Does it humidify the cigars itself?

No. It controls temperature only. You add a humidification source such as beads or gel and monitor it with a hygrometer.

How many cigars does 8L hold?

Roughly 30 to 50 depending on ring gauge and how you stack them. Larger vitolas cut that number.

It uses thermoelectric cooling, which has no compressor, so it runs quietly. Most owners keep it in a living space without complaint.

Can I put it in a hot garage?

Thermoelectric cooling has limited pull-down. It works best in a climate-controlled room; in high heat it may struggle to hold the set point.

Does it need seasoning?

If it has a Spanish cedar lining, yes: season the wood before loading cigars. Check the interior finish before first use.

What is the warranty?

One year on parts and one year on labor.

Our take on the KingChii 8L Electric Cigar Humidor Cabinet

The KingChii 8L is a small thermoelectric cabinet humidor for about 30 to 50 cigars. It holds a steady temperature electronically and uses a single zone, so it suits a desktop or shelf in a room that swings warm. Unlike a wooden desktop humidor it needs power, and unlike larger compressor cabinets it is quiet and compact. Owners like the set-and-forget temperature control; the common complaints are humidity swings and a small interior that fills fast.
