    I know about the size issue becuase i have a 10-count travel right now and its already full lol. i was ooking at an 80 count 4 drawer burl. it looks nice and i love the drawer feature. i also know not to rush the seasoning process. is there any other advice you could give me?

    I would say just get a good humidification system, use only distilled water with beads, figure out what works best for you to keep 70 degrees and 70% relative humidity, thats about the optimum temp and humidity. Only thing else I can tell you is to learn as much as you can, ask questions, all that jazz, and enjoy your new humi and cigars!

    get a big one(think of the size you want and double it) and get some beads.

    This is an easy post if you fallow our advice. 1. 80 count humidor to small go bigger. 2. Stick with Heartfelt beds. 3. What Humidity you may ask simple if you don't know stick with 65%. 4. Seasoned your Humidor before you put any sticks in. 5. And the last one is don't get to worried about having all the things just right, to many people focus on what type of this or what brand that, just enjoy it.

    My advice is to get a BIG one, if you can afford it. I started with a 50ct in october of last year. Now I have that plus 2 20ct's and 2 48 quart coolers all packed to the gills. Oh, and I also packed my roommates 100ct humi that he wasn't using. You can get a nice 400ct on the bay for under $80 shipped and I hear they are actually pretty decent.

    I knew this was going to happen. This is a guy I work with and I told him the standard. Take the humidor size you think you are going to need then double it and add 50 but he just wouldnt listen. Oh how it hurts to see people make the same mistake you made yourself.

    heh, I know how you feel. I started with a 50 count, added a 100 count, added a coolidor, added a 300-400 count (ebay once that was already mentioned) and somehow they are all about full. I'm not addicted to smoking cigars, I'm addicted to collecting cigars. Happens to the best of us.
