My first humidor

[Kreth]

Well, with the sale going on at cheaphumidors.com, I think I'm going to pull the trigger on my first humidor. I'm thinking a 100-count should be a good starter humidor, so I'm looking at this model. I confirmed with Customer Service that the available hygrometer upgrade is a Hygroset. With that option, it'll come to $69 shipped.

Looks like a nice box, Congrats

Ahhhh......

The old "I think a 100 will be good for me".

Hmmm.......

Nice humidor indeed.
However, lets do a pool on when you get your next bigger one.

[Mr B]

Nice one.
I thought my 50 ct would be good. Then I thought my additional 100ct would do. Now the Tupperdors are fillin up

[Cigarcop]

You see where this is headed Kreth....your screwed buddy!!!

great point!


also, lets do that pool. Im saying 63 days AFTER he gets his 100 count.

Well, I started with the tupperdor, so I do have that for overflow.

Similar story here. I got my first humi as well this past Christmas. My wife bought it for me. She went on line, and picked it out all on her own (which I think is WAY cool!). It’s a 100ct.

Up until then I was just using a basic Tupperware container same as you. I’m a noob so I don’t require a lot of storage (I know, I know, not yet anyway.) I don’t buy in bulk because I don’t have my preferences nailed down yet. Everything comes from the B&M and I only buy 2 or 3 at a time.

Anyway, Christmas day I started seasoning her up and about a week later I was transferring the few sticks I have over and my wife comes into the room and drops a package on my lap….it was a 25 bundle she picked up from the site she bought the humi at. Again, way cool, but I was like WTF, between the new, the old, and a cup of beads the damn thing is full.

That's a nice looking one you got picked out. I think for us noobs a 100ct is a good place to start, as long as you’re not planning to buy in bulk. Or at least have additional storage plans for that bulk. I like you plan to fall back on the Tupperware.

Same here. I'm mainly at the sampler stage, but I buy online because the selection at my local B&M sucks (plus I'm close enough to CI that standard shipping is one day. ).
I do really like RP Vintage 1990 and 1992, but I don't want to buy in bulk yet in case I find something I like better.

[Footbag]

Looks good... But it a bit small if you ask me.

[SmoknTaz]

Good start and yes as Cigarcop said, "You're screwed buddy!

[acruce]

If you are not planning on long term storage a 100cnt. should soot you just fine. Thats all I have if you get creative you fit quite a few cigars in there.

I bought a 100ct in Dec. and it's almost full already. I keep buying sticks and with this cold weather I can't smoke enough to cancel out how much I put in, lol.

Oh well, gotta find another humi.

Yeah, I know. I have a bunch of sticks I've been wanting to try but I don't want to spend an hour shivering each time to do it.

My 150ct has been full for a couple weeks - It doesnt take long to fill'er up and if the advertised capacity is 100 you'll find you may get 80-90 in there.

My answer - keeping the desktop as I like the look of it and heading out cooler shopping this afternoon.

Welcome and enjoy the ride!
