My humidor has betrayed me!!

Reason #148 to just get a coolidor, and scrap the idea of owning anything nice in terms of a desktop humidor. That wood looks like it was a soup kitchen for termites. Sorry about your loss Randy, but I would contact cigar auction and see what they have to say....i'm curious is to how this will turn out! You might want to take some high resolution pics and include them in an email to their customer support team.

I dont really think you have to scrap the idea of owning "anything nice in terms of a desktop" just because of one situation. I would say this is the exception, not the rule.

Many guys here have beautiful desktops that they have owned for years.

Very true! But I might add, that for every decent desktop humidor, there are twice as many inadequate models that do a terrible job at humidifying cigars. You get what you pay for certainly....but I don't think it's coincidental that most CA members in here highly recommend scrapping a traditional desktop humidor in favor of a bag of beads and a $50.00 cooler

If they make good let me know. I'll be happy to take the broken one off your hands and even slip you a buck or few to even out your loss.

I need a second unit frankly, and got no issue with fixing one.

Drop me a PM if it all goes to Hades!

Most guys recommend scrapping a traditional desktop because of how quickly you can outgrow a humidor in this hobby.

Most guys go way too small when purchasing their first humidor, and quickly move on to a larger model, and when that is quickly outgrown they look for larger options.

Coolers are cost effective, durable, and typically have excellent seals, but can be bit of an eyesore. Desk-tops look nice, but are uni-taskers, typically more expensive, fragile (as in this case) and can have issues holding humidity.
