Another humi recommendation post

OK, I know all the arguments and the pro vs con of glass tops and such. I just want to know which of these two y'all like best. They are both by Cuban Crafters, so I'm not really worried about the overall quality (not that I won't inspect the hell out of whichever one I get). Anyway, here they are:

Bravo Humidor in Cherry (also in rosewood) holds 120:

Oro Humidor in burl maple holds 100:

I like the design of the Bravo (including the "windows"), but I haven't seen many like the Oro. I think it's a handsome piece. Capacity (so far) is not a huge deal to me; that's what a cooler is for (or a trunk...I'm lookin' at you chefchris).

Thanks folks!

#2 is nice

I like #2 also.

i think they both look really nice. the first one is real cool with the glass, but i would be worried about them getting to much light. but that depends on where you keep em. the second one is real sharp looking though. i prefer darker woods though.

They both look great, I perfer #2 though.

Another vote for #2:smiley20:

#2 for sure.

you know what? i'm gonna go against the flow here and say I would definately choose #1. Any of you naysayers have a problem, you know how to contact me.




i'm tough.

#2 gets my vote.

I'd go for #2 as well. Hell, you might want to follow in the footsteps of folks before you and put a poll up, and purchase whichever one gets the most votes.

Looks like I already have a winner...:smiley41:

So you're going with #1 ?

Sorry, bud. Gotta go with #2. But I'll always remember you as they guy who did it his own way.

I like #2 cuz it's light tight.

haha, i can live with that.

#2 is ok ... i guess.

That's kinda cool - 3 posts at 1:58.

I like #2 better. I don't like how the hygrometer is built into #1.

I don't like it how those built-in hygrometers don't work worth a crap and you have to look at it day in and day out knowing it. Same with multifunctional machines... good call with #2.

ya, but they sure are purty.

I would go with #1
that is because I own one and have had great luck with it. If you have any questions pm me!

for those that have a distrust in the built in hygrometers I say exactly..........i went with my glass-top so that I can look through the glass to view my digital hygrometer. I trust the built-in one as much as I trust Bill Clinton with my wife......oooooooh.......

Whats wrong with having a glass top? If you keep the light situation under control I see no downfalls to using one. Unless I'm missing something then I would appreciate knowing why.

I do like the first one. Its a little different, but when it comes down to putting $$ over the table, I would pick #2

i disagree with everyone that went with #2

I am right....I know I am

Well, initially I went with #2. My local guy ordered it for me. I got it yesterday, but I didn't like it as much when I opened it. If it were $50 that would be one thing, but it was $130. He let me bring it back and I picked out another Cuban Crafters from his stock. I went with this one:

Not as fancy, but with the price difference I picked out an ass-load of cigars from his shop. Now I just gotta season this sucka.

Thanks everyone for your support!!!

that's the same one i've got, i've only had one problem with it... tooooo small :smiley2:

its a great humi, good pick:smiley20:

Well that one is nice too...I like number two the best but I think it would be better with the coloring and art work of one.

thats a nice one too! i am into the darker woods, so that looks really nice. i also like the hygro built where it is in the lid. def looks very nice!

100 count right?

Maybe I'm reading your post wrong, but usually the hygrometer is not built into the wood on the inside. It is usually just held in place by some adhesive. I like those better because I don't have any use for the analog hygrometer, and I just never applied mine on the inside.

Yeah, the hygrometer is plastic and kinda cheese, but it is adjustable. I may use it as a general reference if it works ok, but I bought a 65% Puck so I should be in good shape without a hygrometer. If I decide I need one I'll get a digital one from him too.

It is a 100 count, but I think this particular one is out of stock (discontinued?) at CC. If you want one, my local B&M has a few more. PM me an I'll send you their digits.

I got that same humidor for Christmas, but a darker cedar.

no you read it right, i just said it wrong. i meant i like it in/on the lid, rather then built on the side(being able to see it when closed)

More room in the first one? But hey bigger is not always better.
