Looking to place a bid on a humidor for my office. Looking for a 100 count box. Any suggestions what I should bid on.

Ok.

Slightly less than 100 stogies, but I've got one of these that look pretty spiffy...

Then find yourself a Tupperware and some bovedas or heartfelt beads.

There's no need for anything else.

I spent a ton of mo ey trying to find a humidor that looked good, and worked.

Settled on Pelican cases. Maybe not a desktop adornment, but it does the job.

That's what everyone led off with, he shot us down :/

I would say a big herf-a-dor with a boveda then just throw it in your desk drawer.

Here's the problem tryin' to low ball a "nice" looking wood humidor.
They're mostly crap.
Have you priced any real wood lately?
What about labor to build it?
Granted, there's plenty of nice ones besides the one I linked you, but you're still gonna have to spend more than a C note dude.

If you wanna gamble, go ahead but be prepared for an unreliable box because most that I've seen won't hold humidity properly.
You're gonna be CONSTANTLY f'in with it and worrying. What's your friggin peace of mind worth???
Also, throw away the POS decorative hygrometer and get a Western Caliber digital.
Don't use the mold factory craptastic florist foam either. Boveda or Heartfelt beads.
Good luck.

The more airspace. The easier to maintain RH.

I have a 100, 150, and a Benson and Hedges 300.

My tupperdor keeps the best humidity. And I lined my B&H with Spanish cedar myself.

I have one of these

https://www.prometheuskkp.com/products/humidors/octagon/2014/rosewood.htm

It works, but not as well as two way humidification in a sealed case. Just saying. That was $500 I could've spent on cigars instead of a pretty box that holds 30 of em

Damn, that's an expensive box.

I'll stick with plastic, plastic makes the world go round.

I could make you a nice custom one, but you would need to add another at least another zero to you price point.
