LifePod Locking Humidor – For the Cigar-Smoking Supervillain in All of Us

If you are in a world where every villain needs a lair, a cat, and an overly complicated escape plan, the LifePod Locking Humidor fits right in.

The people at Vaultek (the makers of portable gun safes) decided that your cigars deserve the same level of security as your arsenal. Because, as we all know, there’s nothing more dangerous than an improperly stored cigar.

That said, like all suitable supervillain accessories, it does come at a price. But first, let’s get into a few specifics.

LifePod – The Locking Cigar Humidor

Design: The Fort Knox of Cigar Cases

The LifePod looks like something Q might hand to Bond right before the trip – you know, the kind of thing that would be hidden under the passenger seat of his Aston Martin DB5 – For when Bond had suddenly decided that the espionage game was too stressful and needed a fine cigar to take the edge off.

Its rugged, military-grade exterior screams, “I’m protecting something far more valuable than paperwork.”

It is also not small in terms of travel standards. It comes in at 10.25″ x 7″ x 2.25″

Ultimately, there are two ways to access your cigars (depending on which model you choose).

A built-in biometric lock or numbered keypad.

The Lifepod 2.0 Biometric Humidor will run you about $339.99.

The Lifepod 2.0 Keypad Humidor will run you about $229.99

*You can find some 1.0 models on Vaultek’s site for $179.99

Functionality: Does It Hold Humidity?

All this flash would be a waste if the travel humidor didn’t hold humidity as well as it protects. So, we decided to test it.

We threw in a 70% Boveda pack and a Tempfi monitor.

The plus side, after testing the humidor for 30 days, the unit is holding a comfortable 69.9%

The interior is plush and makes good use of the space.

The bottom has a cedar tray with six slots. The lid has room for a large Boveda pack plus a couple of accessories.

Security: Not Even Bond Could Break In

As if the locking mechanism was not enough, the unit also has clips on either side that you need to unlatch to open.

For me, if we weren’t already in a bit of an overkill situation, this put it more over-the-top. This is not a gun safe…where multiple barriers might be desired.

If I was to use this on any regular basis, I would probably try and remove the clips. That said, they are probably key in giving the humidor that final ‘seal’ to hold humidity.

The LifePod is so secure it feels like overkill. But hey, when plotting global domination, a little overkill is just good sense.

Conclusion: Who Is This For?

• Is the LifePod Locking Humidor a bit excessive? Absolutely.
• Is it for that guy in the lounge who HAS to purchase the most expensive cigar AND make sure he holds the band outward so everyone can see it? Another Yes.
• Is it also the most fun you’ll have with a cigar case? Probably.

The LifePod Humidor combines the thrill of espionage with the satisfaction of knowing your cigars are as secure as your evil plans. So, whether you’re plotting to take over the world or just savoring a smoke after a long day of being fabulously villainous, the LifePod might be your biggest pointless splurge.
