I would think really hard about getting a cooler. Very easy, cheap and lots of storage!
cooler is the way to go. Heck of a lot cheaper than a humidor, a lot more space for storage and probably 100% better at holding humidity.
I heard Brad's cooler is empty. Just saying.

50 or 60 cigars I have now but I figured a larger humidor for a electronic humidifier (oasis ) also its a nice piece for.the house
I hear ya on wanting something easy on the eye. Someone on her makes custom pieces. Right now just not practical for me. Plan to dig out the woodworking tools and cobble something together when and if I ever retire lol
There are so many online but you can't tell.the quality of them. Most are probably **** and don't have a good seal and are just cheaply made
Look around online for specific name brands to look for. I don't know what they are, I am not going to lie. I'm a cooler guy who also owns three humidors and every winter I think about ditching them altogether.
Definitely better to buy a humi in person, IMO. Most good B&Ms carry a range of them in various price ranges and you can check them out before you pull the trigger. If you want something to store your sticks and also display, a quality humidor is best, but if you just want a container to keep them in at optimal humidification, the cooler is better and more economical.
I personally have a humidor that I picked up on the cheap from a local beer distributor that decided not to sell cigars anymore. It was a promo model from Trinidad cigars and is a beautiful display humi. It's been adequate for me since I've never won the cigar lottery or gotten a golden ticket like @Glock1975 so I don't have a cooler, but the coolidor folk make a good case for using it if you plan to build a large inventory of cigars.
P.S. Glad we all got past the rocky start and hope you'll stick around and become part of this crazy family.

Sorry not right off hand. He made one out of an old ammo box awhile back that looked awsome. Well if your into guns and such it's awsome. Maybe someone will chime in. I do believe he mentioned he has customers so I assume he sells

The main thing to look for is quality construction and a good, tight seal. There are lots of pretty looking glass top models, but sometimes that can compromise the seal and cause problems. Most come with a humidification system but they're usually not that great so you might want to get a quality hygrometer separately.

100 count is way to small for the oasis. I second the Savoy. the one that I have holds solid, looks amazing, and has never given me problems. As stated above, however coolers are cheaper and easier to maintain, ie you don't have season them every year. Sorry if you already know this, but humidor capacity is listed using a corona size, so keep in mind 100 count is more like 75.

An oasis is designed for big storage. A 100ct or even 200 is too small for what they put out. I've heard the treasure dome is a solid humidor.
