    There are so many directions this thread can go and every thought I have on this will get me in trouble.

    Ok, restraint.

    Now then [snicker], what was it you want to really ask?

    Money can't buy happiness, but it can buy cigars and that's close enough.

    I knew it would come to this! I'll PC it for you

    I have as of yet to purchase a box of sticks...seeing as I don't have the storage space for them. I am looking at a 300ct humi to rectify this.

    hmmm… I'm mostly a box kinda guy. If I find something I like I'm all boxed up in a flash.

    Ok, all seriousness aside.
    Oh wait, so if I'm serious is that seriousness aside or not aside?
    Nevermind.

    Anyways, you are wanting to make a box purchase, but afraid you won't have the room in your humi for all of them and you want to buy a 300 ct humi, but not sure which one to buy?

    Buy the box, get a tupperdor or coolador and worry about it when you get the box(es).

    Or don't buy the box, buy a 300 ct humi, like Evanston Diablo Humidor or one of those and wait to buy the box, cause you won't have any cash after the humi purchase. : )

    And check your PM.

    I can't bring myself to do the cooler thing. I like the "display" factor of the humis.
  • Gray4linesGray4lines Posts: 4,691 ✭✭✭✭✭
    That's why you get a 150 or 300 ct.... AND a cooler! :) I have both. Definitely love having a humi. But all the overflow, boxes and bundles hit the cooler.

    Cooler for storage, Humi with a glass case for looking pretty. Seems to me like you need both!

    Every man deserves to have both... If I could, I'd have a 7ft cabinet that holds thousands. But for now, a cooler and humi do the job

    Don't feel bad. I couldn't ever bring myself to do the cooler thing either.
    But it's also why I ended up with 15 humis until I got my tower.

    get the box and get a cooler that you put in the closet so you can keep your box in there but take a few out to put in your smoking humidor. I haven't gotten to that point yet, but that is my next step.

    I am a box purchase virgin.....shizza gave took my virginity nice and easy around christmas.

    I have my 150ct (really holds 100) RP humi, buts it's all wood, not glass. I have a small 50ct, that when I get it re-seasoned will hold all my "pretty" sticks. I know I'm going to need more space though
  • jd50aejd50ae Posts: 7,900 ✭✭✭✭✭
    You know, I have been thinking about a coolidor, but, like you I like the idea of a humidor made out of wood. So, I dropped the coolidor and I am going to convert an bedside end table/desk to a humidor. Probably take me forever, but that is what I am going to do.

    I purchased my first right after Thanksgiving. Oliva V Melanios. Kicky little bundles of joy for me.

    I let my tiny little humi dry out; I should season it again because I've finally arranged the office with a place for it. But it's almost not worth it the thing is so small. I have a small bookcase/cabinet where I tuck away my collection of tupperware and ziploc bags behind a door. It works well for me, but I would like the nice display piece. Love my humi, but it needs to be about 20x bigger (15 count).
    Intelligence is knowing that a tomato is a fruit; wisdom is knowing not to put it in a fruit salad.

    I like Oliva and Quesada (including Regius) a lot.  I will smoke anything, though.

    Only box I ever bought I traded all out here... lmao was that box of Jason's. But I agree on the cooler... 300 count humi will probably be bombed to death shortly this year. Save the cash and wait for a tower!

  • No_one21No_one21 Posts: 2,182 ✭✭✭
    I'm a proponent now of a coolidor for storage and a small 50ct with glass for my oohs and ahhs. I have my good singles in the humi and one of a few different 5 packs such that the other 4 are stored and the ones just add to the aesthetics lol

    Troll on brother. I was just playing along.

    I use spell check unless I forget but I've got some wayward apostrophes in my head for some reason. <-----(Yep, I had to spell check ALL that.)
