A Basic Humidor Buying Guide

All:

I've been smoking cigars and tending to a series of various disappointing humidors for 12 years or so. I'm now looking seriously into getting something more substantial with capacity to store boxes.

I have the opportunity to buy a Liebherr XS200 for $1750. I saw all of the comments in this thread about how overpriced it was at $2500. I've also seen the comments about getting a Vinotemp and buying shelves from Chasidor...I don't know if I feell like going thru all that effort to be honest. How much can you spend via the Vinotemp/Chasidor route?

Is the Liebherr still vastly overpriced at $1750 compared to other creative solutions?

Thanks in advance

Way overpriced in my opinion.

$1750=1.4cuft capacity, seems a bit excessive to be paying over $1k per cuft of storage. An Aristocrat end table will give you much more capacity.

IMO, yes....without a doubt, it is.
