Re: So I just bought this humidor... Do I need anything else?
I agree on the beads and lots of cigars to fill it. Congrats on the purchase. Word of advice, dont bid on humidors when you have been drinking. I have learned the hard way three times in the past. Enjoy

With a 20 cigar capacity, you might want to try a small Humidi Puck from Cigarmony.com

If you are planning on upgrading (it wouldnt be a bad idea due to the "slippery slope" and all ) you would probably be better off with a half pound or so of beads as DriftyGypsy mentioned.

I second the small Humidi-Puck suggestion. I have one in a 20 count humi and it works great.

Re: So I just bought this humidor... Do I need anything else?
I got that same humi with 10 of the 06 Limitada's. It seals pretty well, not a bad little humi. I am using it for a dry box, but I think the humidi-puck is probably the best idea. Either that, or a small tube of beads.
You WILL be getting something bigger soon, but rather than look at another humi consider a cooler, and keep this as your smoke from.

The HumidiPuck is excellent, just be [SIZE=5]really careful[/SIZE] when you open it up to wet the foam. They don't warn you it throws tiny white and clear beads everywhere if you're not super careful.

I dont think you are supposed to open it up to fill. Simp,ly mist the top of the unit with the holes in it and you are set. RJT

Yes a half pound of 65% beads, an eighty quart cooler to keep them in and an Oust fan to move the air around.

Re: So I just bought this humidor... Do I need anything else?
Yeah, the Humidi-Puck instructions say to "carefully open" and wet the foam part. I didn't open carefully but the beads rolling all over the floor make a really cool sound.

Wetting it without opening is probably a much smarter stragedy.
