I'm a "get by as cheap as I can" type of guy! I've got a variety of storage systems, none of them are name brand or particularly expensive. I use two "Lucky 7" humidors for most of the daily smokes I keep available. These are from Thompson Cigars, which most people eschew. They can latch onto you and bug you (apparently), but I've never had that issue with them. But again, I don't give them email or phone numbers! The Lucky 7's are drawer type humidors that advertise 200 capacity. However, like ALL humidors I've seen, I'd discount the advertised capacity by 25%. Capacity is somewhat of a marketing ploy, but based in truth, just based around a standard cigar size of robusto or maybe petite corona, and most of us have a wider variety of stick sizes. So expect to store less than advertised. I like the drawer type of the Lucky 7 because it gives me greater visibility when hunting for sticks, and I don't have to rummage around thru a mass of sticks. The Lucky 7's I have needs sealing around the glass (plexiglass) front, but being from Mississippi, you know that we have higher humidity in the south, so I don't have as much issue keeping the 60-63% Rh level I prefer.

Whatever you get, make sure it has a good seal. Of course, if you open it a lot to take and put cigars, the humidity will always be an issue. Consider a smaller desktop for holding 20-40 sticks you will smoke in the following weeks, then a larger unit for longer term storage that will not be opened on a daily basis. Get some type of humidification system for the humis. I use humidity beads. Two main types available. You can do a forum search for "beads" and will find more info that you'd believe on the beads. I prefer the ones from Heartfelt, but have, and use both types, and they seem to preform about the same for me.

I (and many BOTL here) use insulated coolers for long term storage. You can do a search for "coolidor" on the forum, and again, lots of info.

I can't speak to the Bally 100, but with the "window" on the top, you will want to make sure the window has a good seal. This may mean taking apart the molding around the glass ? plexiglass? and sealing with a non-aromatic caulk, and reassembling (I haven't done it on my Lucky 7's, because I don't lose that much humidity to make the effort required for a better seal). Also, with the glass top, you would need more care about setting something on top of it.

Check cheaphumidors.com Good selection at reasonable prices, and I think they get mainly good reviews on service.
