Well looks like this site has claimed another one. :rage:

At first I thought the 10ct cigar caddy wold be enough for storage seeing as I wasn't planning on keeping that many Cigars around but the more and more I check out the threads here and see this Cigar or that Cigar I find myself thinking I wouldn't mind trying that one. So im looking for a humidor something that will hold around 50-100. Also if you have pics of your humidors that fit the above that would be great as well.

Thanks for any help

If money is not much of an issue, a wineador is a great investment. However, I still use my 150 ct sterling glass top that I got off of cigar bid for $75 about a decade ago, in addition to my wineador. People may say bad things about those humis, but I've never had an issue, nor do I plan on getting rid of it since I still love it.

And remember, you may knock 30-40% off what a humi says it will hold. My 150 could never hold that many, especially when you add things like different cigar sizes, humi beads, kitty litter, etc...

I just ordered my second humidor, after more than 10 years I decided I need more storage. I think the glass top I have was rated at 150 count but I can't fit more than about 70 in it so be aware that you will fill up your humidor faster than you think. A decent 100 to 150 count desktop humidor will probably fit your needs and not break the bank, but I would recommend immediately getting rid of the foam humidifiers and analog hygrometers that come with most units. A good digital hygrometer is a must have and I'd recommend Heartfelt Beads to keep your investment safe.

+1 for coolidor, it's the best bang for your buck. here's your shopping list.
the cooler ($16): http://www.walmart.com/ip/Igloo-48-Quart-Breeze-Ice-Chest/23735484
humidifing element ($17): http://www.amazon.com/Boveda-2-Way-Humidity-Control-Large/dp/B004LHSOBK/ref=pd_sim_201_7?ie=UTF8&dpID=51dhE7v1wmL&dpSrc=sims&preST=_AC_UL160_SR160,160_&refRID=00N67SMJR8B9FFF6ZTA6
digital hygrometer: ($17) http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000H6CZQE/ref=s9_simh_gw_p201_d0_i4?pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_s=desktop-1&pf_rd_r=1Q7T92R97YSBSRFF4MZ9&pf_rd_t=36701&pf_rd_p=2079475242&pf_rd_i=desktop
Spanish cedar to help maintain humidity till you get it full, Most shops will either give them to you or charge a buck or two a box.
Grand Total: $50 + how much the empty cigar boxes cost you. Which is around how much you'll pay for a good desktop humidor but coolidor will give you so much more storage space.

Just get a big one or you will just be buying another one in 2-4 months. I bought a desktop 250 for 80 bucks then 2 months later bought a stand up 350 for 160. Or tups
