Default Best place to buy Cabinet Humidor in NC

In the process of buying a bigger house. Hope to be moving in within the next week. Has a large basement with a large finished room, and a 2 car garage. Thinking on building myself a cigar smoking room, maybe 10 x 10 in the basement as well. Right now I'm keeping all of my cigars in two 48qt coolers and a 50ct humidor. Would like to maybe purchase a nice cabinet humidor within the next 8 months to a year for the "cave" when it gets built. See alot of them online, but the shipping is always like $200+. Just wondering if anybody knew of a place in North Carolina where I might be able to find one for a decent price. Checked JR's site, but didn't see anything about large cabinet humidors. Only wanting some like a 750-1000 ct though. Doesn't have to be too big. Just looking for one with several shelves for singles, and a little room for some boxes.

Honestly watch CBid and you will get it for below the cost of the cabinet.

Just checked CBid again. Watching a couple on there. $185 shipping, not too bad. Guessing these things come fully assembled? Also, if MSRP is really $2000 on a particular model, $600 would be a good deal. Wondering how much of a loss if any CBid takes...

Well.....it used to be Furniture country anyway. High Point still has the market, but most of the furniture plants around here have been shut down for several years now. Just like the textiles....moved away for cheaper labor.

As for one being built, how hard is Spanish Cedar to come by? I'm guessing it would have to be ordered through a specialty wood dealer.

Go west, young man - thirty minutes on the Mighty I-40 puts you in Hickory. They still know what to do with wood there, brother.

Got mine on CBid for less than $450 to my door with shipping. BengalMan got his for less than $500 to his door. Yes, they are fully assembled. Just be patient and wait for the right one at the right price.

If your going to do it, do it right and save for an Aristocrat is my opinion

What you shared so far, sounds like you have all of the makings of a pretty cool set up downstaris, why not get the best in the business

This is coming from someone with two Vinos saving for an Aristocrat

I am in Raleigh if your ever in town

Used to come down to Raleigh 3 nights a week on the train. Been running to Lynchburg VA for the past 6 months though. I'll look into these Aristocrats you're talking about.

I have a buddy in Gastonia selling one. I have the same one as him and love it. I will post pics and check what he wants when I get home. I know he was also including an Oasis with it too and he is still storing cigars in it so you could basically load it up when you get home without any prep. Not sure how much of a ride that would be for you but it may be worth the ride as I think he was only looking to get a few hundred dollars

This is the Cab I know is for sale. http://www.bargainhumidors.com/bh/Pr...ductid=HUM-BH3
I believe he was looking to get $300 w/ a Cigar Oasis.
I have the same one and it has been great for me so far for over 2 years.
