Sealed environment is the way to go. Any desktop will leak. I have a high end unit, it still needs attention st least monthly. The cheap Chinese ones you be better off with Ziploc bag My most stable humidor is a large Pelican case. I hadn't opened it since August. Blind review thing came up so I had to dig around. Hydrometer reading 65% 54F.
Strongly recommend against buying a desktop for utility purposes. If just for show and constant stock rotation, fine. But they're not going to protect your cigars without constant attention.
True..........but I do have a large Watts desktop, and the seal is dang near perfect.
Yes they're spendy........and haven't been made for many years........but it's as good as any cooler.
I havn't had to do anything for years.
My Ashton desktop is decent, needs. Bovedas recharged occasionally.
The combo of beads and Bovedas is the way to go for me.
But then I'm also fortunate that the temps and rh in my house are always cigar friendly, so I'm sure that helps.
