Collection Size

Humidor size......How ever many cigars you THINK you might collect then double the size of the humidor. You will always collect more than you think you will. Humidors are easily and quickly outgrown. Collection size.....The large collections you see in the pics didnt happen overnight. That is years of picking them up here and there. Find your favorite, then try other brands. Catch them on sale at your B&M, google them on the internet. Soon you will have a decent collection. Then the hard part comes....figuring out which one you want to smoke at the time. Collectingis about the thrill of finding that "special" one that you only read about. Maybe it's a single, maybe a box. Just enjoy it, that's why you do it in the first place.

I agree with SgtRick. For me, collecting and deciding what I want at the time are just as enjoyable as smoking them. I started with a 25 count and that was my first mistake. I found out quickly that you'll outgrow a small humidor really fast. I now have a 50 where I keep my singles and 2 150's where I store my larger amounts of my favorites and now I'm outgrowing them. I think it's about time to start looking at cabinets!lol

In general I agree, go bigger than you planned to. I have a 75 ct and I'm happy with it (and haven't yet had to go to a cooledor). Of course, I stupidly assumed when I got it it would fit 75 sticks. Sure, I could use more room and wish I would have gotten a little bit larger humi. But I just buy singles and keep the inventory flowing through. My endgame is that I'd like to have a nice cabinet so I could buy some boxes, but for now, I'm happy with what I have. Considering I only have a couple a week at most, I don't have too much of a need right now.

Having a humidor is a great way to get in on deals (daily deals, weekend blitz, etc.) and save yourself a TON of cash. Since most of the deals are for 5-20 cigars at once you can really get some premium smokes for little money but you need to have the ability to store them. I'd recommend getting the biggest humidor you can find for less than $100 (which will land you easily in the 100-150 ct. range) and then spend your money on the actual cigars.

I have a 1000 count(or more) cabinet with an air conditioner in it, with about 1000 cigars in it right now, and room for more. I'm just gonna have to build a walk-in..

' Go for it!! I bet you can do miracles with your skills. Then pics

I wish i can build my own as well. To OP, Like everybody says, you can only store about half of the intended pc count of the humidor.
