Humidor | Raching Reserva RR980 black

The Raching Reserva RR980 in Caribbean Black is the flagship of Raching’s Reserva series: a 580-litre electric humidor cabinet lined with Spanish cedar, finished in deep black lacquer with mirror-chrome lines, built to hold a serious collection at a steady 15 to 22 °C and 60 to 75% RH with ±1% accuracy. Raching quotes a capacity of 3,000 to 4,000 cigars. Counted in Robusto, the honest figure is a little over 2,300. The black version is made to order; the Trinidad Brown version is in stock in our European warehouse, and San Diego Red and Havana Tan can be ordered as well.

How many cigars really fit? 580 litres of interior space holds roughly 2,320 Robustos (ring gauge 50, 124 mm). HumiViniQ counts four Robustos per litre of interior volume for every brand; Raching’s 3,000 to 4,000 is counted in smaller formats. That way you compare cabinets on equal terms.

Water cooling that holds 15 °C in summer. Most electric humidors cool thermo-electrically and struggle once a living room passes 24 °C. The RR980 uses a compressor with water cooling and keeps the set temperature through a heatwave. That matters twice: cigars stop drying out, and the tobacco beetle, which becomes active above roughly 24 °C in humid air, never gets its chance.

Draw-resistance test. The Reserva series measures the draw of a cigar before you light it. You know whether a cigar will smoke well while it is still in the cabinet, which is the feature that separates the Reserva from the MON series.

Ammonia removal. Young cigars release ammonia, especially in the first weeks after rolling. The RR980 filters it out of the air so a fresh box does not affect the rest of the collection.

TFT colour display and ±1% RH control. Temperature and humidity are set on a colour touch display. The cabinet holds relative humidity within ±1% across the 60 to 75% range and shows the readings of its sensors at a glance.

Fingerprint lock and Wi-Fi. The door opens with a fingerprint, and the cabinet connects to your home network so you can check temperature and humidity from your phone. Useful when the cabinet stands in an office, a club lounge or a second home.

Eight shelf levels in Spanish cedar. The interior is Spanish cedar throughout, with eight levels of shelving and drawers for boxes and loose cigars. The black exterior with chrome accents and LED lighting is designed to stand in a living room rather than a storeroom.

Raching. Raching specialises in electric humidors and supplies lounges and private collectors worldwide. Its cabinets combine active cooling, ammonia removal and precise humidity control in one unit. HumiViniQ stocks and services the Raching range from Europe, with a two-year warranty for private customers.

Is the black RR980 in stock?

No. The Caribbean Black finish is made to order; we confirm the delivery time when you order. The Trinidad Brown RR980 is in stock in Belgium and ships within a few working days. San Diego Red and Havana Tan are also available to order.

How many cigars fit in the Raching RR980?

The interior is 580 litres. Raching quotes 3,000 to 4,000 cigars depending on the format; in Robusto you should count on just over 2,300. If you store mostly boxes, the number is lower because of the packaging.

What is the difference between the RR980 and the MON5800A?

Both have 580 litres, water cooling and ammonia removal. The RR980 adds the TFT colour display, eight shelf levels, the draw-resistance test and a temperature range that starts at 15 °C. If you buy on storage per euro, the MON5800A is the logical choice; if you buy on finish and features, the RR980.

Do I need a humidor with cooling at all?

Cigars keep best between 16 and 18 °C at 65 to 72% RH. A passive humidor follows the room temperature, which in summer means 24 °C or more. A cooled cabinet keeps the collection stable all year and is the only way to store a large collection safely in a warm room.

What does the RR980 need from the room?

A standard socket (230 V) and about 10 cm of space behind the cabinet for ventilation. The cabinet is 186.5 cm high, 69 cm wide and 70 cm deep and weighs 131 kg, so it is delivered on a pallet to the ground floor; let it stand upright for 24 hours before switching on.

How is the RR980 delivered?

By pallet transport throughout Europe, booked per shipment. We send the tracking details once the pallet is collected. Delivery is to the front door at ground level.

What warranty applies?

Two years for private customers, handled by HumiViniQ in Europe. Replacement membrane filters are available from stock.
