The way to go! in my review

Am using this humidifier in a Onyx Lacquer High Gloss Black Humidor from Prestige Import Group. Easy to fill and simple to attach. Much better than the sponge provided. Humidity is spot on!

Pros
  • Perfect for high-quality cigars
Cons
  • The gel can be difficult to remove from the humidor without damaging it

This Humidifier Could Not Do The Job

I have been trying to keep my humidor to at least 65% humidity. I was using the 100 Cigar Humidifier as well and it could not keep the humidity at 65%. I acquired the 250 Cigar humidifier and it seems to work.

Pros
  • Can be used with any type of cigar
Cons
  • The gel can evaporate too quickly in low humidity environments

Great little humidifier

Great little humidifier, better quality than some of the others I've seen. I've had another brand crack on the bottom, and leak solution in my humidor. That's a non-issue with the Xikar units, buy with confidence. I will soon be ordering the larger unit as my cigar count grows.

Pros
  • Ensures cigars stay fresh and flavorful
Cons
  • Can be difficult to keep the gel from touching the cigars

great product. good for me

Great product does exactly what it's supposed to do. The only thing I don't like is it doesn't hold liquid for long. That's my review.

Pros
  • Never let your humidifier go dry again!!
Cons
  • May not be suitable for use with certain types of cigars

Great product! on my review.

This is a great product, kit is complete with magnetic self stick attachment. I bought 2 one for each humidor I own. They hold up very well, aka my refill time is about 2-3 weeks. Simple fast and no mess.

Pros
  • Crystal gel technology ensures consistent and long-lasting humidity control
Cons
  • The gel can evaporate too slowly in cold environments

Recommended! best in my review

I realized that an old wooden box I'd had for years was actually an old humidor, except I'd used it for old pictures. With the simple addition of this humidifier and an analog hygrometer, I now have a very functional and classic humidor. It keeps my cigars at a constant level of humidity, and I only have to refill it every month or so. Very easy to install and use. I highly recommend.

Pros
  • Helps prevent the growth of mold and bacteria
Cons
  • Can be difficult to control how much humidity is released

Not too convincing best in my review

The instructions say it comes already Pre-hydrated with the solution and ready to use, but my humidity level has totally gone down. I've had this in use for three days and so far the humidity inside my cigar box has gone down to 64%. Maybe I need to buy the liquid it needs to refill this.

Pros
  • easy to use ... magnet failed once
Cons
  • May not humidify evenly

Thicker than Xikar advertises

I'm sure the product works fine, but it's thicker than Xikar advertises on their own website. They advertise it as 1/2" thick but in reality, it is 3/4" thick without the magnet. I was purchasing this to put in a 20 cigar humidor for my son. That 1/4" in extra thickness makes this humidifier unusable for me. Now I have to spend more money to buy one that will work and I'm stuck with a humidifier I don't need. I wish these idiot manufacturers would learn how to measure!

Pros
  • Can be used with different types of humidors
Cons
  • Can be difficult to clean up spilled gel

Works great! good for me

Great humidifier! I only have to refill or resoak the beads every 2-3 months. Keeps the humidity levels in my humidor at a constant level. Very low maintenance. Highly recommended!

Pros
  • Great product
Cons
  • May not be suitable for use in large cigar humidors

only getting 60% in my review

I bought 2 of these and both of them will only get to 60% humidity. I put a cheap water filled humidifier in the box and it went to 70% over night. Not Happy with these.

Pros
  • Love this product and plan to purchase additional in the near future for a guest house humidor..
Cons
  • May need regular maintenance to keep it in good working condition

Works Great on my review.

Just bought my first humidor and was told by a coworker that xikar is the best, so I chose this one. Very pleased. The gel can be difficult to work with in low light conditions.

Pros
  • Can be used in humidors of any size
Cons
  • The gel can be difficult to work with in low light conditions
