Well I bought a humidor. I decided to go with a nice one to start with then go to a cheaper model as the hobby grows. I went to the only decent tobacco store near me, about 30 miles away, The Lil Brown Smoke Shack (hi Judy) and bought a fairly nice 75-80 count humidor. After talking with her she convinced me that she had just as good of prices as online (and she does) and there was no shipping and handling charges. Plus she through in about $30 worth of stogies to get the humidor started in the right direction. Plus, when you get right down to it, I'd rather buy locally.
Thanks again for all of your help and suggestions.
