I'm looking for a new humidor and struck out at my local shops any website recommendations where I can get a great humidor that won't break my bank but is also great quality

jesseboston81 · 07-20-2011, 07:43 PM

Are you looking for functionality or a display piece? For functionality, grab a cooler with a good seal, some beads, and a hygrometer--it won't break your bank and it is also great quality (even if it's not something you'd display in your living room).

I want something that looks nice along with the other stuff I said like quality durability etc. I need something that looks nice so when I finish law school I can put it in my office no coolerdor will look too wonderful there lol.

if youve got the money a 50ct from waxing moon is deffintily something to show off.

nofeardiver · 07-20-2011, 08:41 PM

Check on cbid, and watch there you could always go to cheaphumidors, or I personally like the 100ct on CI website, some are sweet looking!

The problem with buying a wooden humidor from online retailers is that you don't really know what you are getting until it's delivered, and then it's really too late to do much about it. The exception to this is going to custom manufacturer's like Waxing Moon.

It's too bad that your local B&M's did not have anything to offer you...

They have some Quality Importers humidors but I'm not sure if they are any good the guy said they are but I wasn't sure any opinions? Because I honestly would rather see in and buy it in person also my last one from online was junk and it's made me a bit weary about buying another one from online.

NCRadioMan · 07-20-2011, 10:14 PM

QI stuff is quality. I just don't like buying from a b&m because you can get the same humidor much cheaper online.

And I work in a b&m.

I have bought 5 humidors from bargainhumidors and am very happy with each purchase. And they stand behind their products.

QI makes some good humidors, and Chutney is right, you can get stuff cheaper online. For me personally, when buying a wooden humidor I like to touch it and inspect it before paying for it. It's worth a few dollars more to me to be able to do that.

A Custom Humidor is even better -- if you have the money...

It seems OK -- Go for it!

As for what to look for: Search is your friend. There is a lot of good info here on CA. This is a good place to start: http://www.cigarasylum.com/vb/showthread.php?t=621.

He said he was looking at that so I used context clues to figure he probably wanted a desktop.

Wooden humidors that aren't custom made aren't worth a crap....give me a month and you'll see mine getting blown apart by an AK-47.

Get them custom, or go with a cooler or Edgestar.

Hey Bill, how many non-custom made humidors have you owned to come to that conclusion?

1, but if it failed so bad what would possess me to buy another?

Doesn't seem logical. Especially after less than 6 months.

I mean if someone wants to give me free $$$$$...I'll try more out...Until then I cannot afford to waste my $$$.

So sometime in the next month look for pictures of my AK totally said piece of $hit humidor.

So don't buy another. Just don't make broad statements that if it's not custom made it's crap. That is misleading to newer members.
