Re: Thermoelectric Coolers
Thermoelectric systems (or any other heating / cooling system) in a humidor give you precise temperature control. But, they make it much harder to maintain the desired relative humidity. So, you’d probably also need a humidification system that runs on a humidistat.
How big a humidor are you talking about? You can buy a small thermoelectric wine cooler for less than that. |

Re: Thermoelectric Coolers
Is the Aristocrat unti solely a cooling unit or also a humidifier?

Re: Thermoelectric Coolers
Manny, you’re talking about spending more on environmental control than on the box. If you did a poll of the members here, very few worry about temperature control. We do worry about relative humidity.
As long as your humidor is going to be in a room where the people are comfy, I’d skip temperature control. My 2 cents. |

Re: Thermoelectric Coolers
Yup, I've had a large Aristocrat without temperature control (just the Set & Forget humidification system) since 2007, and my cigars have been fine.
What region of Cali are you in, Manny?

Re: Thermoelectric Coolers
Gotcha. I keep my house temp at 70* for the summer so that I don't have the need for temperature control in the humidor.

Re: Thermoelectric Coolers
Since you are looking at an Aristocrat cooling unit, give Bob Staebell, the owner, a call. Super nice guy and will not lead your astray.

Re: Thermoelectric Coolers
As far as the cooling units themselves, I had Bob install two in my Aristocrat when he built it (I live in the desert). The cabinet is going on thirteen years old now and I've never had a problem with it.
