hdryder Posted March 4, 2012 Posted March 4, 2012 Wow some nice hunidors with some very large price tags.
maverickdrinker Posted March 4, 2012 Posted March 4, 2012 Wow!!!!! My el Laguito humidor didn't cost nearly as much. Lol
Scdalak Posted March 4, 2012 Posted March 4, 2012 I'm disappointed none went to the "Wealthy Concierge/ Music Producer from Montreal.

danistalking Posted March 4, 2012 Posted March 4, 2012 Beautiful humidors. Aside from the cigars the wood working on them are top notch.
Colt45 Posted March 4, 2012 Posted March 4, 2012 Purely on aesthetics, I went with the Hoyo. But for me the Montecristo is a close second - nearly a tie, as I'm an admirier of the art deco style.
Skitalets Posted March 5, 2012 Posted March 5, 2012 The Upmann jars and ashtray were incredible looking. Would have loved to have them, but not at 60K EUR!
terrantheman Posted March 5, 2012 Posted March 5, 2012 HdM is very cool and I'm always a sucker for the contemporary designs like the Monte.
nick17 Posted March 5, 2012 Posted March 5, 2012 wow those are some nice humidors definitely a large investment but if you have the money why not
FrankBlack87 Posted March 5, 2012 Posted March 5, 2012 wow man these are sick. if u can afford them why not. thanks for sharing bud
ckearns Posted March 5, 2012 Posted March 5, 2012 Based on their aesthetics, it was a toss-up between the Upmann and RyJ for me. I like how they're designed like pieces of furniture and would suit a living space quite easily.
Orion21 Posted March 5, 2012 Posted March 5, 2012 The RyJ and the Monte top my list. I wonder if the cigars will ever be sampled...? I doubt it.
winelover Posted March 5, 2012 Posted March 5, 2012 I like the hoyo huni best but sticks wise I'm a monte man
CaptainQuintero Posted March 5, 2012 Posted March 5, 2012 Looks like H&F picked up the Hoyo one so it may see daylight one day, probably will be enjoyed somewhere down the line
Strada Posted March 6, 2012 Author Posted March 6, 2012 I really dig the classic look of the Upmann one.
jazzbass Posted March 9, 2012 Posted March 9, 2012 IMHO the Montecristo humi is the belle of the ball.. I'm a sucker for art deco and this one has it in spades.. Thank you soooo much for this thread..
