Whynter CHC123DS 14 inch Freestanding 250-Count Electric Cigar Cooler Humidor with 1.2 cu. ft. Capacity, Enhanced LCD Temperature Display, Internal Fan-Forced Circulation, in Stainless Steel

Whether you are a true cigar aficionado or a casual enthusiast, the Whynter CHC-123DS is an ideal cigar storage system that can help preserve the flavor of your cigars and protect them from pests or other harmful conditions.

Easy to Read Digital Hygrometer

This unit is designed to help store and age cigars within the optimal humidity range 62% to 75% at room temperature. This cigar humidor contains a humidification tray (for use with preferred solution/moisture beads) and equipped with an elegant digital hygrometer which helps monitor the desired level of humidity.

Quiet and Energy Efficient

Having a temperature controlled environment is also critical for discouraging the proliferation of any pests that may be present in the tobacco leaves. The thermoelectric cooling system used here minimizes the drying effect when cooling, relative to the compressor based cooling systems in many refrigeration units.

Spanish Cedar Shelves and Drawer

Furnished with two Spanish Cedar flat shelves and one spacious drawer, the Whynter CHC-123DS helps maintain humidity, emits a light complementary aroma, and helps repel damaging insects.

In addition to its main purpose of storing, preserving, and aging cigars, this Whynter Cigar Humidor is also an attractive and elegant showcase for your prized collection.

• Spacious and elegant
  Stores up to ~250 cigars; stainless-steel‑trimmed glass door, towel‑bar handle, LED light, cedar shelves, and a drawer add both function and style

  Fans run smoothly and quietly (~<40 dBA); low power draw (~70 W) makes it suitable for offices or living rooms
• User-friendly digital control
  LCD display for temperature monitoring and setpoints, plus a digital hygrometer—though adding packs is recommended for precise RH

⚠️ Cons

• Cooling may run warm
  Some users report unit running ~6 °F above setpoint, e.g. reaching ~66 °F when set to 60 °F.
• Humidity tray insufficient alone
  Often needs supplemental Boveda or beads to maintain stable RH above 60 %.
• Drawer and shelf design issues
  Shelves lack side rails—cigars may roll off. Some users reported misaligned drawer slides reducing usable space
• Potential quality flaws
  Packaging damage, minor dents, and inconsistent component quality (e.g. busted humidity tray) have been reported
