Just wanted to know if any of you guys have these humidors...are they the same type and size humidors.
They look the same, but I was more concerned with the size dimensions.
Any help would be appreciated...thanks.

Ed, I've got one of the El Grande's ... I like it, though as is the case with all humidors, the quantity it's advertised to hold is always fewer in my experience since I prefer larger ring-gauge smokes than they must measure them with for the ads ...

I've forgotten the name of the one I have, but it's basically the El Grande with legs.

Nice box. Good seal. Consistent humidity.

My El Grande is stuffed to the max and humidity is perfect (and has been for months) using the included humidifiers... though you'll want to invest in some 3M double-sided tape to keep them (and the hygrometer) attached to the magnets. I wish my other boxes were as good.

I have the El Grande and am very happy with it. IT's nice looking, and the drawers on the bottom are very handy. It seems to hold humidity very well. I have kept mine full and the humidifiers work very well.

gizmo's right about the humidifiers not staying in place ... but IMO, they weren't worth the powder to blow 'em to hell anyway ... I put an Oshkosh unit in mine and it works like a champ ... as for the hygromter, mine looks nice but to tell you the truth, I don't rely on those analog units anyway and taking it out of the lid means more room for cigars ...

Thanks for the info and feedback guys. Does anyone know how they compare in size with The Westminster humidor advertised from a cigar mag from Florida? They look very similar, almost identical except it has a digital hygrometer.
Thanks.
