    Default High Priced High end Humidors Vs Hand Made

    Is there a market out there for Hand made quality Humidors that are solid wood construction with the finest details? I just see so many imports and so many brands that dont seem to offer much on the high end for the cost. I started my own line, and i think it is fabulous, please assist me with your ideas or thoughts on this.

    Mine is the following: Summary:

    21" wide X 15" deep X 8" tall.
    Hand-Made with 100% solid wood (no veneer or MDF).
    Consists of Figured Cherrywood, premium Spanish Cedar and Wenge trim and dovetails.
    Electronic, microprocessor controlled humidifier with AC and batter control.
    10" X 8" engraved U.S Seal on the top lid.
    Left-side cigar box storage capable of 200 cigars and right-side double traus for up to 100 individual cigars.
    10-year Warranty and signed Letter of Authenticity.

    There is indeed a market. One of our members makes art that doubles as humidors.

    Smile Humidors

    Thank you for taking your time. Yes quite unique and amazing. I was thinking that if a person really wanted to they could just put thier pride in a tupaware bowl with a sponge. However since we are humans with emotions doesnt it make sense to put them in something that is pleasing to our senses as well as functional?

    thanks again for your thoughts

    My Humidor

    That's a link to mine with a thread showing everyone's humi / stash.

    I agree with your comment about a tupperware & sponge vs. beautiful humi like yours. Some people combine hobbies I guess is what it boils down to. Mabye some people like an expensive humi to show off their stash, and others want to spend their time & money on just the cigars.

    To each their own!

    That is certainly some exceptional work. However, you need to shitcan the Thompson's cigars in your display. Do you enjoy fine cigars?

    Also, would you quote a price range for such a piece? Brothers here range from professionals to salt of the earth kind of folks. Where we fit is not often obvious. I would not spend on a desktop like that, but I know of a few who would.

    Yep, just because someone doesn't choose to spend big $$$ on a humi, doesn't mean that they couldn't.

    The money spent on this desktop would probably buy a 1000ct temp and humidity controlled cabinet. Each has its purpose. I know of a CEO who has an antique 200ct, a fabulous piece that cost almost as much as my house. Its what he wanted and it represented couch change to him.

    Default High End Humidors

    Bruce,
    I do appreciate your comments good times!! We have been selling the Humidors around the $1,600-1,800 price range. What I like is to get some American Made Manufacturing back to the USA and stop out sourcing all our fricken jobs. As for the cigars, your right about the Thompsons, it was either Thompson cigars in the photo or no hinges (:

    Well, I think you want to just click on the link, hit reply, post your humi, and you should bump the thread to the top of the accessories board.

    The oldest post is the bottom of the pile

    Thanks,
    Will

    Yep, it's a nice humi and there is a market for those. If posting on boards is your marketing model. I bet you'll sell one or two a year.

    Personally, I like volume and RH consistancy v. fancy looking. Which is why one desk top now has my oldests lego's in it and the other has my twins matchbox cars in it. All my cigars are in the coolers in the basement.
