My first humidor (that i still use as a secondary) is a Rocky Patel 1992 Series Box with a Cigars Classics Crystal Humidification Device. It works relatively well holding up between 65% and 70% relative humidity. I installed the humidification device on the roof of the box which makes the lid heavier creating a solidly tight seal.

A 20 count basic box that I got back in the early 1990's...

I have no idea where it is today.. I stopped using it as a humidor probably 6 months after I got it and started using as a bedside table box for my watch, wallet, keys, etc.. Im pretty sure I gave it to someone a couple of years after that...

macanudo robust green ass 25ct, my lady scored for me as a christmas hook up like ten years ago (god love her but i bet she regrets it!). long since outgrown and regifted.

my second was a craftsman's bench 100ct, when they first came out. not the sexiest, but i have had it for like eight years now and it is ROCK SOLID for an $80 humidor. keep my essentials in there, like my grab and go box (currently some padron Ks, la duena, torano vault, and some old ass ricky's).

My first was a $50 no-name 25 count desktop with a paradigm humidifier that actually worked great for me. My dad now uses it as he only keeps about 20 or so cigars at a time.

First humidor for me was one of the Xikar travel cases used with a Boveda humi pack. Now I have all sizes... still use Boveda... works like a champ!

My wife bought me a 50 ct humi combo from Thompson a couple years ago. Still works great and currently keep some of my "first gen" smokes, for my friends, with some heartfelt beads. Holds rock solid at 65.

My very first humidor was a DIY set up....plastic peanut container with a drymistat tube.




My first "real" humi was a 1950's vintage model with a milk glass interior that I bought on ebay for $20. I still use it today for the smokes I plan on burning in the short term.

My first was a 50 ct. thompson humi that I still use for my infused/flavored stick that are for non-cigar smoking guests that want to "try" a cigar. Or for when we break out the beer pong table, that's about the only time I reach in there lol!

I had a 25 ct that came with the first sampler I ever bought I think from jr. Years later I gave it to a friend to get him started and told him to do the same when he didn't need it anymore but he still has it last I heard.

My first was a CI "Yukon" 50 ct. I use it mainly for dry boxing these days.
This was my first one as well. I dropped it when moving it one day and it broke. I have moved up to a Tampa Humidors (not sure if this is who made it but, that's what the box said) glass top 150. It is doing great!

It was a 100 count(realistically ~50) that I got for Christmas a couple years back. I gave it to my father last summer with a handful of cigars so he could get back into it.
