I saw this in the Cigar.com magazine. It's the Daniel Marshall 20th Anniversary Treasure Chest. The advertise it as the number 1 humidor in the world. Not sure what the hype is about, but also has a steep $900 price tag.

Wow, pretty proud of their stuff I guess.
I would rather have the money in cigars and put them in a coolidor. :-)
I would gladly spend another $100 for another treasure dome and fill it full of cigars for allot less than that.
We sold one of those at our shop for full price this last xmas if you can believe it. It's pretty dang nice but I don't know if it's worth the price...

Did you sell it to Arnold Schwarzenegger? The write up says he bought one for himself (http://www.cigargeeks.com/../images/emoticons/lmao.gif)
There's some awesome humidors out there. How does one determine which is the best?

Marketing.
In this case, the Gubernator's stamp of approval? :confused:

Then there has to be a Gurkha humidor out there that beats this.

$900 Sheesh. This must be the humidor to hold the "Rolls Royce of Cigars". For $900 you could have yourself a cabinet.
Why would anyone want 24 karat gold hardware? First off it has to be plating because it would be much more expensive if it wasn't and second 24k gold is soft and would not hold up very well. I like the 29,500 humidor on eBay much better so I am saving up for that one.

I'd rather have something nice like this:

Wow, now that is pretty nice. I can see some of the price justified in that offering.
Seems like an OK looking humidor but looks can be deceiving. If I am spending that much on something to store cigars in I feel there are better options for the money. Hell you may even have some money left to buy cigars if you do it right.
In the end it can be the best humidor in the world but if you don't maintain it properly it is just an expensive box to hold bad cigars. I really didn't see much special about it.
That looks like something some guy's wife would buy for him for anniversary or birthday, not knowing anything about the subject. She goes into a fine tobacconist and tell them she's looking for a gift and has a $1000 budget. They convince her this is the #1 humidor (whatever that means) etc. She buys it hook, line, and sinker, and hubby gets a new (ludicrously expensive) desktop humi.
For me, if I'm gonna budget those kinda bones for a desktop humidor, I'm going with something custom made by some talented woodworking craftsman.
But like many of you, although I appreciate quality products, I don't personally think this is a good value.
I'll put this one up against that thing any day! This was only $140 and keeps absolutely perfect humidity with just one Boveda pack. It is now going on three years old(and is completely filled) and is the most stable humi I own..... :shades:

I have that same humi Brad, just different verneer on the outside. Mine keeps humidity awesomely!

You've got that thing stocked nicely too!
This is from a company that sells $220 cigars. I don't think that a $900 humidor is all that outrageous from them.

Brian, it's gone through quite a few transitions since that pic was taken a couple years ago. The addition of the other tower has allowed me to clean it up a good bit! It used to have a double layer on top and no room in the bottom!

It can hold up to 75 if packed neatly.......
Sooooo ummmm.....were anyone else waiting to hear just how much cigars it's supposed to hold...to me that's the most important bit of information over the gold plated hinges and tassel key.... Ehh :confused: :confused:
Wow, that's pricey. for now, I'll stick w/ my ZipLoc container. I has kept my cigars at 75% humidity for over 4 months. May I'll by a "real" humidor someday.
Hi Everyone, I put some pictures of my Ziploc container humidor in the Photo Albums. Some of you who use tupperdores or have used them, give me some feed back on my set-up.
Thanks,
Joe
I love my treasure done. I would never spend that much for a humi that size.
