I just wanted to share with you guys that I have purchased my first humidor. It's a small desktop that will hold around 25 sticks. After chatting with several folks here I was considering going the tupperdor route but my amazing wife said she wanted me to have something a little nicer than that (who am I to argue). I am truly excited as I begin this amazing journey and I hope you'll permit me to share it with you. Thanks to everyone's patience and advice with the newbie questions. I do so appreciate your guidance.

Won't be long before you'll be needing a tupperdor anyway if you stick around these parts!

 

And so it begins...

Yes sir.

John, I started out with this:

Which led to this:

So that's what my future holds? Maybe I should start buttering the Mrs up now.

That's probably a very smart move!  And pick up some spare tupperware just in case...

The journey begins.Buy something big or your wasting your time.

You can use that cigars humidors are converting to metric. You take the number of cigars u think u want to keep. Double it and add 32!

nice! this was latest add. the cabinets are full...

 

I'm a newby also. I bought a 50 count desktop humidor - really holds 30 - 35 sticks. A week later I bought a 125 count humidor - really holds 75-80 sticks. We're both starting a journey, but I'm space limited since we are full -time travelers living in our motorhome as we travel the USA. Best of luck and enjoy!

Thanks Koop, you too. Safe travels. Keep in touch.

Don't be a Dave..... He spends one of his days off doing humidor maintenance.  Or he opens 10 humidors just to find the cigar he was looking for

I don't think I have that kind of patience but who knows where this journey will take me.

There actually are advantages to having multiple humidors.  In the off-chance a tobacco beetle outbreak or mold problems develop, it's isolated to one humidor and a relatively small number of cigars.  And while my online humidor is woefully out of date, my humidors are pretty well sorted.  One for Fuentes, one for Pepins, one for 5 Vegas, etc.  I've got one for moochers and yard-gars that's the free-for-all BBQ time humidor.

I started with a 25 ct. humidor and now........look what happened!

Take that, Don!

You'll enjoy it no matter what route you choose. Congrats on your first one!
