New Humidor
I just recieved my humidor from Premium Humidors today. Here it is http://www.premiumhumidors.com/shop/humidors/imperfect-humidors/the-frontier-humidor-imperfect-humidor-2.html .
I was a little worried because after I ordered it I read a thread here ripping them good. But mine came in quickly with no extra damage and exactly what was pictured. The "imperfection" was a slight mark on the lid. I paid a little less than the one I linked - $35.00.
BTW - they have this nice looker on sale http://www.premiumhumidors.com/shop/humidors/imperfect-humidors/the-woodsmen-humidor-cherry-imperfect-2.html . What you guys think? Is it worth having one so big? Are they harder to maintain?
Now to season it up and store the 75 cigars I got in the mail last friday.

Thanks for the reply. I smoke mostly Toros so they should fit, but if not I have another 60 ct humidor.
Difficult as in will I need to fight the humidity all the time? A small humidor seems to be pretty easy to keep at 65 or so. But the big one will have a lot more space until I can afford to fill it up
.
I like the idea of 1 big humidor and also it seems like a very good buy.

Do you like the product, especially compared to the other unit you already have?
Also a general question; what level of humi is best to start out with? A little background might aid the responses. Anyway I'm relatively new to this hobby; some experience and knowledge, but none with humi's. At any rate it would be my first, and I would look to have somewhere between 10-20 sticks on hand or aging plus room for other's I purchase. I realize the counts they suggest are not really accurate, but what size and manufactors should I be looking for? Also I have a good relationship with a B&M, but their selection of humi's is limited and all priced over $100. Although the Xikar 50 ct was appealing including the digital hygrometer and the humidification device for $120.
Any responses are helpful, thanks in advance.

I was able to easily fit 74 in. I smoked one lol. I think it could hold another 10. If I was to have all the same length and ring size, maybe I could put in 100. Go for the 100 - 150ct size then there's room for expansion.

Nice buy, it's like mine but with a solid top. BTW, the gauge said 55 the first 2 days, then went to 60 and today was 62. So I guess the box and cigars have absorbed as much as they can, now to keep a eye on it incase it goes too high.

The glass top I linked to on the first post has kept the humidity at normal levels. Aslong as the glass is sealed it should be fine.
