Built-In Under-Counter Cigar Humidor
The BXW-118 is designed to integrate into custom cabinetry, kitchen islands, wet bars and home bars. Its front-vented design allows air to enter and exit from the front, eliminating the need for a large rear ventilation gap.
The front ventilation system allows the cabinet to:
✓ Install flush with surrounding cabinetry
✓ Operate efficiently without rear airflow gaps
✓ Maximize available space
✓ Maintain a clean, built-in appearance
Ideal Installation Locations
- Kitchen Islands
- Wet Bars
- Home Bars
- Built-In Cabinetry
- Cigar Lounges
- Private Clubs
- Hospitality Spaces
The BXW-118 becomes part of the interior rather than simply another appliance.
Front-Vented Design for Built-In Installation
Unlike freestanding cigar cabinets that require rear clearance for airflow, the BXW-118 uses front ventilation to support under-counter and built-in installation. This makes it easier to integrate into kitchen islands, wet bars and custom millwork.
Professional Climate Control System
Compact in size, but uncompromising in performance.
The BXW-118 uses an advanced compressor cooling system combined with precision humidification technology to create a stable environment for long-term cigar storage.
Controlled conditions:
Temperature Range:
16–22°C / 61–72°F
Humidity Range:
60–80% RH
The integrated climate system helps protect cigars from:
- Drying and moisture loss
- Excess humidity fluctuations
- Unstable storage conditions
- Loss of aroma and aging quality
Spanish Cedar Interior for Premium Aging

Spanish cedar helps:
- Maintain balanced humidity
- Enhance natural tobacco aromas
- Support cigar aging
- Create an ideal storage environment
Combined with:
- Evaporative membrane humidification
- Dual circulation fans
The BXW-118 provides consistent airflow and humidity distribution throughout the cabinet.

BALANS BXW-118
Built Into Your Space. Engineered for Your Collection.
With 140 liters of climate-controlled storage, the BXW-118 is designed for collections of approximately 300–500 cigars. It provides more capacity than a compact desktop humidor while maintaining a space-efficient under-counter footprint.
The BXW-118 is a great combination of functionality and appearance. The black finish, glass door and warm interior lighting give it a very high-end look. More importantly, it keeps my cigars in a controlled environment without requiring constant attention. It fits perfectly into my cigar lounge and has quickly become one of my favorite pieces of equipment.
I've been using the BXW-118 for my growing cigar collection and have been very impressed with how stable the environment has been. The digital controls make it easy to check the settings, and I don't have to constantly adjust the humidity like I did with my old humidor. The airflow also seems very consistent throughout the cabinet.
The front ventilation was one of the main reasons I chose the BXW-118. I wanted a humidor that could fit neatly under the counter without leaving a large gap behind it. Installation was straightforward, and once it was running, the temperature and humidity were easy to monitor. It looks clean and professional in my bar area.
I was looking for something larger than a desktop humidor but didn't want a huge floor-standing cabinet. The BXW-118 turned out to be a great middle ground. It gives me enough space for several boxes and loose cigars while fitting neatly under my counter. The build quality is excellent and the cabinet feels solid.
This humidor looks even better in person. The Spanish cedar interior gives it a premium feel, and there is plenty of room for my current cigar collection. I also really like the glass door and interior lighting because I can easily see everything without opening the cabinet. Overall, a very classy piece of equipment.
I'm very happy with the BALANS BXW-118. The size is perfect for my home bar, and the built-in design makes it look much more like part of the cabinetry than a separate appliance. The Spanish cedar interior is a great touch, and the temperature and humidity controls are easy to use. It holds my collection comfortably without taking up too much space.
Why Our Technology Is Different
Compressor Cooling for Stable Cigar Storage
Most small humidors use thermoelectric cooling. Thermoelectric cooling can become less effective as ambient temperatures rise, particularly when used for larger-capacity storage cabinets. A Peltier chip can only drop 8–10°C below ambient. On a 35°C summer day, your cigars sit at 27°C. Such conditions can make it more difficult to maintain the stable temperature recommended for long-term cigar storage.
The BALANS uses compressor cooling to provide reliable temperature control for the BX-108, maintaining an adjustable range of 16–22°C (61–72°F).
Evaporative Humidification
Unlike ultrasonic humidifiers, which can produce visible droplets or localized moisture when improperly sized or positioned, the BALANS evaporative membrane system gradually distributes moisture through the airflow without producing visible mist. This helps create a more consistent humidity environment throughout the cabinet.
Our system uses an evaporative membrane. A silent fan pulls air across a saturated film, releasing humidity as invisible vapor — the way a forest floor works. No droplets.
Solid Spanish Cedar Interior
Some cabinets use thin cedar panels over engineered wood. The BALANS is designed to provide a dedicated cigar-storage environment with carefully selected interior materials. Spanish cedar is hygroscopic: it absorbs and releases moisture, acting as a natural humidity buffer.
Depending on the chosen configuration, BALANS is available with either an aluminum or a Spanish cedar interior. The Spanish cedar version is designed specifically for collectors who prefer the traditional material for cigar storage—one prized for its natural humidity-regulating properties.
Dual Air Circulation
A single fan creates a loop: top to bottom, same path, same air. The corners sit still. Humidity stratifies. Temperature layers.
We install two fans — one base-mounted pushing air upward through the shelving, one side-mounted creating cross-flow.
The dual-fan circulation system is designed to reduce stagnant-air areas and minimize temperature and humidity differences throughout the cabinet.
This helps provide a more consistent storage environment from the upper shelves to the lower compartments.
