Mike, I'm sorry you had a bad experience with CI. It's unfortunate that you were not aware of the free shipping codes which will get everything except a few promo priced cigar samplers found on hidden/unlinked pages and LTL freight items shipped to you for free.
Regardless, my suggestion to the OP was clearly stated as cigarbid and to use the list of example companies as a pricing cross check before bidding, as with a little patience, most generic 20 and 40 count humidors can be won for less than half of their CI price on cigarbid with shipping charges being stated in the auction and are typically about $5 to $8 for that size humidor. On top of that, you get combined shipping discounts on any other cigars and merchandise you might win during that period.
Ultimately though, I do agree with you to skip the parent companies of CI and Famous for humidors, but just not for the same reasons.
