Scored this little humi last night...

[Smoqman]

eBay, $79

The seller said his company manufactures them in China, but I've heard it's a good box.

That's a good price, I have seen them on CL around me for over $100.

If its the same one at my B&M it's actually pretty solid humidor for that price.

Got the same one from C BID...you can usually score them under $50...just have some patience and you can get them for a good price.

 

[Smoqman]

Thanks all. The cheapest I could find them was $138 (with some accessories). CI had them for $75 a while back, but they replied to my email stating that they had been discontinued by the Manufacturer. Confession: I saw this model in one of jolietfire's videos and just thought it looked great.

I'm a RP fan as well, so......

Nice. Is that a 50 ct?

 

[halel]

That's very pretty!!

Well, my little "score" came to an abrupt end. The seller contacted me and said that some freight fell onto the pallet that contained the box and that it was smashed to smithereens. He refunded my money. However two days later, I looked on eBay for a similar humi, and lo and behold the same seller had the same box available for sale. Sketchy?

I'm now looking at Waxing Moon, White Eagle humidors, and Daniel Marshall.

That does seem a little on the sketchy side, that or they just didn't update their online stock.

It's always hard to trust some of these sellers on ebay. I have seen that humi for sale on a few websites. So it would probably not be hard to source another.

Check out these two humidors on Famous. Both are made from the same company, and are nicely priced:

http://www.famous-smoke.com/othello+checkerboard+humidor/item+36051

The Solana sells for like $150 at the B&M I go to, and is very popular.

Thanks ar2381,

My only real gripe with the Chinese made stuff is the bottom thickness of SC. I didn't even realize the RP model was made there until today
I'd really like to get a box from a fellow Member who has outgrown their current set up. That way I could know for sure if it's "good" and it'd be pre-seasoned. I may just go Aristocrat, but I am not sure.

Thanks all!

Hey man, try your local antique shops. That's where I got mine and it is a fabulous box.

 

[Smoqman]

Hey halel,

That's a fun idea! What kinda box did you get?

No clue. An older 50-60 count with brass hardware. Holds a consistent humidity and I only paid $20.

Oh! And the guy threw in these cigar boxes as well.
