Can anyone identify this humidor? - Page 2

Do it!

Grabbed it for $30. Post some details later.
Pretty lightweight but looks nice.

Sonic04GT · 10-11-2011, 02:41 AM

Well it's definitely a very cheap humidor. For $30, I didn't really look over it 100% but as I figured by its light weight, the marble look is simply a glossy plastic overlay, although it does look nice.

The empty humidor weighs 2.5 lbs.
The hygrometer appears to be all plastic and weighs 0.6 oz. Currently in the 75% Humidipak. I'd be amazed if I could even calibrate this thing.
Humidifier looks cheap as well. Not sure why, but it twists open and closed.

However, the ash tray isn't bad and the cutter feels solid, so all in all, not too bad.

The humidor sounds like it closes nicely and pushes a good amount of air out during the "drop test."

If I had the chance to go back, I probably wouldn't spend $30 on it, but I'm not heartbroken.

If it was $30 for the humidor only I'd be a little upset.

I have another digital hygrometer on the way. Guess we'll see if it can hold humidity.

Pics tomorrow (or today, however you look at it haha)

Nevermind here's the pics. Not sure how I didn't notice the obvious imperfection on the front. Guess I was in a hurry to meet someone after, or my wonderful eyes are getting to me.

While at her house checking it out she says her and her husband were at some expensive auction and he bought it for about $180 with some cigars. Can't imagine what cigars came with this thing for $180! Debating emailing her with some humor on that note.

Or maybe it was her ginormous knockers

Sonic04GT · 10-11-2011, 03:07 AM

And the bad, since it would only allow 6 images in the above post:

If it holds humidity then I guess it's better than a tupperware! I don't care enough about this thing to wait days for the "safe" seasoning process. Probably wipe it down with a sponge tomorrow and see how it does, although I won't really know until my additional hygro comes in. My other humi is seasoning so I don't want to open it up to take the digi-hygro out.

no pix of said knockers?

Figured it was only a matter of time for that.

Weren't bad on site, but not really picture worthy.

Re-posted it on CL. If it doesn't sell, as mentioned in the ad, and it holds humidity, it'll be great for travel.

I'm a very honest person so I figured I'd post as many details as possible, and add a little humor.

Sonic04GT · 10-11-2011, 07:27 PM

Sooo I've been thinking the ad is probably way too long to keep most peoples attention, even with the poor humor. Should I just cut to the chase and list what's included?

ktblunden · 10-11-2011, 09:03 PM

You might list the included items right up front and leave the honesty and humor further down. That way people see what's going on right away and can read on if they want to. The ashtray is really cool, the rest, meh.

Emjaysmash · 10-11-2011, 09:08 PM

Wait you just got it and re-listed it?

Sonic04GT · 10-12-2011, 01:46 AM

Thanks I will do that tomorrow.

But yeah, was in a hurry, gave it a once over, and for $30 it looked pretty good. Got home and buyer's remorse kicked in. If it holds humidity them I'm happy. An extra cutter to keep in the car doesn't hurt and the ash tray is pretty decent.
