In Terms Of Canadian Sellers, Has Anyone Ever Bought A Humidor From...
Hey again all,
So while I'm still doing alot of research as I wanna buy my first humidor in the future, I found two humidor dealers that are already located here in Canada. Has anyone ever heard of or dealt with http://cigarstar.ca/home.html or http://humidorsdirect.ca/index.php I've looked at both places and did find a few humidors that I liked on each site. Anyone know anything about the humidors featured in these links? http://humidorsdirect.ca/humidor_catalina.php http://cigarstar.ca/cigar-accessorie...&category_id=1 http://cigarstar.ca/cigar-accessorie...&category_id=1 While Cigar Star are convieniantly located here in Ontario (in Brantford which is located only less than an hour away from where I'll be in October), they only offer 30 day warranties. Whereas HumidorsDirect (who are in Calgary) have a 10 year warranty etc. on theirs. What should I do? |

Buy a cooler.
I went the route of first one humi, then a second, was gifted a third, and finally bought what I thought was going to be the final humi I now have four empty humi's and two coolers full of cigars. One for NC & one for CC. If you insist on a wood one, wait until you are down closer and you can have one of my empty ones.... but really.... buy a cooler.

To fill you you folks in about my cigar smoking habits, even though I'm on an even tighter budget now (as I'll be moving to Kitchener by October) I'm the type of guy that'll just buy random single CC's or NC's whenever I can afford to. I like to sample whatever I can try whenever I can afford to buy good cigars on occasion. Throughout my journey, I've found and tried some damn good smokes IMO. As again I'm essentially pretty poor. I'll usually spend about $12-25 per cigar and buy a few at a time (i.e. 3 or 4 depending on price) when I can afford to do so. Idealistically, I'd love to get a basic humidor setup going after I move in to my new apartment in Kitchener in October. Nothing huge, I'm sure a 20-25 count humidor will do. As like I said I don't have much money but I will splurge and buy single or (hopefully if I can when I move) sample packs of cigars whenever I can. I'd love to get just a nice, basic, humidor setup going (that's as easy to set up and to maintain as possible) so that I can store and age random cigars that I buy (after I move ) if I don't wanna smoke them right away. I know I can't afford good boxes of premium cigars (i.e. boxes of R&J or Cohiba), but I would love to order sampler packs online if I could get a basic humidor setup going and then that way I could have a nice variety of singles at my disposal for whenever I want to smoke them. I.E. during hockey games and such. |

So buy a small cooler, and when you outgrow it you can use it for beer...

If you don't care about looks, just use Tupperware. It's cheap and it works better than any wood humidor I own.

If money is a concern, tupperware is a whole lot cheaper than a wooden humidor or a cooler!

Re: In Terms Of Canadian Sellers, Has Anyone Ever Bought A Humidor Fro
While I am familiar with the Tupperware concept, I know my fiance wouldn't wanna look at a Tuppador on the desk in our bedroom lol.
Figured a nice looking humi would keep us both happy. Gotta keep the Mrs. happy after all. Especially since she makes way more $ than I do and will surprise me with a few sticks here and there. Plus well, I want her to legally become my Mrs. someday. As for a budget, I figure I'd spend up to $150 plux tax on a good humidor. My birthday is in October as well and I have been suggested here and there to my fiance that I want one. I've thought of even splitting the cost of one with her. I just don't know the best place in Canada to order a humi which is why I had made this thread to ask how Cigar Star or HumidorsDirect are in terms of quality, service etc. |

Try http://www.canadahumidor.com/
Owner is on another board and recommended by the folks there. You can pick up a small box for $60 or so and then flip it on kijiji when you outgrow it.
