Who is Cigar Oasis Excel for?
This humidifier targets serious cigar enthusiasts who need reliable moisture control but prefer a straightforward, non-digital solution. It is equally suited for occasional smokers who want a low-maintenance option, as well as for travelers who require a portable system that can be set up quickly before a flight or road trip.
How does Cigar Oasis Excel compare?
Compared with basic passive humidors, the Excel adds a calibrated dial and internal hygrometer, delivering more precise control without the cost of fully electronic units. Against high-end digital humidifiers, it offers a simpler interface and lower price point, though it lacks programmable timers and remote monitoring. For most hobbyists, the Excel strikes a balance between performance, ease of use, and affordability. Maintenance of the Cigar Oasis Excel is straightforward: simply refill the humidifier chamber with distilled water mixed with a small amount of propylene glycol solution, wipe the interior with a soft cloth, and check the hygrometer reading monthly. Because the unit relies on a passive humidification system, it requires no batteries or power source, making it ideal for locations without easy access to electricity.
Best use cases
- →Home cigar lounge shelf.
- →Travel case for weekend trips.
- →Office drawer for after-work smoke.
Is Cigar Oasis Excel right for you?
Buy the Cigar Oasis Excel if you want reliable humidity without the complexity of electronic humidifiers.

How it compares: Compared with basic passive humidors, the Excel adds an adjustable dial and built-in hygrometer for tighter RH control, while staying far cheaper than high-end digital units that offer programmable schedules and Bluetooth monitoring.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Cigar Oasis Excel designed to do?
▾
The Cigar Oasis Excel is a portable humidification system that keeps cigars at the optimal relative humidity for long-term storage. It combines a sealed chamber with a simple dial-adjusted humidifier, allowing collectors to maintain a stable environment without electronic components.
Does the Excel require batteries or electricity?
▾
The Excel operates entirely without power; it does not need batteries or an electrical outlet. The humidification process relies on a passive solution of distilled water mixed with a small amount of propylene glycol, which evaporates naturally to maintain the set humidity level.
How do you set the desired humidity level?
▾
To set the humidity, turn the dial on the front of the unit to the desired level, typically marked from 60% to 75% RH. The built-in hygrometer will display the current humidity, and the internal humidifier will adjust until the reading matches the dial setting.
Is the unit suitable for travel?
▾
Yes, the Excel’s compact size and sealed design make it ideal for travel. It fits easily into a suitcase or a dedicated cigar travel case, and because it needs no power source, you can set it up before a trip and let it maintain humidity throughout the journey.
Can I use regular tap water in the humidifier?
▾
You can use distilled water mixed with a small proportion of propylene glycol, which is the recommended solution for most cigar humidifiers. Tap water may contain minerals that can deposit inside the chamber, so distilled water is preferred to keep the interior clean and the humidity stable.
