My next question is why the need for electric?
There are many wine fridges that people have used for storage but my understanding is they mostly just control temp. I have used a non working wine fridge in the past for additional storage with no issues. They also make electric humidification that work ok. Can be used in regular humidor or wine fridge. Aristocrat offers Coversion kits to handle humiliation and or humidity for some humidors. Unless your wanting something super fancy a humidor is just a box that hold humidity. I would check marketplace fir a used broken wine fridge and get a good electric humidification system unless where you put it gets too warm for the cigars.
We live in CO so humidity and dry heat fluctuates. Reason I’m looking towards electric is because from my understanding (this advice was given to me by our local Cigar store) it takes less to keep maintained where as lets say a boxed humidor takes more time to maintain.
I want something that’s easy to keep maintained.. because my husband is disabled a lot of the daily household stuff is my responsibility so this would be one more thing to keep maintained. I’m kept pretty busy with my husband’s care, plus errands etc etc so I want a humidor that my husband can throw his cigars in that doesn’t need a whole lot of babysitting and hand holding if that makes sense… i do know any humidor we do purchase whether it’s electric or not electric isn’t completely hands free maintenance.
I really appreciate your suggestion.. I’ve heard of some people taking wine coolers or old beverage fridges and converting them into a cigar humidor but I always wondered if would ruin the cigars later on down the road..
I’ll do a deeper dive into you suggestion! Thanks so much!
