A mini fridge dies and a humidor is born!

How are you going to keep it at 60F?

Not to worried about temp control. The room it's in has all my humis in it and is the coldest room in the house at any time of year. They usually sit at 65 on their own

I've used a fake-Haier winecooler for 250 or so sticks over the last 10 years. I bought it (Sears, close out) to use in a house with no basement and a summer heat problem; had to keep the a//c running all Spring and Summer just for cigars. I fit it with an on/off temp controller so it stayed +/- 1-degree. Worked great. At the time I tried a lot of humidity strategies but a spray bottle did the job best, a few spritzes/month.

Since moving and keeping the winecoolerdor in a practically perfect basement I keep it plugged up but it rarely comes on (67*). Basement humidity hangs between 60-65 rh so, I figure, it's steadier still inside the box. No fabric, no cedar, no oasis, no beads - just cigar boxes crammed into the racks. I finally tossed the hygrometer because it stayed so steady - just pinch a cigar foot every now and then, always springy, never mushy, no mold, no bugs. No drama. No maintenance.
