Michael, Did you mean don't buy the Humidor or the Electronics? I already have a 150 and a 300 humidor in separate locations.. neither nice to look at so need replacing.

Does anyone have any experience of either Cigar oasis XL+ or Cigar spa devices?? Very mixed reviews on line... loved and trusted or faulty and unreliable. It' will be used in a Adorini Bari Deluxe http://www.cgarsltd.co.uk/adorini-bari-cabinet-humidor-cigars-capacity-p-10993.html It will probably be...
