Question about cigar oasis?

smokester

I am looking at getting one of these and was wondering if it will work in my Havanna foot locker. I know they have a skinny strip that allows it to go under the lid without ruining the seal my question is how long is this strip. Is it long enough to where i can have it sitting at the bottom of my foot locker thanks.

I think the strip is about 8 - 9 inches long. I built a little pedestal for mine in the coolerdors. the pedestal is made of spanish cedar and allows cigars to sit underneath and around the oasis but keeps them from sitting on top of it so that the air can circulate.

Ya thats what i was thinking about doing i have a divider that came with it and i was thinking about cutting that and sliding it sideways to make a little shelf.

Cigar smoking almost always leads to carpentry.

Haha one of me and my friends project we want to do is build a cabinet humidor we will see if that happens. The only thing that is stopping me from getting one right now is the price just kinda expensive for my budget at a 100 dollars.

I am using beads and they are working great the only thing i like about the cigar oasis is that i would not have to worry about it since i am going on a lot of trips this summer. Its just the convenience factor.

Not sure how humid it is where you are but to be honest with you, in the summer the cigar oasis is more work than the beads. In the winter its great but in the summer you need somethign that will stabilize your humidor more than you need somethign that will supply additional humidity. In the summer my coolerador has the oasis and beads.

Its pretty dang humid in houston really so it does not hold the humidity well? Wont it just stay at the humidity that you put it at.

No there is nothing in it to absorb excess humidity.

smokester

Could you just put some uncharged beads in to soak up the excess.

Those are AWESOME, they just get expensive. Thats what I used when I first bought a humidor and they held 72% right on the money all the time but you are just constantly buying them.
