't worry I chose the ccom house blends to rest in the bags.

madurofan, I found myself doing that recently myself.... shuffling cigars into a make-shift humi that is. I opend my humidor to find out that not only was my RH appallingly low, but I had no room for any more sticks regardless of how I shifted stock. So, out came a trusty gladware container and a small tray of heartfelt beads.... Should do the trick until I can sort out everything. I really ought to try and smoke somewhere close to what I buy, because at this rate I'll never smoke them all.

I have that problem all the time also. Started with one humi then two with storage for probably over 300 all together and still have to go to the temp. bag after purchases. It's hard to pass up something you want when you see them. :)

I've noticed it being one or two points off also. And the overflow problem with the cigars, same issue here. I only smoke on my days off and with all of the kids extra activities I usually only have time to smoke one at night.  Seems like I collect more than smoke. Although I do have some room for box's still  lol.

Haha I think we all have that problem I'm catching back up though here lately I've been smoking two a day. Need to nip that in the bud though I'm not trying to smoke that many they are just sooo good, lol. I was about to buy another humi the other day and my wife said "You don't want to do that" and she doesn't really care about me buying cigar stuff so I took it to mean she or someone else is buying me one. Ahhh that could be nice :).
