Davidoff Cabinet Humidor
Posted: Monday, April 30, 2007
By Gregory Mottola
Swiss company Davidoff of Geneva has introduced a
Cabinet Humidor that targets both commercial enterprises
and the private collector. When Davidoff first introduced
its Cabinet Humidor line, the series was intended as
a commercial fixture for bars, restaurants and cigar stores.
However, the humidor's popularity with consumers led the
company to release an upgraded, streamlined
model that retails for $3,900.
"Davidoff created a new model to
freshen up the line," said David
Kitchens, general manager of the
Davidoff of Geneva store on
Madison Avenue in New York City.
"It's the newest model in 10 years
and is a standard product available
at all Davidoff shops and appointed
merchants."
According to Kitchens, most of the
people who buy the unit are serious
collectors who also have walk-in
wine cellars. For commercial outfits,
the humidor accommodates resort
areas, seasonal locations and cigar
shops that want to sell and display
cigars, but do not want to invest in
large customized, built-in systems.
Designed by Rene Hollenstein, who is head of Davidoff Creation, the
humidor stands 65 inches high and measures 22 inches
across by 16 inches deep. Its veneered exterior and brushed
metal surfaces frame a clear Plexiglas door that displays all
of the humidor's contents. The unit holds anywhere from
1,500 to 2,000 cigars depending on their sizes, and is
humidified by an active Honeywell system.
Although the humidor is not temperature-regulated, it
does have a circulation fan and wood interior for better
humidification. It rolls on casters and is replete with five sliding
shelves and adjustable plastic dividers that allow convenient
displaying of cigar packs as well as the functional
storage of boxes and loose sticks.
The Cabinet Humidor plugs into a standard 110-volt
outlet and comes fully assembled.
