if you like cigars then that humidor will become very small very fast:p

That one looks pretty small, I bet twenty or so would fit in there. I bought my main humidor because even though I'm a finish carpenter for a living I couldn't get all the raw materials for the price of one already completed. I searched around and got a cherry 100 count with hygrometer, humidifier, quadrant hinges, lock, lined with spanish cedar for $36. You could never build one that cheap even without labor included. I would like to build a nice bulk storage/aging humidor someday but who knows when that will be.

Favorites are in my bio

If you want a small one, do a google search for "Capri" - it's a small humidor (supposedly holds 50, but mine only holds about 30), and it goes for about $20. If bigharpoon would be willing to post a link to that 100-count for $36, I'd jump on it *hint-hint - where'd you find that sucker?*

Yea that would be awesome.

Edit nevermind he has already sold it.:Just found this on craigslist all the cabinets ive seen like this have been really expensive so this seems like a great dealhttp://atlanta.craigslist.org/hsh/1260034532.html but I was hoping someone could let me know and I will contact this guy later Thanks

you can try www.cheaphumidors.com. They sell imperfects too, little comestic blemishes, but they still work fine. You could get yourself a decent sized humi and save a few bucks.

"Long ashes my friends"

If i'm wrong let me know, but to me it sounds like you've never smoked a "real" cigar before. And if thats true than that humidor is far to big for you. I recomend getting a small 20 or 30 count humidor, because at this point you don't even know if you really like cigars or if it will be a long time thing. So try out a cheap 20 count and if you find that you hate cigars than no huge loss, but if you find that you love cigars than you can upgrade to a bigger humidor. That is just my sudgestion. Oh and welcome to the beautiful world of cigars.

"If there are no cigars in heaven, I shall not go." - Mark Twain

And someone correct me if I'm wrong but don't you want to keep a humidor at least 50 % full to help with humidity swings. Unless you're planning on buying hundreds of cigars to start I'd avoid that one on CL.

Ok heres an update I just said screw the humidor and bought the daily deal,Which is rocky patel vintage 1992 toro.Just thought I would let everyone know,I know everyone on here(Well mostly)likes pictures so when I receive will I post if anyone wants.  

I know it's a bit late, but that humidor was a good deal, assuming it was still in decent condition. Just get a little travel humidor (about $15) to store the cigars in. Remember that cigars typically need 1-2 weeks in a humidor after being shipped for them to taste right - smoking them before then is pretty nasty

Ventureman and xmacro,

Again this might be a bit late, but check your inbox I have sent both of you a link to a site offering a 100 ct humidor with lock for $36. Worth a look for sure before you decide on anything else.

I respectfully disagree. Some cigars are downright nasty straight from the mailbox, but I've had more than a few that were very good. Luck of the draw at best, but I don't feel that what you said holds true for all cigars. Though with the Vintage 1992...I'd agree that it would be nasty right out of the mail...then again, I think they are pretty bad regardless, so take my opinion with a grain of salt. :)

Well, I gotta respectfully disagree with you :) In my experience, I've never had a good cigar out of the mail; after 4 days they're tolerable, but after a week or so, they're nice and smooth.

Also, I live near Tampa Florida, so when my smokes come in, it's about 80-90F outside and probably even worse in the UPS truck

Well, with the humidity you get in Florida, that's not surprising. We get the heat here in So. Cal, but where I live it's a very dry heat. That probably explains the difference in our perceptions of "fresh off the truck" cigars.
