Welcome Murph, hope you don't mind the abbreviation. Those are both good humi's, I have the Evanston dome here (looks just like Rain's), no problems. Says it holds 250. Got the Evanston classic first, too small. Rule of thumb, whatever you get it will be too small. Depending on what you have in mind for the sizeof your stash you may want to think coolador.

Damn, Rain you have some of my favorite beverages too

Thanks for the quick response guys. I'll definitely check into those as well. And will post whatever I decide to go with

ewww...I'm scarred now. Welcome Murph, I just use a 150qt igloo cooler. works for me.

Muurrrrph

Everyone I've been taking to says to get a large size than you think you'll need. So maybe I'm better off looking for 250-300 ct then

Is there a good guide anywhere on how to go about converting an igloo.

Search coolidor here in the forum. Or google it. Whenever I google something like that there's threads from this forum towards the top anyway. There was a couple on youtube as well.

Don't let these guys scare you, I have a few humidors that serve different purposes, I also have a couple of coolers that also serve different purposes. The recommendation to go bigger that you think is so very true, but not every one really gets into it and buys. I have a friend who's humi is sitting untouched for months now, I send him a text every so often to make sure the humidity is correct, I don't want his smokes to go dry. Any way there is definitely no need to spend $ 500 or so on a humi there are great ones out there for much less. Coolers are the best bang for your dollar. All you need to do is add Spanish cedar. Empty boxes, the thin sleeves that come in boxes, etc. Bovada pacs work great to keep the RH stady and that's all she wrote, o yea kitty litter is magic as well.

Be afraid, very afraid, lol. Coolidor would be the way to go for large boxed inventory, may go that way myself someday. But I really like the look of my humi's, maybe it's the memories of past experiences too. Out visiting with parents when I was a kid going to the parlor to see the guys picking cigars out of the humidor's. My Grandfathers office had a humidor, friend of his at the bank had one in his office. One of my favorite shows, "Hogan's Heroes", a humidor was a prominent fixture in Col Klink's office too. They look so good lined up on my table I got for them. Look even better when I dust. Get lot's of compliments when people see them. Opening them up smelling the cedar and tobacco's. I really like my humi's, I need help I know, jd send me some meds

Now one of my first humidor was a CI special. Cheapo 90 count I got for like $50 bucks. I thought it was garbage till I threw out the stock humidifier and analog hydrometer and added digital and Crystals now it does great. Total investment= $80 so that's not bad.
