What's the market for hand made humidors?

[CoventryCat86]

I don't think there's much of a market for them at all. You can find MANY nice looking humidors dirt cheap which is what most beginners do. Once they get serious about the "hobby" they quickly outgrow the small humidors and are on to larger storage schemes like coolerdors, etc.

Actually, the target market for this kind of humidor, unlike the cheap mdf crap that makes up most of the larger humidors for sale, would be the people seeking a high quality one of a kind piece of art. I doubt it would be a very large market, but it does exist.

It is very reasonable to sell minimally around $300

Wow, I have some crazy ebony african sculpture on top of a humidor stuck in my mind now. Its pretty cool for all of you who cannot read my thoughts.

Exactly. Same kind of a person who would buy a $3000 Aristocrat instead of a couple $15 coolers.

You do some good work there. I think you would be great at building humidors, but like what everyone said before, just make a couple and see how it goes. Who knows, one day you might have orders from people on this forum!!!
