Thank all of you for the imput to my first post. It's great to know I'm not alone in this. Kinda reinforces the old adage, "misery loves company." Couple of questions: Has anyone had any experience with the super large humidor variously referred to as The Verona (I think), 3000 Cigar Tower Humidor, etc. A considerable investment financially, but if effective, may be worth it (I once had a "cigar room" and lived in the rest of the house; am rapidly approaching having a "living room" with cigars in the rest of the house)? Secondly, being in the military I am deployed frequently, in and out of the CONUS and am wondering if the Cigar Oasis is actually as maintenance-free as advertised? A third,unrelated question is I have a short deployment to Boston, MA during 06/02-10/03 and wondered if anyone had a recommendation, from personal experience, for a cigar shop(s) to visit while there (I can't believe I'm asking for this info...yes I can; I'm a case study in dual personality and CIGAR FIEND has taken control again, as has frequently been the case lately). Any responses would be apprectiated.

An LTC in the ANG (who is in serious need of professional deprogramming from the cigar cult, but, pathetically, doesn't have the willpower to ask)

P.S. Anyone ever been in bankruptcy court with a similar opening statement..."Yes, your Honor, I acknowledge it may have been a serious error in judgement, but you have to understand that I had a ONCE IN A LIFETIME opportunity to acquire another box of Joya de Nicaraqua Antano 1970 Robustos by bidding only..."

If you're heading out near Hanscom AFB there's a decent shop in a nearby town. If I remember correctly, the town is Waltham. I haven't been up that way in a couple years but I remember they had just got in a shipment from Fuentes and I picked a couple of Anejos.

I don't know if that device will handle a box that big... You may want to look in to some other active systems.

I think Robby is right, the Cigar Oasis isn't large enough to handle a humi of that size.You'd probably need to use several of them in that large a cabinet. You may want to look at some of the Avallo systems of which I've heard good things or go with the Set and Forget from Bob Staebell. I can personally vouch for the Set and Forget as it keeps my Aristocrat end table size humi rock solid at the humidity of my choosing (68%). Whatever your choice I think adding additional fans to increase air movement from top to bottom will help greatly in evenly distributing the humidity.
--- Oh yeah, I haven't heard too much about it but I often see Moisten Air humidifiers on ebay at good prices. One of these units may fit your bill so to speak for a reasonable price.
Once you get one of these units in a large humi all you really need to do is keep it full of distilled water and in an area that doesn't get above 70 degrees and you are good to go!
Good luck on your search!
Tony

You may have already looked at this one, but Oasis has a new oasis for large display cases.

Thanks for the advice. Nice to be able to solicit imput and cut down on "chasing rabbits." My humblest apologies to all of you who had their responses edited. I unfortunately had a lapse of insight into the fact that I was inadvertantly inviting you to mention competitors when I solicited info regarding cigar vendors in Boston, MA area. Not my intent at all.
