One of my goals for 2009 is to get a large humidor for my collection, and I figure I might as well start looking right away. Since many of you are much more knowledgable than I am, I thought I'd ask for help 🙂

I'd like a cedar-interior humi with 1500+ storage space geared towards boxes as opposed to singles, and NO GLASS. I'm flexible as to style (table, cabinet, top-loader, etc.) but am mostly looking for good CHEAP storage to keep my collection safe and improve aging over my current multiple tupperware set-up.

I like this one, just for an example, though this would be on the small end:

If anyone has one that they'd like to trade, please email me. Or if you notice something that you think I might like, please let me know!

Thanks for the help gang!

Your link is useless.

link no workie

...weird. Let's try this again:

That link works a lot better.

Good luck in your search. Keep watching the ones on cbid. Might get lucky.

^yea, I've bid on a few, no luck yet. I'll keep trying, though. I'm also hoping to score something out of the paper or craig's or some such. I'm trying to be patient...but I'm so out of space, lol.

So not out of space did I hear ya say?

lol, let's just say that I've had to claim the family cooler for overflow 🙂 I'd better be out of that cooler by the time it's warm enough to need to use it, or the wife might give me the "that's it" speech, lol.

Now find one cheaper

Now way that thing is good for 1,500 cigars unless they were all bundled coronas; and then I still don't think they'd all fit.

Yea, that one looks nice for display, but I'm looking for a storage container only (no glass, with a lock--kids).

I'd love an avallo, but they're just too pricey (unless they started selling them here...that would be sweet!).

just get a tower of power and pimp it out with some limo window tint. just like not having any glass cause you couldn't see in there. problem solved!

Someone could make alot of money if they just made a cheap, big, simple cedar lined box. Nothin special just a box. I just wont pay the prices that these things go for....

^ Seriously. Just a big cedar box, maybe 2 bolted-on cedar shelves, w/seals on the doors. I don't see how that could cost more that $200 to make a 2000 count humi.

I wish I wasn't so totally useless when it comes to building things. I'd start a new buisness 🙂

Looks like ya just missed 1 good buy

I have 1 of these and love it

Just curious, I have a Lane cedar chest, and although I would never use ours for cigars (the wife would kill me), I know they can be had rather cheaply at auction (bought mine for $25 off some old lady and it's in mint condition).

I was just wondering what kind of cedar these things are lined with, because it's very big and it seems to have a good seal. I imagine it could hold a lot!

njstone see my pic post on my recent humi score see if thats what you are looking for

MT--yea, that's pretty much the size I'm looking for. Sort of a large end-table idea. That looks pretty sweet, great score!

I'd LOVE to also be able to trade for one or find it locally or something.

My ideal piece wouldn't have glass, but if I found something great I could always tint it or some such as a previous poster suggested.

My difficulty right now is trying to be patient...I'm out of space!

Oh, and I DID bid on that Montegue yesterday...close but no cigar! I'll keep bidding on them, though.

And I think I can have the same size Avallo made for the same price as CI's listing of the Montegue (or close to it) so if I end up having to buy new, I'll probably do that.

Maybe a friend who is good with woodworking will trade his services for something you are talented at.

I have a buddy who is going to line a chest I have with spanish cedar in exchange for a few cigars and some computer work.
