TexAg Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 I'm looking into getting a new humidor in the 50-100 cigar range. Any suggestions? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DinoCop05 Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 Check out the Vector carbon fiber textured humidor from KGM Humidors. Mine is 4 drawers and holds approx. 90 cigars. It has a magnetic seal so it's tight. Glass front of course. I use the PUCK for humidification. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poleckm Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 Yes, get a bigger one... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackham Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 Can you let us know what your budget range is? I personally have a Daniel Marshall Ambiente in black matte, superb construction and aesthetically pleasing, highly recommended. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brazoseagle Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 I know you are in Texas like myself and a few others, unless you keep you house cold all day and night during the Texas Summers, I highly recommend foregoing the desktop route, and looking into a Temp Controlled unit, or a Wine Fridge customized unit. If your budget is low and you don't have a ton of cigars to store, go get the Emmerson 8 bottle wine cooler (temp goes up to 65F, which is perfect) for $80.00 and throw some beads an some cedar trays in it and you will be happy. (that is until you outgrow it) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vinnyc Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 Once the humidor arrives order a new much bigger one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(that is until you outgrow it) Completely agree about getting a temperature controlled unit unless you have a cool dark location in you house. Also how ever big you decide to get at least double that. I am now on my third large desktop humidor and the only reason I haven't bought a huge cabinet is because my wife would kill me and bury me in a field.

joshb Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 I have to agree with the other posters regarding the wine cooler as well. I have both a 150 capacity Daniel Marshall desktop and also an 18 bottle NewAir thermoelectric cooler. The Marshall humidor is beautiful (zebra wood), but not as stable as the cooler. I have enough heartfelt 65% beads in the marshall to sustain a unit 3 times its size, and according to multiple calibrated hygrometers, it tends to run in the low 60s no matter what i do. This was after extensive seasoning with sponges over the course of several weeks. Likewise, the cooler is so much larger that it has more room for beads and hence more buffering capacity against rh swings. Even in SoCal I appreciate the temperature control and to be honest, they're a great combination, because the lower humidity of the desktop is perfect for my nearterm ready to smoke stash while the cooler is for longer term stuff.
