Answer
Hi Chris,

I spoke with Laura at Vinotemp early last week and she said that they would send me more info about their thermo-electric humidor and their cabinet humidors so I'm just waiting for that now.  I'll let you know as soon as I receive it.  (I'll just add a follow-up to this question and you'll automatically be re-notified by email.)

Regards,
James

***FOLLOW-UP (10/21/09)***:

Hi Chris,

Laura and Jamyla from Vinotemp finally sent me two PDF files regarding their Thermo-Electric humidor and their other cigar related products.  They're PDF files so you'll need a PDF viewer such as Adobe Reader to view them.  It's not too much info so if you still have questions about their humidor, you can contact their customer support or send me your questions and I will relay it to them.  I also found the user manual for the thermo-electric humidor on their website and that should be helpful at further understanding the unit.

Here are the links:

Hopes this helps!

Expertise

My main area of expertise is Cuban cigars but I can also assist you with cigar etiquette, humidor maintenance and troubleshooting. Unsure of a certain cigar brand? Wondering what a certain cigar tastes like? Have any questions about Cuban cigars? Just let me know! I have smoked every brand of Cuban cigars and most reputable non-Cuban cigar brands on a regular basis so I know a fair bit about taste profiles, cigar etiquette and other fine nuances to cigar smoking. (NOTE: My main focus is on premium, hand-rolled cigars and not cheap, machine made, convenience store cigars.) IMPORTANT: PLEASE NOTE THAT I DO NOT PROVIDE CIGAR OR CIGAR-RELATED APPRAISALS. If you have a vintage cigar item and you want to know if it's worth something, please contact an antique dealer that specializes in "TOBACCIANA".

Experience

I currently have 19 dedicated years of cigar smoking and counting. I have smoked every brand of Cuban cigars and most reputable non-Cuban cigar brands on a regular basis so I know a fair bit about taste profiles, cigar etiquette and other fine nuances to cigar smoking. For 5 years, I studied with Cuban torcedores (rollers), catadores (taste testers) and revisadores (inspectors) on every aspect involving the production of the Cuban cigar and I am currently writing a book that will help beginners understand everything they need to know about cigars and cigar smoking.
