Yet another Vinotemp post.

A while back I "think" I posted about them (Vinotemp) initially not seeming to be interested in that corner of the market, when I emailed them and inquired about controlling humidity as well as temperature. When I wrote back, stating that I was somewhat disappointed with their reply and mentioned that they could be missing out on a significant additional source of sales, the lady (not the same as from their first reply) said she would check into the possibilities with their engineers. But, they may have just wanted to placate me, who knows.

Coincidentally, I was just on their website a few days ago, and they now have an entire section of "humidor-ana", (http://www.vinotemp.com/cigar-humidors-c-25.html) for lack of a better word. Unfortunately, they seemed to have completely missed the point, for the most part. One person could have spent a day or two doing some market research on CS and found out what actually works for the average stogie fanatic. I know that I certainly don't have $4-8000+ to spend on a humidor, no matter how nice it is, especially after seeing what you guys have done with yours. A guy could buy a damn PILE of cigars for that kind of money. I haven't done the tally on it, but I think a 28 or 32, bought on sale, and fully decked out with shelves, trays, beads, and fans, you're still looking at $500 or less, maybe a lot less. It's their loss, I'd say. They could be selling them by the truckload if they would pull their heads out.
