As a long time cigar aficionado Ive always been skeptical when it comes to electric cigar humidors but after a week of use Im glad I made the purchase. Do make sure you properly season the humidor and you should have no issues. Fill up the plastic tray with distilled water and let it sit for a few days until the desired RH is reached. My cigars are well kept in this and no lighting or quality issues with my sticks what so ever. Make sure its not in a tight space and just follow the instructions through ans though ans you should be good. Cheers.
