No problem! To easy to get lost in these threads...

I make all kinds of pretty desktop boxes, and I don't even have my own. I use the winador with drawers that's beside my desk. I don't even like it.
Behind me sits an ebony and zebrawood box I made awhile ago. It's got a bunch of drawers and it was purposed for dry boxing. I gave it to Lisa cause she wanted it. She took my $35 Savoy off of me, too. So I'm shooting for a 15ct. Cigar Caddy desktop humi now.
If I were to make a suggestion, it'd run along Brad's line of thinking. Use Tupperware and coolers and save up for a top quality heirloom piece. If you ever decide it's not for you anymore, it'll always retain it's value. That's not the case with cheap humidors, as has been evidenced here. They're cheap humidors. There's a reason they're called that. I've had one or two of my own and fixed many of them.
It's a tough call. Good luck, brother!!!

Hey Jon,

First, where are you planning on putting it? Desktop? Do you want it to be a feature piece or maybe something more like a commercial?

If you want a feature piece, I would go for the Bally Big, 200 count external hygrometer, clear top (http://www.cigarwarehouse.com/product_p/bally%20big.htm)

If you don't mind going a little bigger, I would definitely go for the AV-600. This would need a place of its own in your house. (I just got one for my place) 600 count, external hygrometer, multi-level trays (http://www.cigarwarehouse.com/product_p/av-600.htm)

For humidifiers, I would definitely go with a Paradigm. It's a little more expensive than your average humidifier, but it will last up to 3 months keeping the RH at 70% and if there is ever a problem with it the manufacturer offers a lifetime warranty. There are several sizes you can choose from so you can fit your humidor with it. (http://www.cigarwarehouse.com/Search...asp?Search=psh)

Hygrometer: Definitely go for a digital, any will do. I just find it easier to read and a bit more accurate than any analog. (http://www.cigarwarehouse.com/Search...Search=digital)

I hope this helps!

The most important thing to remember is, be sure to post a picture of your new humi once you get it, but before you put any cigars in it!

Here's my humidor.

Nice humidor Stogie, but please don't post sales links in the general threads.

From the rules:

If you are a retailer/distributor of cigars or cigar related items, please do not advertise your items in rooms other than the retailer room. Posts/Threads will be promptly removed if violated.

I apologize. I figured since I use these items myself, I could at least make the recommendation and show him what I've found, as a customer not as a retailer.

Adam (T.G) is correct.
As a vendor/retailer, you can put a link to your business in your sig line.
Recommendations can be a bit of a grey area. You are certainly free to post your opinions on product/cigars. But using those opinions to promote sales is what is frowned upon (and should be posted only in the Retailer forum.

I hope this is clear. If not, feel free to PM me with any questions.
