    thats some pretty impressive going there logan!

    just ordered some beads and a cheap hygrometer- so hopefully have a homemade set up sorted pretty soon

    still probably going to go for a small humidor as well though, later on- which will hopefully limit my spending somewhat as i head off to uni/college!

    probably going to buy off cgarsltd.co.uk (cheers for the link SJR- im in high wycombe atm, but soon to be colchester for uni, how bout you?)
    and get a sampler with the humidor.

    any thoughts on these three? am probably going to go for the cherrywood one, just on price, and that it will prob be better than the jar.

    and, slightly more money, is it worth it?

    and the cheapest- would keep on its side as mrtr33 suggests vertical is not the best for sticks

    IMO - not the jar, unless it's just something to have around besides your real humidor. On the other two - I think they are over-priced. You might look here, or here.

    yeah, they do seem overpriced, shop around more. the 2 links from basil are good online stores. I bought mine from cheaphumidors.com which is basil's 2nd link. it was about half of the price of the ones you're looking at. not sure what the shipping rates are to uk. i paid 10 bucks for shipping.

    Don't buy the jar no matter how tempting the price. I bought a nice one with a cedar lid and bottom, and it was never at a stable humidity no matter what i did. they are absolutely worthless based on my experience.

    pretty much, after the shipping and poss import duties, it works out at about the same as just buying from over here, unless you go with bulk.
    same with most things, be it laptops, music, longboards, or tabaco etc!

    which makes living in the uk infuriating sometimes as the prices in the US are so cheap! esp with the strong £

    time for a holiday...
