Appearance
At first glance you might think you have a big fat humidor on top of the small table, but no! It is a one-piece humidor with beautiful wavy legs and bottom linings that make it feel light. The dense high lacquer rosewood burl finish gives a simply fantastic shade, and it is impossible to take your eyes off of the humidor! Both the top and the front have solid glass for easy viewing of your cigar collection.
In my opinion, the glass front panel is not very well done and stands out from the beautiful bard color The manufacturer could have come up with a more elegant solution, and instead of making the shelf without the front panel and the cigars would have been better viewed. In addition, very beautifully executed in the gold color lock and key, piano hinges, handles, and other paraphernalia. But this is a minor quibble.
Trays, shelves, and dividers
Of course, they are made of quality cedar wood, there is no doubt. Plenty of room for storing cigars as singles and boxes with two Spanish cedar trays with two dividers each have convenient cutouts and are easy to insert and remove. At the very bottom, there is a drawer with two dividers and it holds one large rectangle humidifier which of course is good for nothing and you have to change them anyway.
Hygrometer and Humidifiers
The kit comes with an analog hygrometer and three large rectangle humidifiers which are almost useless. The first has an insane margin of error (replace with a digital hygrometer), and the latter doesn’t hold humidifiers well (replace with an electronic humidifier like the Cigar Oasis). As we said in previous reviews, these cigar accessories are just there to add value to the product and increase sales, but this humidor is worth it even with these cheap accessories, and here’s why.
SureSeal Technology
With this patented technology the lid of the humidor always closes tightly without air escaping from the inside of the humidor. Also, the disease of many cheap humidors is bad joints (guide about sealants to help). But this humidor laughs the competition in the eye and does the right thing: all joints are glued and made very accurately and tightly and allow to keep a stable 72% RH (we used Boveda Packs). What else do you need from such a pretty boy?
Capacity
And the best thing about this humidor is its enormous capacity. Because of its width, a lot of boxes of cigars can fit in the bottom drawers and it is better to leave space on top for single cigars, this way it will be more beautiful and aesthetically pleasing.
What didn’t you like about Supreme Geneve Humidor?
Sometimes delivery fails and the legs of this wonderful product break, although the company has been trying to improve the quality of deliveries for the past two years Another problem with the legs: the insertion holes sometimes don’t match. How? Why? Quality control suffers and that is a matter of luck. The hygrometer and humidifiers… well you get the idea. Don’t hesitate to replace them. Otherwise, it is a great gift for a man for Father’s Day, I can tell you, the birthday boy will be very pleased!
Verdict
The Supreme Geneve Humidor is probably the best wooden humidor in the price range of $400 – $500. The excellent workmanship, the deep, thick lacquer that emphasizes the depth of the bard color of the humidor combined with the large interior space: all make Supreme Geneve a top humidor. Yes, sometimes the workmanship suffers, but the company draws conclusions and tries for its customers, and we thank them for their responsiveness and quality product.
Seth’s Humidor is recommended.
