Hello all, I've been a c-bidder for about 4 years now. I finally have gone to a new level. Started out with a 50 cigar humi, after about 6 months had to upgrade to a 300 cigar humi. about a year later I started looking into making a coolerdor but I held off, then I filled up my 50 and my 300. What to do? Started smokin like crazy, givin them to friends etc. Bought another 25 stick humi. Well now I've done it bought the mega humidor they just started offering 3000+ capacity. Keep telling myself, I'll never fill that baby up....but how can a boy stop buying?? I'm sooo hooked!

gentlemen, PURELY in the interest of your well being and peace of mind, i offer this solution -- i humbly offer to take those extra smokes off your hands (and off your mind) and store them for you here.

why be plagued with nightmares of stale, dying cigars because you just. do. not. have. the. room?

i'll take your burdens, brother, take them as my own! er, the burden that is. yeaaaah, that's the ticket. 😉

enjoy 'em all in good health, both of ya's.

X have not yet recieved it, am waiting with cigar tainted breath. It does not come with a humidification system. I'm probably going to get a Cigar Oasis II once the humi arrives. Been keeping my eye on them the past several weeks. Cavallo, thanks for the offer, I appeciate your selflessness! However I still have room for a few more, which are coming to me this week. After that, I think I will have reached critical mass!

lol hey, ess, when you get this big thang all set up, how's about posting a pic of it? give us whatevador folks something to drool over. 🙂

i really do think that the whatevador (what i call my plastic storage unit) is a great, inexpensive way to expand storage quickly and easily, but i have to admit that i do dream of the day when i can get some big behemoth humidor like that. just sounds like a thing of beauty as well as being practical.

Nice buy S3. I have to hide my measly little humi's under the bed. I can't imagine the Ebay spree my wife would inflict on our credit cards if I tossed one of those mondo-humidors in the corner of the living room.

The way I justified it to my wife was, that she wouldn't want to be tripping over coolerdors all over the house. So daddy gets a nice little piece of "furniture" for the living room. I'll post a picture of that bad boy when I get it. Sadly it will look empty because it holds so danged many cigars, my "measly" 300 will look lonely. Of course as soon as it gets set up, the feeding frenzy will begin. I mean who wouldn't want to fill it up ASAP? Just means instead of buying a used car for my son, I'll be shamelessly bidding my cruel heart out!

Son gets the 95 Nissan hardbody I been driving. Dad gets a brand new car as soon as I get back from deployment. *HUGE grin*

C-Bid is crack.

I managed to stay away for a week, but...

I have had to smoke more to make room (uh, huh!).

My buddy just got a 500 smoke humi, so I'll put the arm on him for storage. That way, when I visit, I'll always have one of mine waiting for me.

I can totally relate. I started with the 150 cigar tabletop. But THEN I bought the 40 box end table, thinking I'd NEVER fill it.
Somehow, it looks so small now!

Liz and I did some reorganizing and tok the opportunity to inventory while doing so. She has a Sweaterdor and m y old small coolidor, and my old display humi, contents 501 cigars! I have two sweaterdors, contents 645 cigars between the two of us, there are 100 to 150 little cigars, but thats STILL alot of smokes! We each have two or three boxes of Churchills, so burning the evidence of our compulsion would take some SERIOUS time!

MACS(SW),

You can't go wrong with the Verona. I have one. I bought it on CBid and felt like a hero since I got such a good deal.

I, being the wuss that I am, did not tell the wife that I bought it. She found out when it came in one afternoon (I swear I thought she was supposed to be working that day). I unboxed it and she thought it was a nice piece of furniture and actually like it when she saw that the clock worked when I put in the battery.

I keep it locked now, the humidity was always dropping as the wife would show it off and have her friends take a 'wiff' of the collection. Speaking of which, I need a good 'wiff' right now to help me go to sleep.
