Thinking about getting "Point of Display" humi's.

[shilala]

I'm looking at this...

And this...


The first is a 75ct. The second is a 150ct.
Ideally, I'd like something like those two, but one unit around 40" wide that opens from the front. I can't use the 150ct. pictured here because it opens from the back.
I could just fit three of the 75ct.'s on top of my wine coolers.

Anyone know somewhere where I can get a wider/taller unit like these?
I'd rather it wasn't dark, but an oak finish. I'd make it myself, but I'm afraid I'm getting in over my head. I'm no cabinet maker.
I tossed around the idea of buying and converting a glass display, but I don't like the look, anyway.
The goal is that I want to see my cigars.
The top of my current desktop humi is glass and I love peeking in there.
Thanks guys!!!
Scott

***Edit:
These are from Cuban Crafters. They look a lot nicer and I could fit two in the space I have.
They look like they're better built, too.

those look nice, I see you live in PA wonder how far you are from CI. Could always take a ride over and check out this one http://www.cigarsinternational.com/p...&cat=10&page=2 holds 250 sticks so you wouldnt have to buy 2.

Opens from the back. No good to me at all.
Thanks anyways!!!

Cuban Crafters stocks quality humidors; I purchased my first desktop from their site. I highly suggest them.

I have one of those first ones (a cheap knock-off, I only got it for overflow) and I can tell you that unless you're going to use it for pure display of only a few sticks, it's a space-waster.

I could fit maybe 30 sticks on display, and that's stacking precariously if th sticks are 50+RG. You can store another 10 or so under the bottom shelf.

If you were closer I'd gladly give you mine if you didn't want the fancy one. It's just not worth shipping, though.

sorry about that, if your not looking to put it on top of a counter or something maybe you could go with a different type of show peice like a nice table humi http://www.cigarsinternational.com/p...&cat=10&page=7 If not then this one would be a little more roomy with some display/box storage space. But the price is a bit higher http://www.cigarsinternational.com/p...&cat=10&page=8 other then that I like the look of this one personally http://www.cigarhumidors-online.com/...lleenlarge.htm This one looks something like you might like too in a mohagony finish http://www.cigarhumidors-online.com/...varenlarge.htm The one im thinking about possibly ordering is from cuban crafters Im looking for something that has a nice display but also offers some storage. What do you think about this one? http://www.cubancrafters.com/products.php/item_id/2672 Hope I could help, if you see anything else let me know as im looking for something along the lines of what you are.

Nope, none of those will get it.
I already have two 35 bottle wine coolers. I have a 400ct. glass top and front desktop humi.
I'm looking for a display humi. An outright plain and simple display that opens from the front.
I looked some more and the Cuban Crafters one looks like my only real choice short of making my own.

Yeah, I was pretty leery about that top one. It's the kind you see at ebay. They're not the best made humi's in the world.
I figured since I was just using it for display it may be alright, but I've since changed my mind about them altogether.
My entire goal here is not functionality or storage. Just display. I like seeing my cigars. They turn me on.
I'll look a bit more and likely go for the Cuban Crafters.
Thanks brother, and thanks for offering the humi.

Shilala,
If you are set on the Cuban Crafters unit, I can get you a better price. Shoot me an email or PM and I can give you more info.

Thanks again!!!

I ended up buying two of the Cuban Crafters. They should be here early next week.
I'm stoked.
Now I have to find a cover of some sort for the top of my wine coolers.
But that's another thread...
