It's the best
Super glad I decided to splurge on the best humidor out there! It's such a stunning piece of furniture. Really showcases my favorite cigars in the best way. Ben was awesome during the price negotiation and made sure it got shipped out super fast in time for the holidays. The way they packed it up in a crate, there was no way it was getting damaged during shipping. Yeah, there's a bit of calibration needed, but honestly, I don't mind tinkering with it. And now, for the best part—filling it up!
This piece is straight-up gorgeous and shows off my cigar collection just right. Getting everything set up just so takes a bit of patience, since the unit adjusts its temp and might kick on the compressor to tackle high humidity, leading to this quirky scenario where it's heating and cooling at the same time—one to warm the space up, the other to knock the humidity down.
I'm aiming to find that sweet spot where it doesn't have to work so hard, but all in all, I'm pretty stoked about snagging this.
The unit's got some real weight and sturdiness to it, and it looks pretty sharp, too. Had a smooth experience with thegameroomjoint.com from start to finish, and the delivery was spot on. The only hiccup is the humidifier's accuracy and its tendency to fluctuate throughout the day. You might want to toss in a couple of digital hygrometers inside since the built-in one isn't the most reliable (though I believe you can tweak it with some calibration).
Totally digging this humidor. It's hefty, with an awesome seal, and honestly feels like a piece of quality furniture. Showed up exactly as expected, packed super securely in a crate, with delivery hitting the mark perfectly. It needed a bit of tweaking and some effort to get the humidity control just right, but once I got it all figured out, it's been smooth sailing. It really makes my collection look good, especially with those neat little lights in the door shining through. Kinda wish there was a bit more room for personalization, though. I was hoping to add an extra shelf or two and reached out about it but didn't get a response. If there's a way to squeeze in more shelves, that'd be awesome. But overall, super happy with this buy and would definitely suggest it to my fellow cigar enthusiasts.
So, first up, I get why people wonder how I can puff through so many cigars. Simple - one at a time. This humidor? Absolute gem, works like a dream. Took about 4 days to get it all set up and stocked, and since then, it's been smooth sailing. It arrived in a crate built just for it, which was pretty cool. Getting it going was a breeze too—had the water in and everything set up in about 10 minutes, even with a glance through the instructions. This was a treat to myself, not about showing off. I'm all about enjoying my cigars and keeping them in top shape. The customer service was on point, super helpful with any questions I had, and the delivery speed blew me away. Totally thrilled with this purchase.
The unit arrived just as pictured. There's a bit of a difference between the humidity it shows and what my go-to hygrometers inside report, but it's been holding steady for about 4 days now. Honestly, I could tweak the display to match the real humidity levels, but as long as my cigars are chilling at the right humidity, I'm not too fussed about the numbers. Everything's running smoothly. The humidity levels from top to bottom are pretty consistent, never off by more than 2% RH. The interior light is a total win, even got a nod of approval from my usually skeptical wife who thinks it's stunning. It arrived quickly, and it took three of us to maneuver it up a couple of small steps into my office—it's a hefty 220 lbs, but it was well packaged and arrived without a scratch. This humidor is a beast, and it's joining two others in my collection.
This humidor is pretty great. I wasn't thrilled with the condition it was in when I first received it, but Ken quickly laid down all of my concerns. I am very happy I spent the money on a quality humidor from a quality company. No need to hesitate on buying the Remington Lite, you'll be happy with the product and the customer service.
Very nice and well built cabinet humidor. Easily holds up to 2,000 cigars. Looks great. Packaged very well when delivered. Worth the cost. If you want a classy cabinet humidor then this is the one for you. Needless to day, I'm very happy I purchased this cabinet humidor after many months of research.
This unit is a solid choice and looks awesome in a cigar room. Setting it up is a breeze. I'd recommend picking up an external hygrometer to pair with it, just so you've got a benchmark for calibration. There's a gold screw on the hygrometer that'll need a little fiddling to dial in just right. Aim for that sweet spot of 70% humidity and 70°F. Might take a couple of days, but it's worth the effort. The folks at The Gameroom Joint were super awesome and helpful over the phone for any questions, too. Once you've got it all set up, maintaining it is pretty straightforward—just add water to the RH chamber as needed. Give it a few days, and you'll notice your cigars getting that perfect level of moisture back. Definitely a 5/5 from me for this unit.
Just upgraded my cigar storage to a bigger and more solid humidor, and snagging it from these guys was a total win—great price, top-notch product, stellar customer service, and smooth delivery. Was a bit anxious about getting something this hefty shipped to my spot in rural Colorado, but man, was I pumped when it showed up right between snowstorms two weeks back, packed like Fort Knox to keep it safe. Gave it a week to get its seasoning on before I started moving my cigar collection into this beauty. Super stoked with my buy, though I know it's gonna need some regular check-ins and TLC to keep it being the ultimate home for my cigars. Already plotting to build a walk-in humidor with The Gameroom Joint next. No humidor's perfect, but this one's pretty darn close for me—any little issues, I figure I'll just tweak it with some smart fixes and accessories. Really happy with it and can't wait to enjoy it through the year. Here's to many chilled sessions with BBQ Jeff!
This humidor is legit good. Wasn't too stoked about its shape when it first showed up, but Ben from Elegant Bar was on it and sorted everything out fast. Totally worth the cash for a solid humidor from a cool company. Don't think twice about grabbing the Remington Lite – you'll be stoked with both the gear and the service.
This humidor is solid and looks awesome. Came super well-packed and does its job right. Ran into a small hiccup, but The Gameroom Joint stepped up, talked to the maker for me, and sorted everything out. Super happy with how it all turned out. Definitely recommend them!
This thing's a stunner, seriously makes my cigar collection look amazing. Getting it all set up just right needs a bit of patience, though. It's pretty smart – heats up or cools down depending on the temp, but gets a bit weird when it kicks the compressor on to drop high humidity. Ends up, sometimes it's heating and cooling at the same time – one to keep it warm, the other to cut down on the damp.
I'm crossing my fingers I can tweak it to run less, but all in all, I'm really happy with how it's turned out.
Been rocking this humidor since last, last winter (2022) and gave it a good few months of use before deciding to drop a review. Pretty much, I'm digging it (giving it a solid 4.5 stars). After messing around a bit and getting the hygrometer recalibrated, it's been doing its job nicely. I've got a few digital hygrometers I trust scattered inside to keep an eye on the Remington's accuracy.
Here's the breakdown of what's hot and what's not:
Pros:
This thing's airtight – humidity doesn't stand a chance of escaping.
Loads of room for your stash.
The electronic (LED) display is sleek.
Comes with a humidifier, plus heating and cooling features.
It's straight-up gorgeous, like, it seriously dresses up a room.
Cons:
The electronic humidification system is decent but could use some tweaking.
The spot for the water tank is kinda awkward.
I've noticed it chills out better in the winter. Come summer in the Midwest, and it's a bit of a rollercoaster with the humidity and temperature, thanks to my thermostat playing yo-yo to save on bills (and my wallet). The unit works overtime to keep things steady at my set temp (68F-70F). Winter's more chill since the house and humidor temps are more in sync. Wrapping up, the humidification system could be tighter, but it's a step up from what I had before and keeps my sizeable collection in tip-top shape.
I have read that it’s fairly easy and somewhat fast (compared to tennis) to get good at pickleball. But to get great, that’s a steep climb! That said, I have comfortably played pickleball for a number of months and I am an ex (really good!) tennis player! I am trying to climb that hill to being great.
That’s where this paddle comes in. I had high expectations for it, as I had read about the release a few weeks ago. This is a fabulous paddle, and exceeds my expectations! I have been using a Gearbox paddle, and am happy with that one. But this Perseus blew me away. It has a great feel, I love the grip and the balls zing off the surface. The shots are easy to control, and there is a large sweet spot that makes shot making really easy and predictable. The surface has enough of a rough surface that I can spin the ball better, creating (difficult to return) topspin balls.
I have a two-handed backhand; this grip is long enough for me to comfortably use both of my hands, getting the shots I want.
I am really happy with this paddle! It has replaced my Gearbox as the primary paddle. I can’t wait to play again tomorrow!
Love this paddle and highly recommend it!

Great paddle
One of my favorite paddles for pickle ball. The carbon fiber makes this paddle lightweight and not stain your wrists. The bounce back on this is wonderful without much effort.

Terrific new upgrade paddle with a huge sweet spot and amazing spin control
I’ve been using this paddle for several weeks now and played 50+ games with it. My previous paddle was the Ben John’s Hyperion 16 cfm which I really liked. This paddle has a very similar feel to the Hyperion and is very easy to transition to. Let’s talk about power. This has what they call a “Charged Carbon Surface” which reinforces the paddle structure and gives you superior energy return when compared to other carbon fiber pickleball paddles. You’ll get a more explosive response while being able to feel the ball and still maintain the feedback for better touch and control. It also makes a nicer “pop” sound than my other paddle.
The paddle is thermoformed and encased in carbon and that means it can stand up to hard-hitting shots with reliable play throughout its lifespan. That’s key because you hear a lot about paddles getting “worn out” or losing their energy. The carbon fiber casing provides tremendous strength and superior stability. That gives a high-performance racket and gritty surface that is long lasting, and durable over hundreds and hundreds of games.
It has a unique shape that enhances the sweet spot, allowing you to hit with accuracy and control at the net or from the baseline. That’s really the big takeaway for me - how large the sweet spot is and thus how forgiving it is in fast play.
This new paddle features a Feel-Tec Pure Grip that adds the extra feel and control you need to be fully confident in each swing. The handle grip has an element of tackiness that connects you to the paddle while the soft touch supports comfort and helps with grip endurance. Many players put their own grip wraps on, but I like this grip. The sweat gets shed by the moisture absorbing materials and perforations.
I really like the smaller 4.125 vs the Hyperion 16 4.25 grip circumference. I’m 5’9” and this fits my hand perfectly. I also like the grey handle vs white which I never cared for - it doesn’t show as much hand sweat and grunge.
Overall, I like the smaller grip for my size hands. Bigger sweet spot, controlled hits on all parts of the paddle face. More consistency on hits. A bit heavier head feel. Hits hard, feels very light overall. Really good feel on dinks.
Bottom line, I like this new paddle version better. It has power, spin and control like the Hyperion but with a better feel all around and the huge sweet spot. It’s a better version for me and it’s my go-to paddle now.

Not for everyone, but with a little tuning this is the best paddle ever
Some people mention that this paddle isn't the lightest or isn't balanced, but it you watch the video by Ben Johns on how to set this paddle up, you'll be very happy.
Yes, this seems like a lot of money to spend on paddle, but if you consider how long this paddle is going to bring you joy, it's not really that much. A good dinner out is going to cost you $50 -$100 and then it's down the drain. This paddle will last for years.
So if you can get past these two hurdles (weight, cost) everything else about this paddle is UNBELIEVABLE.
Large sweet spot (after adding weight), great control, great spin.
I play golf also, and spending this kind of money on golf equipment doesn't improve my game a noticeable amount. But regarding pickleball paddles, you equipment really can make a difference.

By far the best paddle I have used.
This is truly a professional paddle. Now, I'm not a professional but I'd sure like to play better so having the equipment is a very simple start. The build quality of the paddle is fantastic. Very durable and solid constructions. Really protected edges that hold up well to nicks, scrapes and falls well. The handle grip is very comfortable and longer like I like it. Very nice grip tape that is top notch. Perfect weight in the hand and a good, large surface area with a moderately textured finish that provides good power, spin and control. I just wish it came with a head cover or case for the price, but otherwise it is a fantastic paddle especially if you are serious about getting better.
