Default Need help with a Humidor

Alright guys, I need help buying a humidor. Looking for one that holds anywhere from 150-300 cigars. It will be my 1st humidor, but I want to get something nice that will last and keep my cigars fresh for long term storage as well as short term. Can yall suggest a specific humidor and the best place to buy it. Also if I will need anything else for the humidor to get started, I know most come equipped but just wandering if I need to buy anything else to go with it besides cigars to fill it up. Thanks for your help,
Jon

Buy a digital hygrometer (analog are generally unreliable).

Then season your humidor:

Treasure Dome for under $100 (around $92 for mine if I remember correctly) shipped to your door courtesy of The Devil

Nope... same thing happened to me. Damn lid fell right off. That's why I'm having Ed at Waxingmoon make me a new one! I highly suggest steering clear of the Treasure dome.
