Yep the same ol'story...Go big or Go home! I have a 300 ct. and 50 ct, plus two travel boxes..Oh did I mention a 48qt. coolerdor? Keep the humi's small to med, and make a coolerdor or like I saw tupperware for bundles or bulk, or an unexpected BOMB! Good Luck and Keep'em Lit!

I have a 6qt tupperdor, and I think I'll be picking up either a cigar case or travel humidor to keep my sticks in nice shape on the golf course.

Start with a Vinotemp if you can find one. If not, get a LARGE cooler from Walmart.

It's the same story every time. Learn from our mistakes.

Nice start on a slippery slope :-) yeah.... I'm sure the "100-cnt." will suffice for years to come :-)
[Reply]

Nice humidor!!!

You're going down!!!:-)
[Reply]

Trigger pulled, along with a few sticks from CI to stock it.
[Reply]

You would think the noobs would listen...I know when I started I was like "no way am I going to do a cooler, a humi just looks nice" lol
[Reply]

My 150ct has been full for a couple weeks - It doesnt take long to fill'er up and if the advertised capacity is 100 you'll find you may get 80-90 in there.

My answer - keeping the desktop as I like the look of it and heading out cooler shopping this afternoon.

Welcome and enjoy the ride!

• I forget which ones, and it's not showing on the site now

I've been putting together a list of stuff I'd like to try over the last few days, and it looks like they gave me both promos, even though the site says only 1 per order.

And you only bought a 100ct.!?!?!?!?!?!?!?:-)

Don't worry....you'll be kicking yourself in the arse later.....it'll make a nice desktop at work then.


Slide, slide, slippety slide............................................. ........:-)

Well the smokes came in, and I had to give one of the Sancho Panzas a try (see avatar). The humidor should be here on Wednesday, so I guess the smokes go in the tupperdor for now. My free Humi-care jar showed up frozen solid, will that cause any problems later on?
[Reply]

Any opinions on this? As of this morning they seem to have thawed out and look okay, but I'm not familar with these PG crystals.
[Reply]

Sucker!:-):-):-)

The Humi-care jar will be Fine, The MXII's are one great smoke.
[Reply]

Ruh-roh. :-)

Thanks for the response on the Humi-care. Those MX2s smell fantastic. I may have to fire one up tonight. :-)

Oh, and according to FedEx tracking, my humidor was delivered this afternoon. Not bad for standard shipping from Tampa to NY.
[Reply]

Congrats on the purchase. Just out of curiosity from the more knowledgeable here, how necessary are the upgrades they offer?

Oh, and this is the one I'm looking at getting...
[Reply]

Nice pick on the humi. My first one was a 50ct and I thought I would never fill it. A couple months later my wife got me a 300ct and I thought that I was in heaven. 5 months after getting that I purchased a Wine Cooler and made it into a humidor. I have had it for 6 months now and I am thinking about purchasing another one because it is almost full. I would recommend buying at least 6X the size that you think you need. It is an addiction I tell ya!

Well the Hygroset hygrometer is digital and adjustable (the analogs usually aren't), so you can salt test it and recalibrate. I also grabbed a Puck from cigarmony.com because that seemed easier to me than playing around with floral foam.

That's a nice one, although you'll probably get a bunch of advice to "GO BIGGER!" :-)

I've got my Prestige seasoning, and I'm salt testing my Hygroset. So with nothing better to do, I lit up a 5 Vegas Series A. I dunno if it was an OTT thing (just got it yesterday), but I was completely unimpressed with this stick. Loose draw, uneven burn, and the wrapper split about halfway in. I got done with it and Googled some reviews and everyone seems to love it.:-)
[Reply]

I've never had a problem with a Series A... mine have been in my humi for at least a month tho, some longer, multiple sizes too. Love em.
