Glass tops just make it that much more difficult to hold a temperature also. Fun to sit and "watch the collection grow" but I would sure avoid any glass. Beads or Pillows are definitely the two best ways to humidify all but the largest cabinet style units where there are practical (and expensive) active options.

Totally disagree. I have three glasstops and the temp doesn't change anymore than my non-glass models.

Thanks again for the advise. Does anyone know anything about the Romeo y Julieta Wine Rack Humidors? They have one at my local Corona Cigar Store for 299.99. See the link - http://www.coronacigar.com/img/img_pid656_cid11.html

You can find just a way better humidor for way cheaper. You can find a vinotemp wine fridge online and shipped to your house cheaper than that. I wouldnt waste the money, my

Amen to that.
Scott's is sitting in my workshop getting it's second round of fixes right now, along with three other glass junkidors. The glass is never properly selaed in inexpensive humis, and they leak like a sieve.
