The history of my humidors
Often times I'll see new cigar smokers ask "how big of a humidor should I get?" I too asked that same question some 2 years ago. So now, 2 years later, I have assembled I little photo montage of the history "to date" of my humidors.
August 2006 My buddy at work gave my a couple cigars to try and I had no place to store them. This was his sugguestion.  September 2006 I was smoking cigars more often and stumbed upon a very popular cigar board. I got involved in some trades and needed something bigger to store my sticks. I looked around the basement and found this.  September 2006 At this time I started to learn about humidity and hygrometers. I wanted to be able to see my humidity readings. So I hit the local grocery store and came up with this.  October 2006 On the cigar boards it seemed like alot of guys were buying desktop humidors at the time. So I ordered my first (not plastic) humidor. Honestly, at this time I thought this would be the last humidor I ever bought.  The history of my humidors part 2 coming up next...................

Re: The history of my humidors
Part 2
February 2007 Around this time I discovered Skype. While chatting with the guys on there I found that they were buying cigars by the box. That posed a new problem for me and my little desktop. So I placed an order for this. (Sorry for the stock photo...but my footlocker is buried in a cooler that's buried in the basement)  September 2007 My current set up worked pretty good for me. I wasn't buying a ton of cigars in the summer. However, when fall moved in I was back in the buying mode. So I picked up a cooler. (Stock photo again...cause this is the cooler that has the footlocker in it that's buried in the basement) I eventually ended up with 2 of these coolers.  May 2008 By this time my wife was getting a tad aggravated with all the coolers and humidors in our home office. I have to admit that it was pretty ridiculous looking. So after I told her about the cabinet that Dave (68Trishield) had built for him and how nice it was she gave me the green light to order one for myself.  I emptied all my coolers and humidors and put everything I have in the cabinet. Now that I sit here and put this post together I realize how much money I've spent on cooler, humidors, beads, fans, etc....  Anyhow, for all the new guys out there, I'm not saying that you need to start out with a cabinet. I just wanted to show my progression in this hobby. If I had to do it all over again...I would start off with a huge cooler and not with the desktops and such.

Re: The history of my humidors
Pssst. If you take the foot locker out of the cooler, you can buy a lot more cigars.
 I love the cabinet. Very nice. Aisde from outgrowing it, how did the foot locker work for you?

Re: The history of my humidors
That is one awesome thread. I especially like the genesis photo of the cello bag!
 I too have a foot locker and love it. I am in the process of converting a small closet into a humidor so will let you know how that all works out. |
