Humidor Suggestions/Info

mjdx88 · 10-12-2012, 02:51 PM

Hey Guys,

I'm slowly coming back into the hobby after a long hiatus. I'm still kind of a newbie when it comes to cigars but I have had a fully stocked humidor in the past. This is where my problem lies, my first humidor was a no name brand humi, it was very nice and worked great! But this time around I would like to do everything right, also my fiance will be more than likely getting me the humidor as a gift which means I need to tell her exactly what to get, she is kinda clueless when it comes to cigars and cigar accessories.

I am starting to look around at humidors and there is no shortage of them, but I cannot not find a lot of information on a more reputable brand like Don Salvatore (I really like the silver studded chest humidor).

Does anyone have any suggestions? Has anyone had experience with Don Salvatore humi's? I'm trying to be around $300 or less. I have also seen the Dunhill, Prometheus, and Diamond Crown humis, although I'm not sure where to purchase one since I know there are a lot of fakes/knock offs floating around the web. I am also looking for a humi that is 50-120 cap. I am willing to go smaller than 50, since I am planning to build a coolidor in the near future.

This humidor will be for show and hold some nice smokes, my first box I will be purchasing will be La Aurora Preferido's

I'm not looking to do a wineador right now or the coolidor, I do not have the space right now for one. I am planing on buying a house over the next year or so, which is when I plan to build my coolidor.

Thanks,
Mike
