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.

Reflection

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?
