Someone local is selling it for $35. Was thinking of picking it up to separate my infused smokes.
"Desktop Humidor
Brand new
Exterior - Emerald Marble edged in teak browns
10 1/2 inches wide,
Extra Gifts inside Humidor include: Cigar Cutter, Matching Emerald Marble Ashtray"
"The humidor is brand new, never used and it has no markings on it, therefore, I do not know the manufacturer."
This is my current humi:

For $35 you cant go wrong. Looks like it would be perfect for infused smokes. The accessories are nice also. :tu

Well there's always the option for another one of these for $35 shipped ;) I love the glasstop so I can always see the readings without opening it but I hear nothing but bad opinions so not sure I want to buy another glasstop.

Right now I have more infused smokes than traditional so I'd probably put the traditional ones in there. The infused have fancier bands for the glasstop anyway ;)
I don't plan to have more than 100 cigars at one time (i know, i know. im unemployed right now so it wont be hard to restrain myself) so the 50 I have now plus another 30-50 and I think I'll be grand.

Like most people who start off with infused you will find yourself buying more and more non-infused and that humi would probubly suit your need for infused cigars just fine.
Seems like a good deal with the included ashtray and such.
Or you could just buy a bigger unit and use the one you have now for your infused, you are gonna need a bigger one before long anyways.
I did see several ashtrays like that one go for $15.
No I can't identify it.
Look kinda like this one but without a key:

Just emailed them, hopefully it's still available :)

Well it's still available. Should I try to be cheap and negotiate since he/she can't provide any details about it?

Yeah it's been there at least a week. I emailed them last week asking for brand and such and got the response I posted above.
Why haven't you bought it? ;) Was thinking of offering maybe $30 since gas on this 93 octane V8 is pricey and I'm a currently unemployed cheap ass.

seems like a good deal. just check it out for marks or cracks and if it a tight fit.
my guess would be its a cuban crafters or some t****son combo that he wanted the cigars and not the humi

Yeah I asked if she could check the seal and get back to me before I waste my time going over there.

Not sure what this really goes for, but it already sounds like a good price.
Edit - Why not, offered $20 as-is no questions asked.

Probably perfect for your infused smokes. Unless you have a girlfriend.
Take it from me, I bought a 100ct humidor for infused smokes thinking it would never fill. She stole it, and it's now HER humidor which is over half full of infused nasties.

Grabbed it for $30. Post some details later.
Pretty lightweight but looks nice.

Well it's definitely a very cheap humidor. For $30, I didn't really look over it 100% but as I figured by its light weight, the marble look is simply a glossy plastic overlay, although it does look nice.
The empty humidor weighs 2.5 lbs.
The hygrometer appears to be all plastic and weighs 0.6 oz. Currently in the 75% Humidipak. I'd be amazed if I could even calibrate this thing.
Humidifier looks cheap as well. Not sure why, but it twists open and closed.
However, the ash tray isn't bad and the cutter feels solid, so all in all, not too bad.
The humidor sounds like it closes nicely and pushes a good amount of air out during the "drop test."
If I had the chance to go back, I probably wouldn't spend $30 on it, but I'm not heartbroken.
If it was $30 for the humidor only I'd be a little upset.
I have another digital hygrometer on the way. Guess we'll see if it can hold humidity.
Pics tomorrow (or today, however you look at it haha)

Nevermind here's the pics. Not sure how I didn't notice the obvious imperfection on the front. Guess I was in a hurry to meet someone after, or my wonderful eyes are getting to me.
While at her house checking it out she says her and her husband were at some expensive auction and he bought it for about $180 with some cigars. Can't imagine what cigars came with this thing for $180! Debating emailing her with some humor on that note.
Or maybe it was her ginormous knockers :rolleyes:

And the bad, since it would only allow 6 images in the above post:

If it holds humidity then I guess it's better than a tupperware! I don't care enough about this thing to wait days for the "safe" seasoning process. Probably wipe it down with a sponge tomorrow and see how it does, although I won't really know until my additional hygro comes in. My other humi is seasoning so I don't want to open it up to take the digi-hygro out.

Re-posted it on CL. If it doesn't sell, as mentioned in the ad, and it holds humidity, it'll be great for travel.

Glad you liked it ;) I edited it a little bit.
I'm a very honest person so I figured I'd post as many details as possible, and add a little humor.
Sonic04GT
10-11-2011, 06:27 PM
Sooo I've been thinking the ad is probably way too long to keep most peoples attention, even with the poor humor. Should I just cut to the chase and list what's included?

You might list the included items right up front and leave the honesty and humor further down. That way people see what's going on right away and can read on if they want to. The ashtray is really cool, the rest, meh.

Sonic04GT
10-12-2011, 12:46 AM
Thanks I will do that tomorrow.
But yeah, was in a hurry, gave it a once over, and for $30 it looked pretty good. Got home and buyer's remorse kicked in. If it holds humidity them I'm happy. An extra cutter to keep in the car doesn't hurt and the ash tray is pretty decent.
