Thanks for helping ease my mind Baric. I was going to start drinkin heavy. Now I can wait until the clambake at 3:00 to start

Looks like a nice humidor! Fill her up and let us know how many it really holds.

i saw that one on ebay when i was looking for my new one. ebay has some good stuff.

i got the exact same humi bout a month ago. it definately won't be what u expect. the "glass" is actually plastic and i don't think its all that airtight. the humidifiers it comes with are too small and 300 smokes is a long stretch. all in all, for 50 bucks i guess i can't complain too much more. good for storage i suppose. good luck

[RockyP]

make sure you ask questions. i mean if you plan on storing some high end smokes please oh please spend the money on a decent humi. ebay does have some good stuff like i said before but i would deffinitly consider spending some money on a good humi

Congrats on your purchase. Looks like you got a pretty good deal.

I recently bought a 150 ct and then a 300 ct from the same company on ebay. They look great but are tiny. They maybe hold 1/3 of the stated capacity. I have about 450 Cigars and after filling these humis up, still had over 250 without a home. Had to go and construct a couple coolerdor's which work fine. So the price is right, but just don't expect anywhere near their stated capacity.

i had bought this humi from a local B & M and found out the same thing that it was not cedar lined, just a pinewood box mini-coffin. Lucky i was able to return it for a refund.

I got it 2 days ago. It might hold 300 cigarettes J/K. It'll be fine for awhile.

so far so good with this sucker

Is it safe to assume they make their money on the S&H fees?

[Guitarman-S.T-]

with all ebay 9.99 humidors the money is definetly in the shipping

[beezer]

sure but I didn't even give $40 for it and it's worth every penny. It holds the humidity well.

My roomate bought a $9.99 special on ebay as well. He was kinda pissed that the glass was plastic, but after a quick seasoning it seems to be holding at 70rh. I suggested that he buy a digital hygro just incase his analog is whack. I also insisted he get some beads, but he doesn't want to buy anything online anymore and the local B&Ms are too old school for beads lol. Anyways, good luck stocking it, my humi will be here on tuesday !!!

As long as it holds RH, thats all that REALLY matters. That being said, if I bought a humi on ebay that was supposed to be a "glass" top, I'd be pretty pissed to find out its plastic.
