“Great find and worth the investment. (El Diablo Humidor). I now have the room for a good selection of sticks without crowding them.”
“My El Diablo humidor just arrived and WOW! Really good looking, excellent craftsmanship and plenty of space for my ever expanding cigar collection. This unit is the just what i needed. I highly recommend it. So if your in the need ......DON'T PASS THIS ONE UP. See you at "Cigarfest '08".”
“Solid humidor...purchased in mid Dec 09 and I have been really pleased. I was skeptical due to the price but was very very pleased. Quality is top notch and holds humidity great. I too had some problems with the adhesives for the humidifiers but simply super-glued and they have been working fine....upgrade to a digital and you will be set. I totally recommend this humidor”
“This baby (El Diablo Humidor) is huge,twenty one pounds was the shipping weight! Now I have plenty of room to stock up on favorites and the occasional weekly special that is too hard to resist!”
“This thing arrived in a big box, boy was I surprised! I put a CI Humi-jar on the bottom, activated the two top humidifiers with CI juice and it's held a steady 69%. I'm very pleased with it, and for just a tad bit over $100, I can't figure out why CI doesn't sell it for three times as much. With the extra savings, I was able to buy more cigars from CI. Thank you!!”
“I bought my (El Diablo humidor) at the CI SuperStore a year or so ago and have not regretted it for an instant. It's in my living room along with my other FIVE large humidors and two or three small ones (I must be insane; I have more cigars in stock than some small brick-and-mortar shops I've been in!). The El Diablo maintains a constant humidity and the cigars stay in perfect condition. And the price? Almost a give-away. If you require a large-capacity box, this one is a bargain.”
“I love this humidor, finally got it stabilized at 72% after about a week. Loaded it up with a bunch of goodies I bought at CI and 2 weeks later it's still holding steady and keeping all my stock fresh as it came from CI. very good deal, thanks CI!! Y'all rock! ps- the drawers are great for holding the matches you get with your order or lighter or whatever.....nice touch.”
“I love my El Diablo humidor. It is probably the sexiest piece of furniture I own. Also doubles as a good footstool in the living room for shoeless feet. That way I always have my cigars handy while watching TV.”
“I bought this humidor a little over a month ago and it was great from the start. Ten minutes after i put in the humidifiers, the humidity went up to 73% and has been there ever since. It has been amazing and I would recommend it to anyone!”
“Purchased the El Diablo back in 2010. I was quite pleased at first, but I am now somewhat disappointed. About 6 months ago, the wood began to split around the hinges and the brass screws have since pulled completely through. Frequent use might be to blame. At any rate, I now have to completely remove the lid whenever I reach for a cigar.”
“This humidor is awesome! The online pictures don't do the color justice. It's made with some beautiful, very marbley wood. It has a slightly darker (than the pics) reddish wood. It really is a beautiful humidor. It's very well designed and everything fits together just as you would expect a high-end humidor to do. The size was a little hard to judge from the pics. I wanted this to hold cigar boxes and it does very well. You can fit 4 standard size cigar boxes below the shelf (2 side by side, stacked with 2 more on top), and 2 more boxes side by side on the shelf, with room to spare. The two humidifiers are more than enough to maintain this humidor. The hygrometer is completely useless though. It's like something you would find at a 99 cent store. But for the price, you just can't beat this humidor. Buy a separate digital hygrometer and you're good to go.”
“I ordered my new humi on Wed 12/15 and got it on Thu 12/16. I'm seasoning my new humi as I'm writing this and let me tell ya I can't stop looking at it, it is by far my best humi. It is big,roomy, and keeps me from having accesories all over the place. It has a beautiful finish. I've read from other reviews about the issues with the hygrometer so I changed it to digital,and with the humidifiers not sticking I've had no problem there,only one thing was wrong one of the bottom dividers was real short when you put in the bottom, it just falls flat- I think I can fix it. Besides that is an awesome humi I have no regrets and for the money you can't beat it.and now to order some sticks THANKS CI”
“Very well constructed humidor. Combined with a HUMI-CARE EH Plus Elect. Humidifier it stabilized very quickly at 68%. If you are looking for an affordable, larger capacity humidor, you cannot go wrong with purchasing the El Diablo.”
“WOW I BOUGHT THIS HUMI (El Diablo Humidor) FOR ME AND MY FRIEND WE CURED IT AND WE PUT IT TO WORK AND IT JUST STARTED TO DO THE JOB SPECIALLY WITH THE CRAZY WHEATHER OUT HERE IT WAS A NICE INVESTMENT I LOVE MY HUMI I HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT ITS A STEAL...”
“this is th finest humi i have ever owned and i have 6 total it just went right to work with the humicare eh it. i never put the two bricks that came with it to work.and it has been perfect from day three when i put the cigars in they have come up to rh and are very pliable and smokeable within a week. thanks ci. good choice and very excelent price,i may buy another!”
“I love this humidor. Did my research and for the quality, quantity, and price you cannot beat this deal. This is my flag ship humidor. I have a couple of other smaller ones for my everyday cigars but I keep all my premiums in here. It fits the cedar box Davidoff sampler box nicely and the movable dividers on the bottom keep the cigars nice and organized. Nice lined storage drawers on the bottom to keep my fuel, extra cutters and matches. Tray on top is perfect to keep my ready to go cigars in plain view while keeping the rest of the sleeping boys on the bottom. Humidity level is very stable. I took out the analog hygrometer and replace it with a digital one. I also don't use the standard humidification device because I use the crystals. This is a beautifully made humidor with lots of space and it it very functional. The key with tassel is a nice touch as well. My next purchase is going to be a fuel cabinet humidor. I just have to see if my wife will go for it. Great job CI.”
“I'm very happy with this humidor. I have done a lot of research and for someone one a budget who wants a quality product for a super reasonable price this is the ticket. I have it tuned in, stocked and it is a super quality piece. Lots of room!”
“I bought this Humidor back in December and have had no problems with it. It's worth every penny and for the price, you just will not find another one like this. I guess my only issues are that it certainly will not hold 300 thick gauge Cigars, maybe 150 - 180 at most. The adhesives on the magnets on the Hygrometer and Humidifiers would not hold them to the Cedar so I had to use Velcro instead and swapped out the analog Hygrometer for a digital. Whenever I have this many Cigars in one Humidor, I don't take chances but I am using the original Hygrometer in one of my smaller Humidors and it works just fine. Other than that it has a pretty good seal (easy to keep Humidity normal but temps can get up there so keep it in a nice cool space), the drawers are great as well as I keep all my cutters, matches and lighters in them. I have owned it since 12/09 and it has kept my Cigars in pristine condition. I would definitely suggest this Humidor (El Diablo Humidor) to anyone just starting out or someone having a medium sized collection.”
“Trust me when I tell you, there is not a better Humidor at this price anywhere. The size and look is just AMAZING, if you are planing to buy a Humidor do not look any where else, you will very pleased at this one, really really trust me, I own many and this is the best for this price and size, thank you CI”
“Love this humidor. Its big, beatiful and works great. The analog hygrometer does not work well, I suggest getting a digital one.”
“you just cant beat this deal. dont even bother with a smaller humidor, you will be wasting your money. it hit 73% on the 2nd day and has been right there ever since. the cedar is thicker than i thought. the hygrometer is dead on(i did the salt test and didnt need to adjust) its more accurate than my digital. and like others said the color is darker than the pics. i couldnt be happier! if you are looking for a humidor buy this one and with the money you are saving order some smokes.”
“Beautiful box - truly a gorgeous furniture addition to any room. The only issues I had were: The humidification magnets do not stick to the wood, nor to the magnets stay attached to the the humidification bars. The bars kept falling off the lid into the box. Also, the analog hygrometer is not real accurate - needed to replace it with a digital unit.”
“Love the humidor. Wood is gorgeous. However, the humidifier bars and the hygrometer supplied with the box are useless. The magnets do not hold. I leave the bars on one of the shelves and augment it with a humidifier crystal jar. I also have a digital hygrometer. Again, the box is gorgeous, just the accessories need some help.”
“After having this humidor for a few months, I thought I needed to give an update to my first review. If your going to purchase a box of this size, then spring for the Humi care Plus humidifier for around $75.00 dollars. I tried to keep this humidor at the correct humidity level with the bead type. Regardless of how I place the over head oval shape one, and jar in bottom, I could not keep it accurate. After placing an order for the electric one, I know longer have to worry about the humidity. All I have to do is remember to refill it once a week, and both the bottom and top hycrometer will stay the same. In addition, I would add at least one fan to keep the air circulated. I'm using a fan at the bottom and at the top, this works great. Since the EH Plus comes with no directions on placement, may I suggest the following. Place in on one side of the humidor, with a divider preventing cigars from closing off the vents. There is a vent at the top, and one on the bottom at the other end. The EH Plus is placed where it can blow toward the side of the humidor, and the divider. The bottom fan then blows toward the middle, with the upper fan moving air toward the top. If you have a better idea, I would love to hear it.”
“I've had the humidor for over a month, and you want beat the price and quality. I use one of the two humidifiers that come with it, then the other humidifiers is the blue long oval one that you purchase from CI. I found it better to use strong velcro for holding the humidifiers, and I have two hygrometers in the box. After performing the salt test, the hygometrer that came with stays right on target. I know this because I also have the digital hygrometer (round) that is also purchased at CI. There is one other hygometer at the bottom of the humidor, in order to see what the bottom reads. The numbers are not off enough to merit another humidor at the bottom. Mine has 8 X 54 down to 4 X 60, but I have never counted how many are in there. What I do know, this was the right humidor for me.”
“Purchased in Feb 2011 and have been very happy with the results. - Large Capacity (says 300 but more like 150-200 w/ 50 ring size) - Low Maintenance when paired with Cigar Oasis XL set at 69% humidity - Found the bottom drawers to be sloppy/loose (Shims would help). - No flaws with the finish... High glossy lacquer like finish. - Fully Cedar Lined, Bottom, Sides, Top. fantastic aroma - Best Value”
“I think this humidor is great. I found some of the negative comments in CI’s Fan Feedback to be accurate: i.e., the draws are too loose (you’d think the manufacturer would spend an additional $5 and improve it and I had problems with one humidification device falling off (the sticky magnets I attached to the device just wouldn’t hold – the ones attached to the lid did). I solved this by substituting two Savoy humidification devices I already had on hand (PS – I think these are the best available anyway). None of this affects my overall opinion of the product. The finish 1s flawless, the capacity is excellent especially if you have some robusto size cigars and lay them crossways at the feet of your larger cigars. After it is seasoned, it holds 69% - 72% humidity with the two Savoy devices mentioned above as well as a Humi-care type jar in the bottom. All humidification devices are filled with a propylene glycol solution. I didn’t use the analog hygrometer enclosed – I have digital devices. I’d recommend this product.”
“Just picked this up and I must say I am pleasantly suprised. You can't find anything close for the price. I will give an update after my sticks have spent some time in their new home. I would not have needed this additional box if I didn't spend so much time at Joe's Daily Deal all the time!!!!”
“This is unreal for the price. Not only does it look great but it is the one you need to age your smokes! I have packed in over 300 in it (5 x 38). What else is there to say but beautfull.”
“Its a good deal for what we paid. I feel with one tray it give lots of room on the bottom. I put in an electronic humifier. There is flaws but nothing to worry about, those items can be adjusted. If you stock coronas you should able too fit 300 cigars.”
“There many flaws but I must admit its nice. I really thought that was a big humi. I've put all R&J. I know there is many I won't smoke. I made many mistakes just because they look. So now space is my number one priority. It be nice to order what I like but I must wait. You really can't beat that price. But its good for starters. I have 8 humidors I should've order one huge box that holds 1500 cigars.I hope this help the rookies in this hobbie.”
“So this is one nice Humidor!! The pictures do not show the true depth of color the wood has. My wife even lets me keep it in the bedroom it looks so good. She wants a matching jewelry box. Wish they made one Now there is a draw back as others have said the humidifiers don’t stick had to go and get Velcro and mount them myself and I wish the drawers where lined with felt the ones at the bottom for lighters and such. ”
“I got this humidor recently, and it seems really great! I can agree with other sentiments about the size of the humidor. I would say it is closer to the 100-150 range if you smoke bigger ring sizes as I do. The humidor is very well made and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this one to any of my friends. At this price, its hard to beat!”
“I've been using an El Diablo for almost two years now. It's a great humidor. It holds temperature and humidity really well and of course, lots of cigars. It's gorgeous and the two accessory drawers are perfect for my cutters and lighters. I would highly recommend it to those in the 150+ cigar range.”
“The humidor is AMAZING! great design I love the bottom drawers for all my lighters and cutter...tons of accessories I have. The space at the bottom is great for my mazos and the floating table is great to keep the cigars you want ready for your smoking disposal. overall the humidor is great looking and design real nice, if anyone is looking is a large humidor this is absolutely without a doubt a great choice.”
“Great looking humidor in Burlwood. Tight seal, seasons easily, and can't beat the cost. I looked! CI does it again with a great product at the best cost.”
“Finally came in after 8 days.... Guess there was some weather issues and a minor train derailment somewhere along the way.. Checked out the box it came in and it was fine, foam still intact and not broken. plastic bag had some wear marks on the corners but it all looked good. Lets get this baby seasoned!! Located all the foam sticky pads scattered about the inside of the Humi and stuck to other things and got those all put on the ends of the dividers. attached the analog hygrometer and stock rectangle humidification squares. Found several bags of chicklets / dehydration baggies and pulled those out. I purchased a Boveda seasoning kit bag and tossed it in and locked it up tight. 14 days..really... until its seasoned, drag but I want to make it last and do it right the first time.. Placed it on my dresser and its a perfect match, but wait.. oh no the front corner laminate just separated and is now stuck to my thumb in a bunch of small slivers...$#!* looks like it was possibly bumped or experienced a minor drop before packaging to send it to me since the packing foam looks good where that area is. So when you get yours I recommend the hand feel test over all the corners and edges before you get as far along as I did.. Its about the size of a pinkie nail blemish squarely on the bottom corner and I guess I'll live with it at this point in the process. Otherwise the lid seals nice heavy and tight and the two bottom drawers are a little loose and would be nice if they were on a rail or track slide but it will work for me. The color is a rich blend of walnut color or tortoise as is a great edition to my bedroom set. Darn corner though...”
