A good humidor is essential for every serious cigar smoker. Your cigars need to be stored at about 70 degrees Fahrenheit and about 70% relative humidity.

If you want to keep your premium cigars at a temperature that’s either higher or lower than where you keep your living space, you’re going to need a humidor that both heats and cools.

Today, we’re going to take a look at the KingChii 26L Cigar Humidor, an electric humidor that both heats AND cools to keep your cigars at the perfect temperature.

Is the KingChii 26L the best humidor for small apartments and tight spaces? Let’s find out!

What I Really Liked:
When I first unboxed the KingChii 26L, I thought, “hey, this is just like other humidors I’ve seen.” And, while that’s somewhat true, there are a few things that I really like about this one.

Good Seal
The KingChii 26L Cigar Humidor has a good seal. In the video, you’ll see me struggle to open it for the first time. Every other time the door kept a good seal to keep the humidity and temperature in.

Size & Weight
If you’ve got limited space, you’re going to love the KingChii 26L Humidor. I was able to move the humidor by myself and I think just about anyone could do the same. When empty, it’s not that heavy. It’ll also fit in a car for easy transportation.

Visually Appealing
The KingChii 26L is a good-looking humidor. We ended up putting it right next to a leather chair out of space limitations, and it not only fits in well, but it fits well in the space. The front isn’t as mirrored as the NeedOne 48L, and I prefer the mirroring a little toned down.

Temperature Control
If you’re looking for a smaller electronic humidor that both cools AND heats, the KingChii 26L is it. Within about a minute of changing the temperature setting via the touch controls on the front, the KingChii will start raising or lowering the temperature inside. It’s also quiet when starts regulating.

In the first 12 hours, the temperature seemed about 2 degrees cooler inside than it was set. But, after about 24 hours, the difference was only about 1 degree, so things might’ve been settling in.

The Shelves Fit
Not much to say here other than the shelves fit perfectly. It’s worth noting that the shelves are wide enough to hold a 7 1/2″ lancero, so you should be able to store just about anything in the KingChii 26L.

Space Utilization
By moving the rails on the drawer from the bottom to the top (around the 5:30 mark), the drawer’s contents are below the railing. While this means the drawer needs to be on the bottom ove the humidor, it also means that the KingChii makes great use of the space. No wasted space below the bottom shelf on this one!

What I Didn’t Love:
I know, I know, the perfect humidor for every person in every situation does not exist. Here are a couple of things that I didn’t love about the KingChii 26L Cigar Humidor.

The Size
Ya, I know this humidor is smaller, but the box of Oliva Master Blends 3 Torpedos I tried to put in the 26L didn’t fit. It’s a catch-22, a humidor small enough to put anywhere is likely too small to hold everything. The KingChii 26L Cigar Humidor is definitely built to hold singles, not boxes.

No Built-In Humidification
You’re going to need Boveda packs or humidification beads to keep your cigars in perfect condition. A lack of humidification is hardly a gripe, but you’ll need to keep it in mind if you decide to buy one of these units.
