Help me pick a new humidor
 

Well tax return money will be in the bank on 3/4. The wife and I are gonna split it down the middle. I'm gonna put some in the bank, use some to pay on credit cards, but I also wanna buy a new and larger humidor. Help me out here. I'm looking at the $150-250 range. I'm thinking 50-100 count humidor, maybe more. Something good quality. Thanks.

Re: Help me pick a new humidor
 

damn. that might be a lil big, yeh i know i'll grow into it but i was thinking a lil smaller for now.

Re: Help me pick a new humidor
 

Thats an awesome price for a humidor with that much capacity!

Re: Help me pick a new humidor
 

Treasure Dome is around $100-$150 on the Devil. :tu

Re: Help me pick a new humidor
 

The problem is that you will need the space -- sooner than you think -- so you might as well spring for it up front. Or, get a smaller, desktop humi and spring for a cooler at the same time :D

Re: Help me pick a new humidor
 

I'm all for buying from Cheaphumidors.com, that's where I got mine. I got fast service and I absolutely love the humidor I bought from them. Great price on the humidor and the supplies too!

The only thing I can see about that foot locker humidor that I don't care for is that you would have to take out all the trays from the top to get at the supply on the bottom of the box. I realize that you can store smokes on the bottom that you are going to age for a longer period of time, but maybe a large humidor with individual drawers would be a better option.

Cheers,

I was going to suggest the Havana Foot Locker too. Watch C-Bid as they go pretty cheap there. BTW always go bigger.

Re: Help me pick a new humidor
 

Agree with go alittle bigger than you plan

Re: Help me pick a new humidor

Re: Help me pick a new humidor
 

Another vote for the foot locker from cheaphumidor.com! I like having a couple desk top size humidors for seasoning singles and I'm building a coolidor now for box storage and cedar tray single spill over. The advice from the crazies in here is right on in regards to always going bigger because you will fill up those desk tops fast! GL and be sure to post up pics.

Re: Help me pick a new humidor
 

I would not do the one with multiple drawers, I would be worried about humdity.

The other one looks decent, but you will outgrow it in a month.

Re: Help me pick a new humidor
 

Such naivety is amusing. :D If you don't want small humidors laying around everywhere, go big and forget about it. Remember, humidors only hold 2/3rd's (if that) of what they say will.

The Foot Locker is a great humidor and as Tom said, you will be looking to buy another one alot sooner than you think. But when it's full, go with a cooler.

Re: Help me pick a new humidor
 

The truth is it's better to go alittle bigger than you think you will need. Than to end up too small. You can always add cigars you can't add more humidor space without buying another.

Re: Help me pick a new humidor
 

I agree you can end up doing a lot of digging with the Havana Footlocker but I've got one that's stuffed tot he gill's with cigars for the troops, topped off with beads it keeps the cigars in top shape. It's got room for numerous boxes and the 2 trays offer plently of room for singles. Great humi!!

Truer words are not often spoken! :tu

Re: Help me pick a new humidor
 

Screw it. Lay the money down and buy a tower.

Re: Help me pick a new humidor
 

I vote for a vinotemp or coolidor. Get some nice sized storage, their ain't a slope here it's a f**king cliff.

Re: Help me pick a new humidor
 

i have that one. look for a free shipping code with cigar international. they offer it for 150bucks last time i saw(when i bought mine). great humi even if the accessories dont actually stay attached to the lid.

Re: Help me pick a new humidor
 

I would tend to lean you towards the locker also, but if you want inexpensive and a lot of storage capacity then go for the cooler. I have a 50 qt that I set up for under $100.00 including beads and it holds RH better than my desktops!

just my $.02

Re: Help me pick a new humidor
 

im pretty sure i did my whole cooler set up for around 100bucks and i have a 160gt cooler

Re: Help me pick a new humidor
 

what every you do go about 10x the size you think you will need because your going to fill it quick.

Re: Help me pick a new humidor
 

Go with Ed from waxingmoonhumidors. Check out his thread and pictures from here. I am working on placing y order with him in the next few months.

Reseach his stuff and I don't think you will find any better. Also it is a piece that you will talk about and anjoy with the wife as a work of art that an be looked at as funiture for the house.

Go bigger then you think. I started about 2 years ago and once I got in I had to hold back as I was reaching my 100 max. I have now reached that and will go at least 5 times bigger.

Re: Help me pick a new humidor
 

I say buy a big cooler and some beads and buy cigars with the rest of $$ left over

Re: Help me pick a new humidor
 

no way man. as nice as his stuff is, i said i have a budget of 150-250 and no way he can custom make one the size i want for that money.

Re: Help me pick a new humidor
 

right now i have a bid in on cigarbid for the treasure dome. we'll see how that goes

Re: Help me pick a new humidor
 

goodluck with bidding

Re: Help me pick a new humidor
 

i'm done bidding i think. i set my max, i'll let it work it out itself.

Re: Help me pick a new humidor
 

GL, hope you get it!

Re: Help me pick a new humidor
 

If i don't get it....i feel a large bombing run in my near future.

Re: Help me pick a new humidor
 

If you don't win, coolers seem to work great also. But j hope you win your auction.

Re: Help me pick a new humidor
 

I have one of those for a desktop...great humi. That was my first upgrade, but like everyone said, you will outgrow it FAST. I use that to keep my higher quality singles in...everything else goes in my cooler.

:tpd: I use a marine cooler to store all of my boxes...yet to have an issue with it.

Re: Help me pick a new humidor
 

something in me wants to go find this auction and bid against you... wahahaha but no i cant buy another humi so ur safe from me!

Re: Help me pick a new humidor

Re: Help me pick a new humidor
 

Stay away from the Treasure Dome... see my thread here:

http://www.cigarasylum.com/vb/showthread.php?t=43147

I just ordered a humidor from Ed at Waxingmoon. Most of them are a bit out of your price range but his base model starts around $250... look at it like an investment. I paid $120 for the treasure dome and it only lasted me 6 months. Sorry, I just saw that the pictures aren't on my post any more... I tried to edit it to put them back but I can't edit it now.

Re: Help me pick a new humidor
 

That was most unfortunate Randy.....hopefully you are back in business?

Re: Help me pick a new humidor
 

Well, the treasure dome is functioning as a removable lid humi for now. It still holds RH but it isn't a long term solution. I'm just counting down the days until I get my Waxingmoon humi from Ed. It's not "on the bench" yet though... he's still tracking down the quilted Maple for it. Thanks for asking!
