Re: A Basic Humidor Buying Guide
I'm currently only sporting a very small "20-count" humidor. It's a very cheap one that came with a 25 pack of samplers from Thompson cigar. (I've actually learned my lesson from that purchase and that's a story for another time)
My question is -> I'm looking for a 50-75 or maybe even 100 count that's of decent quality and is affordable on a college student's budget (say between $50-$100). I really love the wood humi's that have a nice dark finish. I've read so many great things here about selection already but there are just so many options out there I don't want to end up with something that's really more of a gimmick than a good durable humidor. |

Re: A Basic Humidor Buying Guide
I would avoid a glasstop for your first larger humidor. They are very fickle when it comes to maintaining a constant Rh. Be sure to factor in the cost of 2-4oz of beads and a good digital hygrometer. I like Heartfeltindustries 65% beads.

Re: A Basic Humidor Buying Guide
I hear that those are deceptively large. I don't know if I would be able to accomodate a bigger one.

Re: A Basic Humidor Buying Guide
Humidors are notoriously small, very rarely will you come close to fitting the 'capacity' that is listed. Unless, of course, you are storing cigarillos and PC's. The Treasure Dome is about the size of a small microwave.
