Hey guys...looking to buy a new humidor. My old one is not working well and it's getting a little too crowded. Here are the things I am looking for in my next humidor. I was wondering if you guys can makesome suggestions for me. Thanks.
- Adjustable hygrometer with external view
- 125 cigar minimum
- Looking for good quality that has a great seal
- I'd like to stay under $100
Here is what I am thinking of buying. http://www.thompsoncigar.com/product...93/pc/8389.uts
Thanks for your input.
Don't buy from Thompson, although I admit I got my start with them.
Get a cooler & humidity beads.

Got my first humi from Thompson's too....but I'd never buy anything from them again, not because of the humi, they just suck.
Try looking at cuban crafters, they sometimes have good deals and I've heard good things about their stuff and service, etc.
I use a cooler for most of my stash, and that's by far the most economical and worry free storage device around imo.
Jamie is dead on with the coolerdor being your best bet.
If you heart is set on a desk top, try here.

They start at $120.00 and are far better then anything at Thompson's.
I have the 12X24 Birdseye Maple and it's the best humidor I have.
Infact outside of that humidor and a 50ct Don Salvatore, I gave all my others away.
I store 90% of my cigars in a coolerdor. I only keep cigars that I'm going to smoke within the next 60 days or so inside my desktops.

My wife bought me a 500 count from there last x'mas and I'm happy with it. It seals well, looks good and the price was decent. They did double ship the order though. So I had to send a second one back......as much as I'd like to have kept it.......LOL
Also, a fellow I know ordered a 2000 count humi from them and it arrived damaged. He shipped it back and had them reship a new one and it too arrived with some minor damage that didn't affect it's seal. He complained and they discounted the price for him. FWIW, I know they also sell damaged (with seal unaffected) humi's too if you want to save a few bucks.
I have this one, and am very happy with it. The only problem I have found is exactly what everybody warned me about... I have out grown it alot quicker than I had anticipated. My next stop is to build myself a coolidor.

I live in Miami, so I was able to go to Cuban Crafter's main store and buy it in person to avoid shipping cost. Other than cosmetic appearance, I wouldn't even waste your time with the included analog hygrometer. Get yourself a digital one.
Good luck!
I have a Cuban Crafters humidor and one made from a cigar box and I am about to grow out of the desktop Humidor. I will be making a coolidor or similar (maybe one out of an old 3.2 cubic foot fridge).
The Cuban Crafters Humidor is rock solid..no humidity problems or seal issues.
And if you are looking to go cheap, go to your local B&M store and tell them you want a cigar box for humidor and want it to seal well....they may have something hiding in back....that is where I got mine, add a humifation device and hygrometer and you are set for under $20 for a 15-25 stick holder.
