OK, got the humidor. Lid to base gap is excellent, the pics were lying. Passes the dollar bill test with flying colors. Drop the lid, and it does not bang down on the base. Passes the woosh test. I can see no reason why this desktop will not hold humidity. Fit and finish are nice. As to be expected, the hygro and humidifier are bottom of the barrel. I will be using 1 of my adjustable hygrometers, and a Paradigm unit for humidification. I will also supplement the Paradigm with a couple of Bovedas in the bottom section of the humidor. For $25, this is the bargain of the year.
Oh yeah, screw BH.
