never heard any complaints about Cuban Crafters or CI's products or service and i've had nothing but good experiences myself... plus all the cigars in those combos are great.

I actually just traded a member here (Wingfan) for the humi in the second link in my last post... but FunkyCold5 brings up a good point... try one of these::

Thanks for all the replies.

I understand the benefits of using a cooler (I think) but I dont really want to use one to start out with. Because I kinda like the idea of having a nice good looking wood humi. Althouugh as my collection grows I will most definitely use a cooler eventually. I want to start with a humidor though, Im just stubborn like that I guess.

I think I am down to btw these couple humis.
Il Duomo - This is my favorite one so far. I am really leaning towards buying this one.
MUSEOROSA
COMBO BRAVO - I really like this combo, thnx for finding it ReV

As for the beads, I see they come in 60%, 65%, and 70%. How do I know which ones to get? I assume the different % are for fine tuning to your tastes or something like that, am I correct? And I read in a few others posts that you can never have enough beads, so if my humi that I get needs 3oz going by the calculator on Heartfelt.com could I just get 4oz and be done with it? Do I just put the tube in the humi just like a cigar or is there some special positing you have to do with it?

Also what about caring for the humi? Or dont you have to worry about it too much once its setup and stabilized?

I just got myself a 2nd humidor, was thinking about doing the coolidor thing but don't think I need that many cigars, I mean how many can I smoke anyway. Besides I love the look, feel and smell of a humidor. What ever you decide on I'm sure you will enjoy it. Oh the 100 cigars you may not like, glad I'm not your friend LOL I hate it when somebody gives me a bad cigar!

Well they really dont smoke cigars that often. Only when they are with me mostly, so they pretty much smoke what ever. Only recently has my one friend started to acquire a taste for the finer smokes.

Couldn't tell you about your 100 stick deal... but if you can buy the humi out right for less, i'd do that an order a good bundle stick like Don Kiki's or Tampa Sweethearts... combo isn't worth it unless the sticks are decent, investigate whatever cigars you're getting first.

Serious cigars has a great selection and great prices. If I am ever in Texas it will be on my list of places to stop. I like the fact you can order single cigars at they don't jack up the price. I also like the fact if you order over $100 they have some hard to get smokes as promos. On my last order I got a 4 pack of AF Hemingway Work of Art for $32.00. Tell Ron he has a great thing going there.
