A Guide to Buying Electric Cigar Humidors 2024

For committed cigar enthusiasts, a quality humidor is a must. Cigars need to be stored at (or near) a specific humidity level and temperature. Without a good humidor to regulate humidity and temperature, even the most premium cigars will lose their flavor profile, deteriorate in quality, and — in the worst cases — become unsmokable. If you’re looking for a serious humidor upgrade, you’ve come to the right place. Check out our guide to electric humidors — the best option for long-term, substantial cigar storage.

What Are Electric Humidors?

Electric humidors are large, electronically controlled, and often expensive storage units for cigars. However, as the old adage goes, price is usually a reflection of value. While a classic humidor is better than nothing, it isn’t as easy to monitor as an electric humidor. Unlike other options, the electric humidor allows you to not only set the humidity but the temperature as well. Not to mention, electric cigar humidors tend to be much larger and more organized, allowing you to safely store many (i.e., hundreds of) cigars at once. 

Here are a few of our favorites:

NewAir 250 Count Thermoelectric Humidor

While the NewAir 250 Count Thermoelectric Humidor is perfect for any cigar connoisseur, it’s especially useful for those of you who live in hot climates. This humidor offers a unique heating and cooling system called Opti-Temp, which allows for exact temperature control.

Made with elegant stainless steel, removable shelves, and a digital thermostat, this model is sure to preserve your cigars at their full flavor and serve as an excellent addition to your home.

Needone 23L Electronic Cigar Humidor

As far as electric cigar humidors go, the Needone 23L Electronic Cigar Humidor is on the lower end of the price spectrum. This model utilizes an air-closed loop circulation and a built-in fan to maintain ideal humidity levels and airflow. Despite its fan technology, the Needone 23L operates quietly — and looks sleek while doing it. And it has room for 150 cigars. What can we say, you need one . . . get it?

Redford Lite Electric Humidor Cabinet

Boasting a massive capacity of 1,250 cigars, the Redford Lite Electric Humidor Cabinet is a top-of-the-line, full-sized electric humidor. Features include a reservoir humidifier, adjustable temperature controls, and condensation control. We also love the adjustable oak and cedar trays and dividers. Note, we’d only recommend a humidor of this size and quality for serious collectors since this is the most expensive model on our list.

Price: $2,145.00

KingChii 16L Electric Cigar Humidor

KingChii humidors have become increasingly popular among cigar enthusiasts in recent years, and their 16L model does a good job of explaining why. Thanks to its smart look, dual humidification and refrigeration functionality, and touch-screen compatibility, the KingChii 16L offers cigar lovers an electronic humidor upgrade at a reasonable price.

Cigar Oasis Ultra 3.0 Electronic Humidifier

The Cigar Oasis Ultra 3.0 Electronic Humidifier offers a much smaller option — ideal for cigar lovers with limited space. This desktop humidor measures 7 inches by 2.5 inches and fits between 50 and 150 cigars. The Cigar Oasis Ultra 3.0 displays humidity, humidity set point, temperature, and low water alerts right on the front and is equipped with both a sensor-controlled fan and a pre-treated water cartridge. With a tasteful design, a mounted lid, and a slim shape, this desktop humidor not only keeps your cigars in tip-top shape — it's a great addition to your desk decor.
