Well, I bit the bullet and found a nice 300-400 ct humidor for $69. I ordered it and should be here this week. I plan on using this humi for aging my smokes. The first cigar I bought to put in there is a Padron 1964 :) If anyone is interested, I'll post a link to it.

    lets see this baby. I'm interested to see what you got that will hold that much for less than 100 bucks.

    Well, its not going to win any awards for craftsmanship or looks. Some of the veneer has chipped but if you go into the puchase knowing its basically a scratch and dent humidor then I think you will be happy. This is the humidor my wife got me for our 1st anniversary and I was worried that she spent too much until I saw the price in your link. Now I am happy, its well worth the 69 bucks with free shipping.

    My question would be I didn't see 'spanish cedar' noted anywhere; just cedar. Will this basically be like a regular cedar chest and will it pose any problems down the road? How about holding humidity? Inquiring minds want to know ...

    Cool, thats all I need is more storage, I wasn't looking for anything fancy. Just a place to age some smokes and maybe store couple of boxes.

    I bought a 300 ct humi from the same guy several months ago. I've been very pleased with mine. I'm about to get another one from him cause my first one filled up a lot faster than I originally thought it would. Mainly my fault for buying so many cigars! I'm sure you'll enjoy yours Krieg.

    Ya, the cedar is different than most I think but it is not too fragrant so thats good. As for holding humidity, I have no idea as I am living in a hotel and am away from my cigars and hygrometers. I tried to do a dollar test but didn't have any dollars, only recipts and it failed the recipt test. I think the dollar should work though.

    glad to hear it, just got an email saying it was shipped out last night, should be at my house by Friday! Now only question is, how many beads do I need?? Guess it's back to the ol Heartfelt calculator! lol

    Not sure how many beads to use. I just use the humidifiers that came with the humidor with mix of distilled water and propylene glycol solution and I threw in a few Humi packs as well. It stays pretty stable at 70%.
