Re: Beginner Questions (Ask Them Here!)
 

Is a CAO Sensi-Box really has bad as everyone(well, google reviews that is) make them seem? Anyone have one? I just picked one up for $20 to hold my cigars for the time being to see if this is something i really want to get into rather than wasting $50+ on a good Humidor... Any suggestions?

Re: Beginner Questions (Ask Them Here!)
 

I don't see spending money on a good humidor as a waste of money. On the contrary, it's an investment.

Agreed. Besides saying that wasting $50 on a good humidor is a contradiction in and of itself. ;)

I have one. It holds rh perfectly at 45% and will not get any higher. Wanna go cheap? Get some Gladware or a cooler.

Re: Beginner Questions (Ask Them Here!)
 

Check out cheap humidors.com and thank me later.

Re: Beginner Questions (Ask Them Here!)
 

That is CI's sister brother website!?! I always check prices there before ordering online.

Re: Beginner Questions (Ask Them Here!)
 

I don't believe that it is owned by CI but I could be wrong.

Re: Beginner Questions (Ask Them Here!)
 

Nevermind that was Humidor.com I was talking about;s

It works for me becasue it is the only CI site I can access while at work.

Re: Beginner Questions (Ask Them Here!)
 

Haha but yeah cheaphumidors.com is my go to best price and selection IMO. I try to stay away from CI, I dislike them as a vendor /rant.

Re: Beginner Questions (Ask Them Here!)
 

I don't have any issues to date with CI, however I can't access many cigar sites from work. Humidors.com is about the only one.

Re: Beginner Questions (Ask Them Here!)
 

I don't it came out right... I didn't necessarily mean wasting money, just however since I'm fairly new into.the whole cigar thing, I don't want to drop $50+ on a little humidor. If I do feel this.is something I want to do, I will absolutely spend the necessary coin on a great humidor...

Thanks for the replies guys. I saw a ton of mixed reviews about the CAO sensibox.

Re: Beginner Questions (Ask Them Here!)
 

I just received my new humi from Thompson's humidor/sample offer....they sent me a 20ct humi and 25 smokes, is this too many for my humidor? Or am I just over thinking it?

I wished I would have sent with cheaphumidors.com now, they have much better deals, oh well live and learn I guess.

Re: Beginner Questions (Ask Them Here!)
 

Smoke 5, problem solved.:r
From what I understand you can keep the extras in tupperware for a few days if they won't fit in the humidor.

Re: Beginner Questions (Ask Them Here!)
 

The size ratings of humidors are estimates and not all of them are based on the same size cigars.

Put your cigars in and see how they fit. You don't want it completely stuffed, but if it's mostly full, then you're ok.

If you can't put them all in, get a tupperware container and stick the excess in there until you smoke them.

Re: Beginner Questions (Ask Them Here!)
 

They actually fit in there ok, in fact I could probably put another 7-10 sticks in there and still be ok.

Thanks guys!

Re: Beginner Questions (Ask Them Here!)
 

Hi,
hope anybody can help me on these matter;
when it come to choose a wine chiller to be our cigar storage...is there any particular thing that we need to consider beside size and design... like do we need to consider between thermoelectric and compressor system?is that really matter in order to keep cigars?

thanks

Re: Beginner Questions (Ask Them Here!)
 

Thermoelectric is preferred. I believe it was Scott (Shilala) that had a compressor conversion thread up somewhere though.

Re: Beginner Questions (Ask Them Here!)
 

Go with thermo electric if your going to put beads in the wine cooler. BUT with that said, I have a compressor with tupperwear that slides perfectly in the rack slots. I keep a thing of beads and each and it's perfect. The prime reason for buying mine however was to control temp and this does it perfectly.

Long time lurker, first time post.

I recently met a guy that had a Xikar VX V Cutter. I cut my cigar with it and instantly fell in love. I'm not having a lot of luck finding places to buy one online.

Any recommendations?
