Anyone have a suggestion on how I go about selling my late husband’s cigar humidors? I have a couple Elie Bleu and one of Nat Sherman’s personal and engraved humidors.

    Give more background details - how your husband acquired them, and how that happened - and then post some non-stock photos, i.e. your home and/or something that shows they're yours. State prices, and if you'll adjust said prices.

    Lastly, don't be surprised at the replies here; we get loads of shysters trying to sell stuff.

    Thanks for your reply.
    Malcolm was a cigar lover since he was a teenager (grandfather was giving him smokes when he was 15)
    He has 8 humidors and acquired them over the years. (He has one of Nat Sherman’s personal humidors - initials engraved on top of case) I am still “watering” his many cigars 🤪 to keep them in good shape. He has Cohiba Reserva, Bolivar Casa Del Hubano, Monte Cristo, and more….We even went to Havana and Pinar Del Rio to visit the tobacco farms back in 2013. I will post some pictures shortly.

    They look very nice. Have you tried checking cigar shops to see if they'll sell them on consignment?

    Do you have children or grandchildren that may be interested since that was how he got started?

    If it don’t bother me, it don’t bother me. Just leave me alone.

    Repurpose as a jewelry box?

    Maybe somebody here could give Sandra a somewhat realistic idea of what she might expect from the sale of these, either individually or all-in. That way, when she starts talking to anyone, she can be realistic and not over- or undervalue them.

    Do you believe “Sandra” is realistic?

    @Sandra sorry to hear of your late husband.

    As @peter4jc mentioned don’t be surprised by some of the responses you may get. There are a plethora of shady people coming here to peddle their snake oil and wares.

    Also, as @Rdp77 mentioned it would seem a nice gesture to hand down to grand children.

    I will add that it would be nice if you could share these humidors and cigars with some of your late husbands smoking buddies.

    Lastly, don’t expect a high return on investment when and if selling. Realistically, 20-25% would be par for course with the cigar community. Also, because of the sheer unknown, expect potential buyers to request you send first followed by payment. Example of stand up folks around here who are well known and trustworthy would have at minimum 2000+ posts and are regular contributors.

    Hopefully, this will help you.

    A good cigar and the open road solve most problems.

    Milwaukee, silly, you know that.

    I heard they have excellent coffee there. Someone should start a get together in that area and smoke cigars.

    There's an ok coffee shop there that has some decent Google reviews.

    @ScotchnSmoke sux lots of large wéiners. And tons of small ones.

    Good luck selling them and f you're determined to do so. If you're not worried about making money off them then I would suggest donating them to your local responders or a Veteran center. I'm sure they would appreciate it and take great care of them.

    Especially if you're in Cali

    Thanks for the responses here. I like the idea of giving to a grandson (however he is 5….lol) and I’ll definitely keep one as a jewelry box/great suggestion…..and Peter4jc you are right about “Sandras”
