Purchasing my first Humi

[Ticker]

Hey everyone,

I've been looking at the humidors over at cigars international and I think I've found a little one I like. I've decided to get one there (save on shipping charges) as I'm also purchasing a cigar mold or two since I'm currently growing my own tobacco and plan on rolling my own sticks.

The humidor is called the Cigar Band Mosaic II Humidor - 20 Capacity. It looks spiffy and is only $20.. but thats what has me worried. I'd post a link of it but I'm not sure if it is permitted. If someone could fill me in on that it would be great. Another thing that has me worried is that there isn't a hygrometer. I spoke with one of their representatives on the phone who told me the solution should take care of the humidity level so there is no need to worry. After reading through Lopaka's guide and other thread in this section I'm fairly certain that theres a little more to it than that.

Your thoughts

Thanks in advance,

$20 doesn't really make it guaranteed to be a bad humidor, I would suggest though going bigger as you will definitely outgrow a 20 ct. in no time at all.

Thanks for the reply. I would like to go bigger but I don't have the funds for something larger and I'm just starting so if I can find something bigger for around the same price range I would but I doubt that.

Plus, I gotta save a bit of $$ for the actual cigars lol.

What do ya think about not having a hygrometer in it?

beads
coolerdor

Definitely what Ash said. Look up coolerdor and beads. with beads you really don't need to worry about the hygrometer and a coolerdor is a very simple way to go big on a budget. I have one that cost me $18 when it was all said and done and hold about 10 boxes of cigars.
