Humidor Shopping

I have the Lucky 7 and I love it. Its a dark cherry but not close to black. Tone of room for anyone else looking for a standup humi.

I have a Savoy Madagascar humidor that I really like. They make a ebony version of the large and xtra large that should hold about 100+/- sticks and thats something that fits the criteria your looking for. I think the craftsmanship is great and they cost about $130-150 most places. Savoy is a (branch?) of Ashton, information here http://www.ashtoncigar.com/Savoy-Humidors_Main.jsp This is not a sales site, just ashton's site, so I hope its OK to post here.

Oh, and I'm not sure you're aware, but a 150 count humidor does NOT hold 150 cigars these days. That count is based on corona sized cigars and I'm going to throw a wild guess out there that you don't have all corona sized cigars. It will likely hold 75-100.

Stryker808

Absolutely true. I think mine has about 90 max or so mixed sizes....and I have removed the shelf. I guess it wouldn't really fit his critera then. sorry, still a nice black humidor though.....

That's a nice looking humi... I know that a 150 humi holds far fewer... I have 2 50's which are maxed out at about 45 a piece... I might have to look into that Ashton...

I have the palermo 150. Funny, someone on another thread just mentioned this same humi and I responded. It's a decent humi. Doesn't hold 150, more like 100. Plus, you'll need some extra humidification than what it comes with. Chuck the disks and get some dishes for beads. I keep two small dishes full of beads on each tray/drawer and stagger them left to right from top to bottom just to ensure even distribution of humidification. It doesn't hold humidity as well as top sealing humis but it does the trick and looks really nice.

I bought the Chelsea glasstop from Tampa Humidor and it works perfectly. Holds steady 67% with about 90 sticks in it.

Tat and Kreig - What kind of capacity are you getting out of that "400 count" I've been eyeballing it for sometime now. I have a budget of $350 dollars, but I could always buy that one and then put more money into smokes! What do you guys think of it?

For $350, you could easily talk to Waxing Moon and get a custom humi from him, built to your specifications

Yes... the Moon is the place to be... Just not sure I can get away with spending 3 bills on a humi... even though, oddly, the new Humi was the Fiance's idea... she wants me to get more smokes for the wedding and I need a place to store them... and to think I almost said "I don't think we need more smokes for the wedding"

Yup; after a few conversations with him, my budgetary and cigar needs were met too. Great guy, very willing to work with anyone to get the price within their budgetary range and still have a beautiful humi. You better post pics when you get it!!
