Input on a new humidor

[Brentcally]

I currently have a 100 count and a 50 count humidor. Thanks to you great bunch of enablers, i am out of room. My wife has graciously offered to get me a new humi for my birthday next month! I am thinking of a small cabinet style humi. What do you all recommend. And/or is anybody looking to sell one.

Also i don't really want to do the coolidor thing just yet. I don't think she would approve of the decore.

I picked up the Lauderdale about a month ago and couldn't be happier. Holds humidity fantastically and was very reasonably priced. Picked it up paired with a small Hydra for just under $400. Plus it's not so big that UPS won't deliver it, which saves freight shipping. Of course it's already filled with over 500 sticks in it haha! Also, I went to the local glass shop after it got delivered and had them cut me a glass top for it, with a rounded, pencil edge. Nice looking piece of furniture in my man cave.

From what I have seen, heard here, and experienced the biggest one you can afford PERIOD. Damn these guys all are enablers and now my wife is mad at me because of all of you.

Yeah, just forget the humidor and line one of your bedrooms with Spanish cedar then get a 50-pound bag of kitty litter to keep it humidified.

Do it once and done.  If you're at all the handyman type, you can fairly easily build yourself a customized unit and buy more cigars with the money left over.  Here's a couple great options:

You can go with a large coolidor.  There's plenty of hints and how to's on this site including:

Or control both temperature and humidity with a Vinodor like these:

X2 Bigger is better, my next purchase will be the bateman (aka bermuda) cabinet.

i have the Lauderdale with a hydra as well. it doesn't hold near the advertised count on many of these sites. i like it though and would buy it again. i paid about $250 for mine from cheaphumidors.com.
