I think everyone starts out thinking all they need is a small humi since they only smoke the occasional cigar and they'll probably never get it full. But once you start getting into all the different brands and styles. You soon realize you don't have enough storage.
Here is my $0.02...if your serious about smoking cigars, don't waste you 15-25 buck. I'd recommend at least 50ct box to get you started, then straight to a coolidor or large humidor. The 50ct will get you into the game and let you store over a month of smokes (if you smoke every day) while you figure your pallat out and see what cigars you really enjoy. If you drop out, then the price of the 50ct won't hurt. When the time comes, you'll know if you need a bigger humidor. We won't have to tell you, you'll have the itis and clicking the left button on the mouse becomes the addiction. Welcome to the forums! Lots of good info and guys here!

Cool - Thank you for the info. Looking at a 200 ct for $50 to start off. I do not want to go too big too fast just in case.
browse around on craigslist. Just last week there was a coolidor on the northern virginia craigslist. I was able to find a very nice 150ct humi on craiglist for $35. Got lucky , it was full of some very tasty turds I was able to launch at people here.
Thank you for all the great advice! My lovely wife has ordered me a 200 ct Humidor from ebay - should be here by next week. I have been reading about 'seasoning', good thing for the forums, I would be so lost when it arrived.
I operate out of a 150ct humidor and a large cabinet humidor (1500ct). I remember when I started, I bought a 50ct humidor. I remember thinking that it would be plenty. That was in 4 months ago. lol.
My name is Steve and I'm an addict. But seriously, I'm like a large percentage of the BoTL on here. I started out with one 20 ct. That grew into four 20 cts and a couple of 50's. The warden finally said (I swear!) "I'm tired of all these small humidors all over the place. Quit fiddling around and get a big one" So with that, I got an Indulgence 500 ct. Of course, now that I work in Kuwait, I have two 100s and a couple of Tupperdores here, the warden takes care of the sticks in the 500 while I'm gone.
I too bought a 50ct. Thinking this will be enough, im not going to buy much or smoke much. That was in June. I now have 2 20cts, a 50ct and was recently gifted a 150ct that is more then half full now. Next stop for me is a cooler or wineador. So when they say start big or go bigger. They mean it. Lol
