I am looking to purchase a Zino acrylic humidor but know very little about them and just wanted to pick everyone's brains before making what is a considerable outlay. Please forgive me if such a question has been already asked (couldn't find anything in the archives though), but: What are the advantages and disadvantages of such a humidor and has anybody got any personal experience they can share?

Acrylic is plastic and does not breathe as wood does.

You must open the humidor daily to let air in and gasses out.

Much the same as those who store cigars in a cooler. Since it can't breathe your cigars may become overhumidified.

They seem to be expensive too. I have a $69 humidor from JRs that holds 150 cigars that works just fine. Are you specifically looking for a humidor that you can see through?

I don't know much about the functionality but the looks are pretty terrible. I am a fan of the wood and I love the cedar smell. I will never understand why anyone would want an acrylic humidor.

What Doc said, plus light hurts cigars, so be prepared to keep it some place dark.

You could buy a decent wood humidor and several boxes of cigars for what the Zino costs.

How 'bout plexiglas?
