what should I look for in a humidor?

i've never had one because i normally only have 3-5 cigars at a time and i just buy those plastic bag humidors every month or so. they're supposed to last 90 days, but i feel safer buying a new one once a month. but anyway...i'm babbling. i'm reading about these guys having problems with keeping their humidor at the right level and was wondering what should i look for in shopping for one. i have a box of cubans coming and i don't want to depend on my plastic bag to keep them in.

Since you dont seem to keep very many cigars around, I would look into a humidor that holds ~50 cigars. Make sure it seals tightly (you should almost hear the air "woosh" out when you close it. And it should be lined with cedar. That should give you a nice start.

This is a good one that I have. It holds its temp and humidity well. And there is absolutely no way you can beat the price. That site is the best for online cigars and merchandise BTW.
