Anyone know about them, have them, can comment on them good or bad?

Chances are they aren't made by Ashton.
More than likely an importer company. I'd rather buy a "non name brand" quality built humidor and save the cash on cigars.

Ashton is a phenomenal quality humidor but ridiculously over priced! When you can get a custom humidor from a guy like humidor minister or whoever for less than a price of an ashton humidor there's a problem! Diamond Crown is another nice high end option that's significantly cheaper (but still very expensive)!

According to Ashton, they are made by Manning of Ireland, who has been making humidors since 1887.

High quality pieces no doubt, but at a starting price of $600 to $800 for a 12 x 9 x 5 ish humidor and at least a grand or more for a 17 x 12 x 7, I'd be talking to Ed over at Waxing Moon and be having an equal or better quality custom humidor built in the size I want, out of the woods I want, with the extras I want, and probably for less money.

You can see Ed's work here

Agreed. Talk to Ed. Judging by his work he can build pretty much any humidor configuration.
