10 Best Electric Cigar Humidors of 2025 [We’ve Tested 21]
We just wrapped up 6 months of intense, hands-on testing, all backed by my 20+ years in the hobby. We whittled down our initial list of 37 humidors to the 21 we actually bought and put through the wringer. Our reviews are 100% independent—we bought every single one of these online just like you would, so there were no “golden samples” from manufacturers. After all that, one unit clearly stood out from the pack: the NewAir 250 Count humidor.
Our team put every unit through a gauntlet of tests, focusing on temperature control, the quality of the seal, materials, special features, overall design, and real-world capacity. Before any cigars went in, we seasoned each humidor to a perfect 70% RH and 70 degrees. We don’t test empty; we loaded them up with actual cigars to see how they’d perform under real-world conditions. And to keep things honest, we didn’t trust the built-in hygrometers; we used our own calibrated SMARTRO SC42 Professional Digital Hygrometers to check their accuracy.

Specification
Manufacturer: NewAir;
Country of Origin: China;
Capacity: Up to 250 cigars, depending on the vitola;
Dimensions, W/D/H: 13.6”/19.3”/18.5”;
Power Supply: 110-120 volts;
Ventilation: Yes;
Humidifier: No;
Temperature control: Yes, a digital thermometer;
Materials: Stainless steel, plastic, cedar, and glass;
Hygrometer: Yes, a digital hygrometer;
Key Features: Digital hygrometer. Secure lock. Two cedar shelves and one cedar drawer. Soft LED lighting. Digital temperature control from 52-74F.
I’ve had the NewAir 250 running in my office for about six weeks now, and I’m ready to call it: this thing is the real deal. This humidor is loaded with smart features, but the absolute best one is the digital temperature control. My old apartment gets blazing hot in the summer and freezing in the winter, and this unit’s ability to both heat and cool means my collection is perfectly stable, no matter the season.
I was also completely blown away by the Spanish cedar shelves and drawer. The second you open that glass door, you get hit with that perfect, spicy aroma. It’s not just for show, either; that cedar is doing a ton of work to help the humidor maintain a rock-solid humidity level. The digital hygrometer is bright and easy to read from across the room. Plus, the lock and key feel substantial, not like a cheap toy lock you’d find on a file cabinet.
I gotta be honest, though: the initial seasoning process wasn’t a five-minute job; it took some time and patience to get it right. I also had a bit of a learning curve with the touchscreen temperature panel; it was a little finicky at first. But once I got the hang of it, managing the environment has been a total breeze. My buddy Nolan and I were also impressed by its design—it’s sleek enough to be a freestanding unit on my bookshelf, but it’s also the perfect dimensions to be built-in under a bar.
Here’s the breakdown:
Opti-Temp™ provides top-tier temperature control.
The Spanish cedar shelves and drawer are huge for flavor and humidity stability.
The digital hygrometer gives you quick, accurate readings.
A new lock and key setup offers real protection.
The freestanding or built-in design works in pretty much any space.
In conclusion, even with that initial setup hurdle, my experience with the NewAir 250 Count has been overwhelmingly positive. This is a solid investment in protecting my cigar collection, and I’d absolutely recommend it to any other aficionado who’s serious about their sticks.
- Maintains temperature and humidity
- Spanish cedar shelves
- Quiet operation
- Limited shelf spacing

I pulled the trigger on this Redford Lite humidor about three years ago, and it has been an absolute workhorse for me. The main draws were its massive 1,250-cigar capacity and the electronic climate control, which has been flawless at keeping my sticks in perfect condition. That Spanish cedar lining is no joke, either—the aroma is incredible. I went with the Black Oak matte finish, and it just looks mean (in a good way) in my study.
The interior layout is what really seals the deal. It comes with four drawer-style shelves, but two of them are angled so I can display my favorite boxes, and the other two are flat, which is perfect for stacking. There’s also a sliding tray at the very bottom that I use for all my loose singles.
The door on this thing is heavy-duty. The tinted glass means I don’t have to worry about sunlight ruining my wrappers, and it has a “de-mist” feature that really works, which is a lifesaver in my humid part of the country. The touchscreen panel on top is where you control everything, making it simple to set the temperature (41-71°F) and humidity (56-78% RH). The built-in LED lighting just makes the whole collection glow.
Now, it’s not perfect. My only real complaint is that the slimmer width is starting to feel a bit limiting. My collection has… well, it’s grown, and it’s getting a little tight in there. I might have to start looking at the Raching C380A if I keep buying boxes. But honestly, for keeping a large collection safe and fresh, the Redford Lite is a fantastic choice, even if I’m pushing its limits.
- Impressive storage capacity
- Perfect humidity and temperature control
- Sturdy, well-built construction
- Slimmer width can be limiting

3. Clevelander Electric Cabinet Humidor
⭐Verdict: Best Overall (90%)
Specification
Manufacturer: Prestige Import Group;
Country of Origin: China;
Capacity: Up to 250 cigars, depending on the vitola;
Dimensions, W/D/H: 14″/20″/19″;
Power Supply: 110-120 volts;
Ventilation: No;
Humidifier: Humidification tray;
Temperature control: Thermoelectric cooling system (adjustable between 51°F – 64°F);
Materials: Stainless steel body, tempered glass door, cedar drawers;
Hygrometer: Digital glass hygrometer with batteries (displays in Celsius and Fahrenheit);
Key Features: LED interior lighting. Electronic control panel. Freestanding with adjustable feet. One-year manufacturer’s guarantee.
I’ve been using this Clevelander Electric Cabinet since 2019, and it’s been one of the most reliable pieces of tech I own. It’s got a clean stainless steel exterior and a big glass door, giving it a modern look that blends right in with my other bar appliances.
Inside, it claims to hold 250 cigars, and I’ve had it packed. The three removable sliding trays are great for organization and even fit entire cigar boxes. The thermoelectric cooling system is whisper-quiet and keeps the temp stable in that 51°F-64°F range. It also comes with a little digital hygrometer that snaps into the middle drawer (it’s battery-powered) and can display the temp in either Celsius or Fahrenheit.
I do have some gripes, though. The setup instructions it came with were basically useless, and the first time I had to replace the hygrometer battery, it was a real pain. Here’s my pro tip: ignore the included water tray and just buy Boveda packs. It makes stabilizing the humidity a thousand times easier, and you can let it sit for a few days to get it perfect before loading your cigars.
The water reservoir at the bottom does work, but it’s just more maintenance. The best part is the simple electronic control panel on the front, which makes it easy to adjust the temperature or flick on the interior light. It’s not tiny, but it’s not heavy, and it’s been a great, no-fuss humidor for me.
- Good seal on doors
- Sturdy construction
- Maintains consistent humidity
- Shelves don’t slide easily

4. Schmécké Electronic Humidor
⭐Verdict: Best Overall (90%)
Specification
Manufacturer: Schmecke;
Country of Origin: China;
Capacity: Up to 400 Churchill cigars;
Dimensions, W/D/H: 16.93″/17.72″/29.13″;
Power Supply: 120 V / 60 Hz;
Ventilation: High-powered fan for air circulation;
Humidifier: Distilled water reservoir;

Key Features: Smoked glass door blocking UV rays. Soft built-in light. User-friendly digital control panel. Quiet compressor. Airtight seal.
My friend Maren and I got to test out the Schmécké 3-in-1 Humidor, and we were both seriously impressed. This thing is a beast, built to hold up to 400 Churchill-sized cigars, and it does an amazing job keeping them all in an ideal, stable environment.
Here’s what really caught our attention: First, it’s incredibly easy to operate. The digital panel on the front makes adjusting the temperature and humidity a total breeze. Second, it has a killer design. That stainless trim and tinted glass door make it look high-end in any room. Third, the Spanish cedar interior is top-notch. The premium shelves and drawers don’t just lock in flavor; they’re also the best defense against cigar beetles.
I will say, this thing is a tank. It weighs 48.5 lbs empty, so it was definitely a two-person job to get it into place. Don’t expect to move it around often.
But even with that heavy build, the Schmécké cooler’s compressor is dead silent. I mean, zero-vibration. You don’t have to worry about it rattling your cigars or making a racket in a quiet room. This thing has all the right features, a ton of space, and looks fantastic. It’s a home run for any cigar fanatic.
- Whisper-quiet, zero-vibration compressor
- Spanish cedar interior
- UV protection (smoked glass door)
- Precise temperature and humidity control
- Heavy weight

5. Needone 23L Electronic Cigar Humidor
⭐Verdict: Best Overall (90%)
Specification
Manufacturer: Needone;
Country of Origin: China;
Capacity: Up to 150 cigars;
Dimensions, W/D/H: 21.26″/12.4″/22.05″;
Power Supply: 120 V;
Ventilation: Yes;
Humidifier: Included water cup for humidity control;
Temperature control: Cooling and heating options available;
Materials: Metal, cedar shelves, tempered glass door;
Hygrometer: Electronic hygrometer;
Key Features: Quiet operation. Stylish design. Internal light. Consistent humidity and temperature. Cedar shelves.
I was lucky enough to get this humidor as a gift from my buddy Reid. It’s obviously designed for someone who is serious about the hobby, and it’s loaded with top-tier features. It has both heating and cooling (from 54°F to 74°F), which is critical. The interior is all unpainted Spanish cedar, which smells incredible and really enhances the cigars’ flavor. It also has a 360-degree circulating air system to make sure the temperature and humidity are uniform from top to bottom.
The build quality on this thing is really impressive. The door is a double-layer hollow tempered glass, which does a great job of isolating the inside from external heat. The digital touchscreen is sharp and super easy to use. And I can barely tell when it’s running; its noise level is so low (≤38 dB) that it’s perfect for my quiet home office.
I was able to comfortably fit about 130 loose sticks in there, thanks to the 2 adjustable shelves and the 1 drawer at the bottom. The only negative I found was that the hygrometer that’s built into the cedar drawer just doesn’t seem to be as accurate as I’d like.
In conclusion, this humidor is an excellent storage solution. Even with that one minor issue with the hygrometer, it’s a fantastic piece of gear.
- Spanish cedar shelves
- Precise temp control
- UV protection (smoked glass door)
- Poor shelf sliding mechanism

⭐Verdict: Best Overall (90%)
Specification
Manufacturer: Whynter;
Country of Origin: China;
Capacity: Up to 250 cigars;
Dimensions, W/D/H: 13.5″/20″/18″;
Power Supply: 110V / 60Hz;
Ventilation: Equipped with a fan for air circulation;
Humidifier: Built-in humidification system;
Temperature control: Adjustable temperature settings;
Materials: Stainless steel with Spanish cedar shelves and drawer;
Hygrometer: Analog;
Key Features: Touch control panel. Glass door. Interior LED light. Quiet operation. Easy set-up and maintenance.
We just recently got our hands on this Whynter model. It’s a sharp-looking, freestanding humidor that says it has a 250+ cigar capacity, which is more than enough for the average collector. It does a great job maintaining humidity (in the 62%-75% range) and comes with an analog hygrometer and a humidity tray.
I’m a huge fan of the thermoelectric cooling system. It’s really energy-efficient, it keeps pests out, and it’s much better at preventing cigars from drying out than some compressor units I’ve used. Because it’s packed with Spanish cedar shelves and a roomy drawer, it gives off that perfect, subtle aroma every time you open it.
The features we liked:
- 1.2 cu. ft. capacity
- Vibration-free cooling
- A clear LCD temperature display
- An adjustable thermostat (52°F-65°F)
The one minor drawback for me is the analog hygrometer. I know some people like the classic look, but I just don’t trust them and would much rather have a digital one.
- Stylish design
- Easy set up, maintains humidity
- Adequate storage
- Nice black with stainless finishes
- Bright door light at night
- Door must open 180 degrees to slide shelves

7. Reagan Electronic Cigar Cabinet
⭐Verdict: Best Overall (90%)
Specification
Manufacturer: Prestige Import Group;
Country of Origin: China;
Capacity: Up to 4,000 cigars;
Dimensions, W/D/H: 53″/26″/74.25″;
Power Supply: 110 V;
Ventilation: Auxiliary fan for moisture distribution;
Humidifier: Yes;

Hygrometer: Digital;
Key Features: 12 drawer style shelves on metal slides. Removable cedar trays with dividers. White LED lighting. 1-year parts & labor warranty. Lock and key set.
About a year ago, I was visiting my friend Desmond, and his father, a massive collector, has this Reagan cabinet. It’s not just a humidor; it’s a stunning, luxurious piece of furniture. We were all blown away by its features.
First off, the storage capacity is just insane. It holds 4,000 cigars, making it perfect for someone with a truly epic collection. It’s equipped with twelve drawer-style shelves on smooth metal slides, and they all have adjustable dividers. He said organizing his huge inventory is actually easy.
The best feature, by far, is the dual-zone climate control. It has individual temperature and humidity controls for each side of the cabinet, so he can keep his aging sticks on one side and his ready-to-smoke on the other. The built-in humidifier and the heating/cooling systems ensure his cigars are always in pristine condition.
And the design is just gorgeous. It has a deep cherry wood finish, detailed wood side panels, and these big, decorative brass handles that make it look like a sophisticated antique. The white LED lights run top-to-bottom, lighting up the whole interior.
However, he did point out a few drawbacks:
He said the humidity readings were not calibrated correctly when it arrived, so it required some initial adjustment.
A few users online believe it might not be the absolute best cabinet out there, but he agrees it definitely meets or exceeds all his expectations.
The built-in humidification system can sometimes be a little finicky.
Despite those small issues, the Reagan Electronic Cigar Humidor is still a fantastic option for a serious collector, mainly due to its beautiful design and absolutely massive storage capacity.
- Large storage capacity
- Long-lasting performance
- Built-in LED lighting
- Sturdy, solid construction
- Excellent storage organization
- Manual adjustments required

8. NewAir 840 Count Cigar Humidor
⭐Verdict: Best Overall (90%)
Specification
Country of Origin: China;
Capacity: Up to 840 cigars;
Dimensions, W/D/H: 23.62”/19.01”/32.3”;
Power Supply: 110-120 volts;
Ventilation: Yes;
Humidifier: Built-in humidification system;
Temperature control: Opti-Temp, adjustable between 54 and 72 degrees;
Materials: Spanish cedar drawers, double-paned glass doors;
Hygrometer: Yes;
Key Features: Built-in humidification system. Spanish cedar drawers. LED spotlights. Double-paned glass doors.
My buddy Nolan has owned this humidor since 2021, so I’ve seen it in action for a while now. Its most impressive feature is the built-in humidification system. It just takes care of the moisture levels for him, which he says is a total game-changer after years of using Boveda packs.
With its XL capacity, this thing is a beast. It can hold up to 840 cigars, making sure he’ll (probably) never run out of space for his collection. But there’s more: the Opti-Temp feature gives him precise temperature control (both heating and cooling), and the Spanish cedar drawers, lit up by the LED spotlights, make his collection look like a display in a high-end lounge.
Despite its many strengths, the one drawback we found is the humidor’s weight. At 81.4 pounds empty, it’s not something you can just slide around. It was a real project to get it into his man cave.
In summary, the NewAir 840 Count is a top-notch choice. It offers incredible climate control, a massive amount of space, and a sleek, modern design—even if it is a bit of a tank. Our whole group absolutely recommends it.
- Large capacity
- Bright LED lighting
- Attractive design, cedar scent
- Accurate temperature managment
- Quite loud for some users
- Clunky humidifier filling

9. Raching C230A Electronic Humidor Cabinet
⭐Verdict: Best Overall (90%)
Specification
Manufacturer: Raching;
Country of Origin: China;
Capacity: Up to 900 cigars;
Dimensions, W/D/H: 23.62″ /24″/48″;
Power Supply: 110-120 V;
Ventilation: 360-degree air cooling, top and bottom fans, air vents on each shelf;
Humidifier: Yes;
Temperature control: Single-core cooling system, temperature setting range 59°-77°F;
Materials: Solid wood, Spanish cedar interior lining, tempered glass door;
Hygrometer: LCD touchscreen displaying temperature and humidity readings;
Key Features: Microclimate system. Humidity precision ±3%. Spanish cedarwood shelves. Secure lock on the tempered glass door. Ceramic PTC heater.
My grandfather owns this absolute unit. It’s made from imported Spanish cedarwood, and it’s beautiful. This cabinet can hold an impressive 800-900 cigars, making it perfect for both his long-term aging collection and his regular rotation.
The C230A is just amazing at keeping cigars fresh; it creates a perfect little microclimate inside. It uses a single-core refrigeration system that’s designed to eliminate frost and condensation and keeps the humidity levels within ±3%—which is just ridiculously precise for any weather.
I was amazed by how well this system circulates the air. It has fans at the top and bottom, and every single shelf has air vents. It’s constantly sensing the temperature and humidity to make sure every cigar is in peak condition. The cedar (which is great at absorbing moisture) also helps regulate the humidity and prevents the glass door from fogging up.
It’s important to note, however, that the C230A is incredibly heavy. It weighs 185 lbs, so once you set it up, it’s not moving. It also only comes in black or brown, which might not fit everyone’s decor.
The best feature, in my opinion, is the rimless tempered double-glass door. It has a secure lock and a built-in LCD touchscreen. This cool screen shows the temperature and humidity, so you don’t ever have to open the door and mess up the environment just to check on your sticks.
- Very large capacity
- Spanish cedarwood construction
- Advanced microclimate system
- 360-degree air cooling
- Accurate humidity sensors
- LCD touchscreen display
- Secure, tempered glass door
- Expensive

10. Whynter CHC-421HC Humidor
⭐Verdict: Best Overall (90%)
Specification
Manufacturer: Whynter;
Country of Origin: China;
Capacity: Up to 650 cigars;
Dimensions, W/D/H: 19.5″/22.84″/30″ H;
Power Supply: 110V / 60Hz;
Ventilation: Dual internal fan-forced circulation;
Humidifier: Humidity tray;
Temperature control: Adjustable thermostat 64ºF – 72ºF;
Materials: Stainless steel, tempered glass, Spanish cedar;
Hygrometer: Digital hygrometer
Key Features: Noise level of <45 dBa. Eco-friendly R600a refrigerant. Security lock and key. Spanish cedar drawers and shelves. Soft interior LED lighting.
We recently got our hands on the Whynter 4.2 cu.ft. cabinet cooler. It’s a perfect unit for both cigar pros and more casual smokers, as it does a fantastic job of keeping your cigars tasting great and safe from damage.
First off, this humidor has a really nice and sophisticated design. Its adjustable digital hygrometer (which you can set from 65% – 75%) and adjustable thermostat (64°F – 72°F) provide the optimal storage conditions for your collection.
Here’s what we found impressive:
4.2 cu. ft. capacity, holding up to 650+ cigars.
Freestanding setup.
An eco-friendly compressor cooling system.
Spanish cedar drawers and shelves.
Activated carbon filters to eliminate any weird odors.
But we did identify two drawbacks. The humidor’s storage is definitely designed more for loose cigars, so it has limited space for collectors who prefer keeping cigars in their original boxes. Additionally, we’ve heard reports from some users about inconsistencies in the built-in thermostat and hygrometer readings.
In our experience, however, the Whynter humidor absolutely delivered on its promise of maintaining steady temperature and humidity levels. It has dual fan-forced circulation, which ensures the air is distributed evenly. The Spanish cedar drawers not only helped maintain humidity but also gave off that pleasant aroma that we all love. We also liked the security lock and key for peace of mind.
- Good air circulation
- Expandable with extra drawers
- Ease of use
- The space is not too big
- Inaccurate thermostat, hygrometer

How Did We Rate the Coolers and Wineadors Here?
Here’s a breakdown of the criteria we used to rate every humidor on this list:
Temperature Control
This was our NO.1 priority. A stable temperature is non-negotiable for cigar quality. We tested each unit’s power to hold a set temp, even when we messed with the room’s thermostat. We logged the set temperature versus the actual temperature (using our own sensors) to see which ones fluctuated and which were rock-solid.
Seal
An airtight seal is everything. It’s the difference between a stable environment and a leaky one that will wreck your cigars. We meticulously inspected every door seal on every unit to ensure there were no gaps and that humidity was perfectly locked in.
Materials Used
What a humidor is made of directly impacts its durability and its ability to hold humidity. We went over every unit with a fine-toothed comb—from the casing and insulation to the shelving—and gave high marks to humidors that used quality materials and felt built to last.
Design
Look, aesthetics aren’t everything, but a good-looking humidor is a plus. We judged each one on its visual appeal—did it look cheap or premium?—and its practical design. We considered things like the quality of the display window, how useful the interior lighting was, and how easy it was to get to our cigars.
Capacity
Every collector needs a different amount of space. We tested a wide range of sizes, from small desktop models to massive cabinets, to make sure we had a recommendation for everyone, whether you’re a casual smoker or a full-blown connoisseur.
Why Buy a Thermoelectric Humidor?
An electric humidor has some serious advantages over your grandpa’s old wooden box. First, it gives you way better temperature and humidity control, letting you dial in the exact settings to keep your sticks in perfect condition.
This is a total game-changer if you live somewhere with wild temperature swings. It just plain keeps things consistent for your cigars.
Second, electric humidors are built to handle larger collections. They usually have multiple shelves, drawers, and compartments. This means you can actually organize your collection, show it off properly, and even age specific cigars for the long haul.
Finally, an electric humidor is often packed with advanced features, like digital hygrometers, thermoelectric cooling, and interior lighting. These make your life easier, work better, and just give you a superior experience all around.
In short, investing in an electric cigar humidor gives your collection better protection, while also adding a level of convenience and class to your hobby.
If you’re traveling, you should invest in cigar humidors and travel humidors to keep your cigars fresh. We recommend the best cigar travel humidors.
