Re: Buying used humidors?
Like others have said above, inspection is a must. I bought a 300 count small tower from Craigslist a couple years ago. Before I met the guy I asked if it was only used to store cigars, and he said yes, so I met the seller in a public place. Cosmetically it was fine, but the "sniff test" discovered that it had a strong odor of infused cigars. The seller then admitted that it had only been used for infused cigars and aromatic pipe tobacco. That really wasn't what I was looking for, but he then offered it so cheaply that I decided to buy it and see if I could deodorize it. Every method failed, so I re-purposed and now keep my own infused cigars in it. But personal inspection is the key to success on buying used humidors.
