The cooler is the way to go if you plan on buying alot of cigars (and its cheap). I still like to have a few humidors to put my singles in (since I managed to almost fill my 2nd cooler even with 10+ cigar trays). However, if you do plan on buying that humidor the cheapest place to get it is on Ebay. I just got the exact model for $52 (that includes shipping). Just look through Ebay and you should see the model, its preatty common (it will be about $30 and about $20 for shipping if you get it from the same person I bought it from). Hell you may even find some other cool humidors on Ebay.
