I just wanted to list a few of these Humidors and see what you guys thought as far as how well they will or might work. My Humidor knowledge is very limited so bear with me please. Thanks for the help.

Thanks for looking and feel free to recommend anything around 100ish. Also What Humidor accessories I would need with them to keep the humidity Ideal. (Most come with humidification and Hydrometer.) Thanks Guys.

Best advice, always buy bigger than you think you will need. You will fill up your first humi really fast.

When I first started, I was told endlessly to just buy a coolerdor (literally, an ice chest set up with humidity control). I remember there being a great sticky about how to set one up, but I can't seem to find it... Will edit if I do find it. As far as humidity, heartfelt industries makes beads that control humidity that are probably the best you'll find.

It sounds a bit extreme, but I wish I would have set one up when I started... I'm about to have to set one up shortly.

You will need some beads...This guy is reputable. He pretty much has all you need to start up a humidor or cooler.http://www.heartfeltindustries.com/

Coolers work great....and if you decide to go a different route, they'll keep your beer cold too.

I've got a humidor, and then I built a coolidor because I started outgrowing my humidor.

Save the money and just buy a cooler and build one. Spend that money that you saved on more smokes!
