Single or Multiple Humidors

[Boobar]

I have a quick question for masses. I have a 65ct humidor and it works very well, updated hygrometer and viper beads. I currently have it full and am in need of more space.

My question is what do you guys feel is better, larger humidors or multiple smaller ones? I can pick up one just like the one I have or spend roughly double and get a 150-200ct humidor.

I was considering using the new one for aging and the old one for housing the ones I will be smoking on a regular basis.

Any thoughts

I like one large one.

With a large one all you cigar are kept at the same temp and humidity. Its a lot less work as well.

Go coolador or get a nice cabinet.

Coolers are the way to go for aging or long term storage. I don't have the need for anything bigger than the humi I have, but when I need more space I'll probably go with the cooler for the price and functionability.

Bigger is better, imo. If you are considering a 200 count, think bigger!

Yeah, you gotta go bigger. Especially when your a member of CS.

haha, yeah, i agree. the thing with having multiple small ones is that you'll likely keep needing a new one. that means one more humi to obsess over for proper RH/Temp...one more humi to reorganize and talk to. last thing is that with all the little humis sitting around, you'll start cluttering up your room/house...which you may not mind, your wife/mother/girlfriend/dog may otherwise.

I bought a 100 CT.

Then a 250 CT.

Then a 500 CT.

Then a 1000 CT.

A mini-cabinet.

A second mini-cabinet.

Now I have an Aristocrat coming.

Could have saved some money if I would have thought bigger sooner.

Oh no....I'm only at the 500 CT stage....It's scary when you can see what the future holds

Skip three steps and get the full size Aristocrat next learn something from those further down the slope

[rumballs]

multiple large ones

I am fairly new to cigar keeping but personally I like to keep multiple humidors of various sizes because when I get a new shipment in I keep them in a smaller humi for about a month. just to make sure there are no problems (like beetles.) Then after the month I move them into my larger humi.

Of course you will end up needing a cooler sooner or later so maybe buy the small humi and a cooler with the money you will save from not buying the larger one.
