All Cigar Discussion>What's best in a large humidor?
Lexxxus 03:34 PM 08-22-2009
I started a few years ago with a 50 ct and then a 150 by Cuban Crafters and then took the jump to Coolers and then a Vinotemp with drawers and shelves by Chasden... I am using coolers again for overflow and I'm thinking I might make the move to a large upright. What are the best values / brand names etc. out there and what are a good source.

Any pics would be greatly appreciated.

On the other hand I suppose I could top buying................. Hmmmm... that ain't gonna happen!

I am not sure there is a correct answer (sort of like which is better Ford or Chevy type debate) but here is some info I found while studying the topic:

It took me a minute to find this one. I have not seen one in person but perhaps somone on here has some personal experience with them. They make them for retail stores primarily and look to be a good value if they are decent quality.

Aristocrat makes a heirloom quality humidor imo.

The man asked 'what's the best.' Aristocrat is probably the best.

LOL. I have a pair of these heirlooms, as well. And, when I strike it rich, these can serve to keep my beer cold. Let's see an Aristocrat do that! :-)

I have $$$'s tied up in my Aristocrat Plus 48 & Mini. Could of bought a bunch of cigars with that money but frankly at this point in my life they look damn nice in my little cigar room. These days I save the igloo for camping.

Avallo and Aristocrat are probably the best cabinets on the market. Sadly Arlin Liss is no longer in the business, he made some very nice cabinets as well.
