Humidor Feedback

Foubou05 · 02/27/2014 10:48 AM

Looking to purchase a humidor that can hold 100-150 cigars with a budget of no more than 200$. I shopped on cheaphumidors.com and other cigar shop sites but there are so many choices and don't want to make the mistake of buying a bad humidor with poor seal.

Any suggestions on good humidors? Or ones to stay away from?
Thanks a bunch!

made my own for about the same price. And could have made it 3x bigger for hardly 30$ more... thats not a bad avenue either, and its a fun project...

Check the seal when you get it. If it's good keep it and if it's bad return it.

Treasure Dome. Can usually get for under $120 on the bidding sites or on special.

Do you want an actual humidor for display? If the storage is all you need, you can set up a very large coolidor for less than $200.

Pascal, welcome to the site. Head over to the newbie intro forum and introduce yourself at http://www.cigargeeks.com/index.php?board=43.0

In the meantime, spending that much money should get you a good humidor online. Find one that looks good to you from a reputable site, and if it doesn't seal well upon receipt, send it back.

I picked up one of these for $140+ freight on the devil site. Works great, and holds a good amount of sticks. Of course, I already need a bigger humi, but that's how this obsession works!

I have several of the Man O' War 100 count. I have gotten them for under $50 at times on CBid. Great seal. No issues at all

Yes more for display. I like the look of them in my man cave. Gives it a neat look. I am not counting out the coolidor for more space but they look more complicated to setup + i am not really there yet in terms of # of cigars in stock. I generally average 50-75 in stock so the coolidor may be too big for the cigars i keep.
