Bubba - NJ · 10-17-2010, 03:49 PM

Does anybody have any experience with this cabinet or the vendor ? http://www.cigarhumidors-online.com/...noenlarge.html . Looks pretty nice .

Looks nice, and robust to

The second drawer looks like it takes up a lot of storage. For that price you might want to check out this one, I know a few on here have it and Cheap humidor are good people to deal with.

Looks nice and all, although for me $500 for a 700 cap small cabinet. You're getting dangerously close to tower pricing, which can hold 3-4 times as much.

Looks like a very nice humi. I personaly have the Montegue end table humidor which I have found to be great. Good size top drawer and plenty of storage in the cabinet for boxes.

I have alot of singles so I picked up a couple cedar trays that I put single in on the top shelf of the lower cabinet.

I have experience with this humidor and vendor, and no experience with cigarhumidors-online.com...I would go with this for the price and spend the extra scratch on boxes....which you will be able to store more of with this cabinet.

My end table humi is about that big and can be filled really quickly (trust me on this) Mine holds RH really nice even with a glass top. Nice looking piece of furniture you would want out not hidden.

smokinsam · 01-13-2014, 07:18 PM

After several months of research, I finally ordered this humidor. My selection criteria was: capacity over 300+ and must be end table-type. I looked at many sites only to find that the best prices were at Cheap Humidor and Premium Humidors. Premium Humidors is owned by Maverick products who makes (or distributes) many of the humidors I was interested in.

The Montague looked like an impressive unit, however, the $525 price tag was a bit over my budget. I paid $399 for my unit and ~$160 in shipping (the other folks were upwards of $599 for the unit and ~$250 to ship.

The Craftsman was a favorite, but I wanted the second drawer as I have many loose sticks and both gave me ample box storage...

I'm beginning the seasoning process this week (1/13/14) and will be ordering up an active humidification unit later this week too.

Cheers!

I've been pleased with this humidor: http://www.tampahumidor.com/sd4/prod...midor-5707.cfm

Bubba - NJ · 10-18-2010, 06:50 PM

I've been looking around for quite a while and can never seem to make up my mind . Just can't swing an Aristocrat . The only thing I don't like about the Montegue is the split doors but they don't bother me that much . The Verona appeals to me also but I don't like the glass door on it . Has anyone had any success with the make an offer options on Cheaphumidors.com or Tampahumidor.com ? I have 2-90 qt. coolers filled that I would love to have fit in my new cabinet .

chippewastud79 · 10-18-2010, 06:52 PM

The Devil had cabinets that might come in at almost half the price. I know a number of members who have gotten their cabinets delivered for under $500.

Bubba - NJ · 10-18-2010, 07:14 PM

Does the devil really charge $249.00 to ship one of these cabinets ? I'm guessing they drop ship them from Florida because I don't live too far from their store . So that is the only way I could see the high shipping charge .

The single reason I don't buy humidors from the devil site. RAPED on shipping. Though I've been looking at the cigars.

I did both times, but I believe the maximum discount is 5%.

Yes, I got my Montague last week. I offered just under 15% off like the fine print says on their site. So, 525$ for no discount and offered 460$. Their shipping calculator is either off or just BS since it said my shipping would be
50$ from Fl to Va. My shipping was actually 125$ which when you add it to my discount the price was same in the end as the regular price with 50$ shipping.
Either way great packaging no damage and the wood was already at 62% RH when I got it which made seasoning fast.

Bubba - NJ · 10-22-2010, 03:09 PM

Here is a little info from my experience with a few vendors that sell cabinet humidors . First - Call them for an accurate shipping quote , I called 3 vendors and spoke to 2 of them , both quoted the shipping incorrectly on their web-sites . 2 quoted higher over the phone and said the website quotes were off . Secondly , 2 vendors were willing to adjust pricing when I asked if they could do better on the price . I ended up bidding on the Sentinel on Cbid and won it , I saved about $150.00(even after the ridiculous shipping charge) and it's coming from a vendor I'm comfortable with and is well known . Third , Sales people make claims over the phone that I really don't know how to check if they're true or not . I would like to thank all those who responded to this thread and to those who PM'd me for their help . Thank you all very much .

Yes they really charge that for the shipping. However, I had mine delivered for 550.... so in the end for me, I thought that was a great price... I've posted it a couple of places on here already if you want to take a look at it... I think its great!

forgop · 10-18-2010, 10:32 PM

Don't forget to check out craigslist or eBay for something close to you. Lots of deals to be had that route.
