Newbie smoker here should really listened to the forum....my first humidor filled up within a week.
I'm looking for at least a 150-ct humidor. I wanted to see if anyone is planning to trade up one of theirs for a coolidor, and need one getting ride off. I'm not looking for a handout.
Scratch this...mine is only a 100 count.
Buy a big cooler, can't lose that way
agreed, it doesn't look as cool but it is definately your best buyQuote:

I wish I have room for a cooler. They're so bulky. That, and with a cooler, I'll have evil thoughts staring into all that empty space... Empty humi space=C-bid, C-bid=No $.
Some dude on ebay sells some inexpensive small cabinets . I will have wifey find the link and post it for you later tonight. I have a large humi from him and I am very satisfied with quality and his reputation
The last time I bought a humi on ebay, it had a very, very funky smell that I couldn't get rid of. It was the most expensive wooden box for loose change I've ever paid for.
I guess if you lump all ebay sellers into one bad expirence you had then you have no choice but go find your own humidor by yourself then.
Geez... for 25 bucks those are some nice looking humis. I like the 300 count one.
Hmmm.....
Ya, I think I'm going to put a bid on one...K7 hasn't steered me wrong yet.
I like the 400 box, that could go in the back of the closet.
I might get that cabinet myself LOL
Wow...no offense meant, I was just stating my experience from eBay. I've added the 150 and another on my watch list. But anyone with a 150, or even a 100ct that you don't need, and don't want it to goto waste, let me know.
I trust K7 and if he says it's legit it's good. I'm putting a bid on one of those humi's and if it arrives here I'll post a pic.

(since this is my first bid on e-bay, we'll see if I win!!)
Thinking about getting one of these. I've always wanted one but didn't trust the products quality. I trust Kevin, though. He knows if this turns out bad, that i'm coming for him.

Anyone have any info/experience with these. It's relatively small and would look awesome on my desk.
Edit:
Just read this:
"In order to provide savings for our customers and get the same value, portions of our humidor interior are made of cedar wood. Once the humidor is closed everything inside is sealed. The cedar smell will remain in the box giving positive effect on the flavor of your cigars. Therefore there is no need to make the inside of the humidor completely of cedar. If you research cigar humidors, there is no 100% cedar humidor. All manufacturers use the same method to make their humidors."
hmmm....
It's a nice looking case. I would have a concern with the glass panels. Cigars should be kept in the dark. Kevin would probably go through 100 sticks in a week or so, but they'd be in there for an awfully long time in my house.
A smaller glass humi would make more sense to me if you just want to show off some sticks. Use it as your go-to box. They'll rotate out faster and it will probably be easier to keep stable.
JMHO
I just won the 300ct Humi. They got my payment just a few min ago. When I get it, I'll post pics.
Not to bad mouth a seller i bought the 300 count slanted glass one and was severely dissapointed. Gave it away to a friend who had to add new humidifier elements and caulk the entirety of the plastic window.
I don't ever get humi's with glass.
I agree.Quote:

I own a very high dollar 50 count humi( 500$) and I cannot tell any difference in the quality except it is solid wood and the gloss finish on my expensive one looks 1/2 in deep. They both(cheap&expensive) maintain perfect humidity
If you want a 1400$ Manning then you gotta cough up 1400$
I got my humi today in the mail. I'll post pictures later.

Pictures as promised.

Now, this humi has some nice space. If it can truely hold 300 cigars remains to be scene. Also, the seal on it is nice. I'll post some pictures of it being filled and we'll try and get a true count on what this can hold...more to come.

I really like it, the one thing about mine (yours too maybe) is like Chris mentioned in his post the wood isn't all spanish cedar, only some of the dividers and stuff. That said I just added some additional cedar blocks and stuff from boxes and it is doing great. Couldn't beat it for the price. it would have been at least $500+ if it was all spanish cedar as K7 mentions.
Enjoy the new Humi dude!

Wow, very nice humi. Please update us on how it is. I may purchase one in the future.
This one is nice, to bad it has all that glass.

For what it's worth, I'd never buy a humidor with glass. Cigars should be in the dark, exposure to light and heat will affect them adversely.

So it would appear to me they are marketing it as an end table humi.
Then again, the felt lined bottom does support your idea.
So Chris - would you please post some picks of this humi when it arrives with something next to it like a soda can so I can get an idea of its size?

We loaded this humdior with many top of the line features like:

Thats too bad. I am looking for an end table Humi.
Ok, so since this is composite, do i still need to wet down the whole humi when seasoning it or just the parts made of cedar?
I would just wipe it all down but only with a slightly damp cloth, then wipe it again with a dry cloth. This is mostly just to clean it.
Then soak the humi foam or put beads in it or something and leave until it hits 70%
