So as my passion for cigars grows, so does my necessity for space. I am currently working out of a 30 cigar starter humidor, and with my new desire to collect more cigars, be bombed, and bomb fellow brothers, I need a new humidor. I need a cheap humidor, since I am a poor college student. Any ideas where I can get a humidor for a reasonable price?

To be honest with you I can pay as high as I need, but as I am in college and have other bills the cheaper the better. I need enough room so I can return fire on all of you guys.

I say in the long run a coolidor will do you a lot better. trust me you'll buy one and then need more space before you know it. but if your looking for a destktop, holts is running a clearence, and cheapHumidors has good deals on imperfects

Probably next week I am going to order a Wine Fridge..... Anybody know of somewhere to look. I am eyeing one now I saw on Amazon.com but I wanna look at even more so I am sure on what I want.

Need something cooled because the dorms I may live in have no AC and it can get very hot at times..... BTW I have a 120 ct Desktop at my house that is pretty much full.

Wish I had the money to put into one of those Avallos... that's some nice work.

Shipping can suck...go to Target...vinotemp for $140...a little more than online...but no shipping.

For a desktop...check out craigslist first...usually can find one on there for cheap.

I was inspired by another post to build my own humidor. I am a Junior in the Construction Sciences department of UT. I think I should be able to handle constructing a humidor. I hope?

Target and Best buy seem to have good deals on the thermoelectric wine fridges often...

Also... if you're patient you can score good deals sometimes at places like home depot and lowes.

My wineador came from best buy, but my wife's 32 bottle wine fridge came from home depot... it was a display model and they couldn't find the keys so we got it for 90 bux! woot woot!

Cuban Crafters has some good ones that aren’t that expensive. I say get one that holds at least 120. You’ll be able to get at least 70-80 in there.

Exactly my thoughts ! I bought a couple of humi from the crafters and they are a great bang for the buck ! Their humidors are amazing ! I've seen humis of similar quality being sold for mega bucks ! Give them a shot bro

A coolerador is a great idea for the long haul and can be had for around $40 for a 100 quart size. If you just want to store your smokes in something easy and cheap might I suggest the RubberMaids that I use for overflow storage that hold about 100-150 cigars. Put some beads in there and you are good to go. It might not look expensive but it works as good as any humidor out there. I have used mine for 2 years and it pegs at 68% RH.
