Case Elegance KOBI Humidor | Review

Entry-level desktop humidors tend to look and function the same. Bucking that trend is Case Elegance, which also goes by Klaro. The company sells a variety of humidors in the $100-250 price point that have different features than most humidors at that price point.
The KOBI ($129.99) is a modern-looking humidor with a more advanced humidification system than most at this price point and a drawer for your lighters and cutters. Case Elegance makes a lot of claims about how its humidors are better than the competition, after purchasing two of these, we have some answers to whether or not those bold claims are true.

I had one of these. It’s beautiful and the construction was fantastic. I replaced the gel crystals with a 2 way bead. My biggest issue with it was if you filled it with a couple layers of cigars, the moisture would get trapped in the bottom. I put one WiFi hygrometer at the top and one at the bottom and they were dramatically different. And yes they are calibrated. And it really didn’t hold very many cigars. I ended up gifting it to my nephew and recommended bovida packs. He’s just starting out and loves it. Again, extremely nice for the price but I wouldn’t buy it again. I have the green military looking humidor as well. It’s even nicer but has the same humidity issues with the placement of the tray. Oh, and both are really annoying when you have to remove 50 cigars to refill the tray. If you buy one just make sure you rotate your sticks every week. Otherwise you’ll get wet cigars on the bottom and dry on top.

This is a great humidor to have on display. Office, home bar, den, man cave, etc. A great place to store and show off the best in your collection. So much nicer looking than the veneer shoeboxes everyone makes. The drawer is very useful for keeping accessories in one place and organized. Truth is, most people will eventually outgrow a desktop. Klaro now has tabletop cabinets, but I’m afraid even they seem too small. Keep all the $8-10?crap cigars your cheapo friends give you in a tupperdore. Use this for the best ones you buy yourself. The bottom tray is a pain. If it’s tightly packed, a few humidity packs thrown in top evens it out. There really is a niche for larger volume glass-tops that aren’t junk. Until then.. maybe Klaro can make a larger version with removable tray. Excellent company BTW

Case elegance makes nice humidors but the only problem is their qc. I bought one that had cracked cedar interior and a misaligned lid. I returned it and the other one i got is perfect.

Winter/ dry fluid is an interesting idea. Anyone else do this? What do you think the differences are?

[@johnnymetallica1039]

That jewelry box is ugly AF 🤣 is there a wind-up ballerina in there?

[@reggieh6038]

@@johnnymetallica1039 You can argue all desk top humidors look like jewellery boxes then. Atleast that one doesn't crack.

Do do do I was looking at buying this one. It looks really nice, but i probably won't after watching this.

This review is a bit disingenuous vis-a-vis the catastrophic failure of the seams. Did you reach out to the company? Is it a known/reported issue? Was it dropped hard during shipping? Did they offer to repair/replace? They are pretty well known for their exceptional customer service so I’m rather surprised that they did not address the issue. Perhaps unfair to the company to not allow them to provide an explanation or response for what may be an addressed problem or one-off problem
