This is sort of a mixed bag as I think all of us have used different folks for their boxes.
I had mine made for me while working overseas and it works very well (save for the top shelf still haven't figured out what the deal is there.)
My good friend v00d3w got his via Cigars International and likes his very well. Holds about 150.
A mutual friend of he and I's got his box from a local brick and mortar shop to himself (

If your strictly entry level? My personal advice is to smart smaller like a 50 to 100. Get used to the idea of maintaining it, learn how Rh works and how to balance your 'dor. Just my
If your bound and determined to go for a big box then again start with something simple without many frills. My personal experience has been humidors that are mass manufactured such as Thompsons, or CI with glass or outside drawers have poor seals. Your Mileage May Vary, obviously and I'm sure someone may have had a different experience than myself. I go old fashion and adhere to KISS. Solid wood, no frills, no glass, no drawers all in my mind mean less chance of poor sealing
Dunno if that helps or not but welcome to the party and good luck!
