My lil cab is maxed out and has been for 3-4 months. The big cab has maybe 10% left. It is causing me anxiety as the order compulsion remains firmly in place.

I'm thinking walk-in. For now, as the computer room has been steady at 66-68% all summer, I have started to stack new boxes in there before humi cramming. The systems guys are, at least initially, slightly amused. I’m kind of freaked given the projected end of next week reaching capacity point. Coolidors for the aging stock time I guess.

Does the current level of capacity available in your humidors affect your buying behavior?

Re: What % full is your Humidor? And what are you thinking?

i have a fairly large Aristocrat Plus that i just got, and had it about 33% filled... that was late July.

now, i am down to roughly 120, or less, cigars.

what am i thinking? i'm going to smoke what i currently have (although i am about to sell my opened box of 20 VR DAs from April '00), and then when they're all gone, the Aristocrat is up for sale.

Re: What % full is your Humidor? And what are you thinking?

My tupperdor is probably 30% full and my coolerdor is probably 15% full. I don't have enough cash to fill them!

Absolutely, once humidor capacity has been reached, there is no other alternative. My buying behavior dictates that it's time to buy a new humidor/coolerdor!

Re: What % full is your Humidor? And what are you thinking?

I am 100% full up. Cigarbid dropped off yesterday. A-ador is stacked, I had to bring in cigars today for a co worker to smoke from the B-ador, and office-ador is packed.


I won't be buying for a while, no room.

Re: What % full is your Humidor? And what are you thinking?

This is an interesting topic.. Right now I have Desktop Humi space for about 120 Cigars.. I am probibly at 110. Humi space does effect my buying habbits which is why I have not switched over to a coolerdor. I am trying to keep my purchases down to a reasonable level. this winter I am going to buy a rubbermade bin to store my desktop Humies in. I have had trouble in the winter keeping the humidity up so this should do the trick.. Hopefully it will not have room to store boxes.. I may be in trouble if it does.

Re: What % full is your Humidor? And what are you thinking?

My humidor is pretty full - to the point where I have an unopened box of partagas humitubes sitting on a shelf in my bar waiting for humidor space. I have only reduced my purchasing while I find time to smoke more.

You may just have to stop purchasing and start enjoying smoking. By the time you work through your cabinet, some of those cigars will have aged 2-3 years. Think about how nice they will be by then.

same here. I have 2 150ct humi's, one is roughly full and the other is 90% full. I have 2 40ct humi's, one is 80% full and the other is 90% full. Once they are full it will (and has) stop me from buying for a while unless some REALLY great deal comes up.

So IHT - how much you thinking of asking for the Aristocrat Plus?

Re: What % full is your Humidor? And what are you thinking?

80 count desktop humidor is nearly full. I have a small coolador that is at the half way point. Everyonce in a while I'll smoke one of my sticks that have some age on them and it convinces me that I need to buy more cigars so I can reserve a bunch for aging.

Re: What % full is your Humidor? And what are you thinking?

I'm in agreement with Jeff. Gotta get more capacity in order to age my cigars. I end up smoking purchases with 2-3 months.

Time to set up a coolerdor

Re: What % full is your Humidor? And what are you thinking?

I tend to buy cigars no matter what, then try to find a way to store them once they are on the way. Right now, I have a 75 count humi that is about 90% full, and a coolerdor that is about only 10% full, if that (I just started that one as a result of a couple of boxes that I purchased). I plan to use the coolerdor for boxes and fivers and the desktop for my singles. Right now I am trying to fight the temptation to buy more boxes. I have all this room for them, but no money to pay for them

Okay I see you are having storage problems Dave. Fortunately I have started a new business patterned after the concept behind Iron Mountain offsite data storage. Mine is called Stogie Mountain. If you have run short of room and need a fully bonded offsite storage facility, we are here for you! We have a state of the art climate controlled Haier 120 System storage facility. It's monitored 24/7 by a dedicated staff of fully certified Stogologists. Sampling occurs at 24 hour intervals to insure the efficacy of the underlying system. If you are considering offsite storage don't forget Stogie Mountain.
