With fabric not rated for the heat of a continuous light, the Medium Shallow Plus for strobe applications is ideal for work in cramped interiors where medium softening of your studio flash is desired.

The Chimera Medium Shallow Plus for Strobe applications is designed for use with a studio flash with a protruding dome such as a Profoto lamphead. With fabric not rated for the heat of a continuous light, the Medium Shallow Plus for strobe applications is ideal for work in cramped interiors where medium softening of your studio flash is desired.
The "Plus" designation of this softbox means you can remove the front face of the softbox if you like. Chimera makes different strengths of diffusion material for front face applications. The softbox comes with a one stop diffuser, a 1/2 grid, and 1/4 grid cloth. These would allow more light transmission and help to make the light more specular, or "less soft."
This softbox also has a built in "lip" around the edges to help control light spill. This lip also facilitates the attachment of various accessories which are not included, such as honeycomb grids, fabric grids, and louvers.
This softbox is the ideal choice only for strobe heads utilizing the protruding flashtube. It is not recommended for use with heads having built in reflectors such as the Dynalite 2040 lamp head or Novatron lamp heads. The reason for this is because the shallow depth of this softbox would not allow the light to spread out adequately within the box. Exposure then would not be as even across the entire front face of the softbox, meaning that your picture won't be as evenly exposed either. If you own strobes that utilize a protruding flashtube design, and want to maximize air space or headroom inside your very cramped interior, then this softbox is the ideal solution for you.
- Medium Softening Ability
- This softbox will produce a soft light quality with enough punch to make it the default light shaping tool of many photographers.
- Recessed Front Face
- Helps to control light spill and facilitates the attachment of an optional fabric grid.
- Shallow Depth Design
- Equates to more headroom if the box is used overhead or easier maneuvering in cramped interior shoots. Please note that this is only recommended with strobe heads utilizing a protruding flashtube, which will provide adequate mixing of light inside the softbox.
- Multiple Diffusers Included
- The Shallow banks come standard with a 1 stop diffuser. Additional 1/2 and 1/4 grid cloths are available. This provides you with many options as far as light transmission and level of softness.
- Custom Manufacturing
- Hand Sewn in Boulder Colorado, USA.
- 5 Year Guarantee
- Chimera guarantees that its Softboxes will maintain original specifications and warrants fabrics and workmanship for five years from the date of manufacture.

An exceptional solution for both beginners and intermediate cigar enthusiasts
This humidor is an exceptional solution for both beginners and intermediate enthusiasts, offering high-end technical performance at an excellent value. It expertly balances superior craftsmanship with a functional, elegant design suitable for any desk or office.
Technical Engineering & Climate Control
Superior Seal: The unit features a machined internal lip—or "freshness coaming"—that creates a robust airtight seal, often producing an audible vacuum "whoosh" when opened.
Spanish Cedar Interior: Lined with genuine Spanish cedar, the box utilizes the wood's natural hygroscopic properties to buffer humidity and stabilize the internal environment.
Integrated Instrumentation: The kit includes an analog or digital hygrometer and a crystal gel humidification system. While users often find the included hygrometers require a known offset for precision, they provide a consistent visual reference for long-term maintenance.
Hardware Quality: The box is equipped with high-quality quadrant hinges and a ball-detent locking hasp that ensures the lid remains securely closed.
Design & Practicality
Capacity: Optimally sized to hold between 25 and 35 cigars, this humidor provides ample space for proper air circulation without becoming cumbersome.
Visual Display: The tempered glass top is deeply seated and sealed, allowing you to inspect your collection without disrupting the internal relative humidity (RH).
Furniture Protection: A full-coverage velvet pad on the bottom prevents the unit from slipping or scratching delicate surfaces.
All-Inclusive Starter Kit
The package serves as a comprehensive "cigar solution" by including everything needed to begin seasoning immediately:
Humidification solution and a precise dropper system.
A cedar divider to organize different cigar assortments.
Three travel storage tubes for cigars on the go.
Final Verdict: This humidor is a standout personal essential or gift, successfully executing the critical technical requirements of airtight storage and moisture buffering while maintaining a premium aesthetic.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Technical Review: Premium Cedar Wood Glass Top Humidor (25-35 Count)
5 stars all the way! Wow! I'm speechless, but WOW! Excellent product.
This desktop humidor package is an exceptional entry-level to intermediate solution that demonstrates superior craftsmanship where it matters most: maintaining stable Relative Humidity (RH) for cigar aging and preservation. It flawlessly balances high-utility features with an elegant, display-friendly design, earning a perfect five-star rating as a standout gift or personal essential.
🔬 Technical Integrity: The Seal and The Wood
The core function of any humidor is its seal and its ability to buffer humidity changes. This unit executes both with precision:
The Airtight Seal: The box features a carefully machined lid designed with a sealed freshness coaming—a tight, internal lip that meets the box edge when closed. The result is an audible "whoosh" or vacuum sound when the lid is lifted (the "dollar bill test" typically passes with flying colors), confirming minimal air exchange. This robust seal is crucial for long-term humidity stability.
Spanish Cedar Lining: The interior is lined with genuine Spanish Cedar (Cedrela Odorata). This isn't just for aroma; cedar has a unique cell structure that is naturally hydroscopic (it absorbs and releases moisture). This acts as a humidity buffer, stabilizing the internal environment by absorbing excess moisture when RH is too high and releasing it slowly when RH drops. This buffering action is vital for consistent aging.
Capacity: The 25-35 cigar capacity (depending on cigar ring gauge) is ideal for a dedicated enthusiast or a growing collection, providing enough volume for proper air circulation without being overly bulky.
🌡️ Instrumentation and Humidification System
The integrated components simplify the critical process of humidity management.
Glass Top Display & Stability: While glass tops are sometimes criticized for being less efficient than solid wood (as wood is a better buffer than glass), this model compensates by using tempered glass that is deeply seated and sealed. This allows for visual inspection without opening the lid, a critical feature that reduces the physical disruption of the stable internal RH.
Analog Hygrometer: The included analog hygrometer is an excellent aesthetic touch. While all analog hygrometers should be calibrated immediately upon receipt, its positioning is clear and front-facing. Many users upgrade to a digital hygrometer for superior precision, but the built-in unit provides a reliable visual reference point.
Humidifier & Dropper System: The package includes a standard foam or acrylic humidifier and a dropper. This allows for precise charging with distilled water or propylene glycol solution. The inclusion of a divider helps organize the collection, ensuring proper spacing for maximum air and humidity exposure to every cigar.
🎁 Presentation and Value
The humidor's aesthetic appeal and comprehensive feature set make it a genuinely thoughtful gift.
Aesthetic Appeal: The smooth, polished exterior finish combined with the glass top makes it a beautiful piece of desk or office furniture. The overall fit and finish feel premium, with quality hinges and a solid weight.
All-Inclusive Kit: By including the box itself, the hygrometer, the humidifier, the cedar divider, and the dropper, the manufacturer provides everything needed for a new aficionado to correctly season the box and begin storage immediately.
Final Verdict: This humidor successfully executes the technical requirements of long-term cigar storage—a tight seal and Spanish cedar lining—while adding the convenience and presentation of a glass top. It is the perfect blend of form and function, offering exceptional value and performance for its class.

A Really Nice Starter or Small Humidor
This is a really nice small or starter humidor kit for someone that buys a box or small assortment of cigars and needs a place to keep them maintained while working through them over a period of time. Sized right for this need, my picture shows 20 cigars stored with plenty of room left over for 5 to 10 more.
I added my own calibrated hygrometer with the hygrometer included with the humidor. This allowed me to capture a week long stream of data showing the seasoning process of the humidor as the internal relative humidity level slowly increased as the included crystal gel humidifier added water vapor to the humidor. I did top up the humidifier with the included cigar solution over this period but very little was needed.
After a week I had a stable internal humidity level near 70% so I added 20 cigars from my well maintained collection and all is well. As long as I follow the manufacturers instructions and keep the humidor out of direct sunlight, I believe it will provide a stable long term storage environment.
Prefilled humidifier, cigar solution, travel storage tubes, dropper and instructions were all well done. One thing I'll add is the provided hygrometer can be changed from degrees C to degrees F by pushing the on-off switch twice rapidly. This is not called out in the instructions. Also, I found the provided hygrometer to be off as compared to my calibrated hygrometer. This is common and once the offset is known it can be worked around. In my case the included hygrometer was reading 4% below my test hygrometer.
Fit, finish, and build quality of the humidor was very good. It looks good on the outside and appears to be sealing very well when closed to maintain a humidified internal environment. I very much appreciate the full coverage velvet-like cushion/pad on the bottom of the humidor to keep it from scratching a softer wood surface it is placed on.
Some quick notes on the hinge and hasp hardware. The humidor includes quadrant hinges which work really well for humidors. Happy to see them included. The locking hasp does hold the lid securely closed using a ball detent locking system. Should the humidor ever become too wet or you want to let the humidor air out a bit, the hasp can be used as a lid prop to allow some outside air to enter the humidor. Added a photo of this as my description is probably lacking.

Good quality humidor
This is a nice humidor for the cigar enjoyer. It feels well made, and it works well in controlling the humidity for your cigars. It is a standard, basic humidor, which does what it needs to do. The velvet bottom makes it create for keeping it from slipping off furniture or any other holding places you may store your cigars, while also protecting it from scratches and blemishes. The package comes with the humidor solution, the humidifier, and 3 travel cases for your cigars, which is a nice inclusion. It's a great option for those that enjoy a cigar every now and then, or for storage for a celebration. DXXULL does have other options for more enthusiastic cigar smokers. Overall, it's a great option that'll work for someone who wants to store some cigars at home, and keep their quality.

Not an expert, but this seems pretty nice!
Look, I'm not humidor expert but this seems like a suprisingly nice unit for the price. Everything fits together precisely, and the different parts seem solid with a nice finish. The felt on the bottom protects surface scratches. It's definitely air-tight; you can hear it when you open the lid. The included accessories (solution and travel cases) are a nice touch. I don't have another hygrometer to compare to this, but the included one seems to be accurate.
