humidor help!

[thisismysafety]

Greetings all,

I have recently been brought back to the light, so to speak, and I have decided to purchase my first humidor.

I was spurred into this decision by an anniversary gift from my girlfriend of two years. A few days ago I received a package in the mail (I am on temporary duty and live halfway across the country) of two boxes of cigars and a note explaining that she didn’t know what these were, but the guy at the cigar store recommended them. I was kind of suspicious of what I would find in the boxes. I usually smoke Sancho Panza singles I pick up on special occasions (after sampling to find a favorite) but she didn’t really know that, just that I enjoyed cigars and didn’t smoke Swisher Sweets. The first box was an A. Fuente Reserva Superior Limitada Belicoso. To date I have not been able to find any info on this cigar. The next box was a Padron 1926 Serie No. 6. Makes me ashamed of the $60 bouquet of flowers I sent her. But she makes like 3 times a much as I do, so its ok, right?

Right now the smokes are living in a tupperdor I’ve had since before the Army took me away from my hobby, alongside some Cohibas that I liberated from Communist oppression on a recent vacation.

The point of all of this is that I would like to give these beauties a proper home (that will also give me an excuse to get them some roommates). Does anyone have advice on what size humidor I should get (I currently have around 60 cigars, and have my eye on a couple more boxes of my more regular smokes), and where I can get said humidor on the cheap? I live in Army accommodations so space comes at a premium, I don’t know where I would put a free standing humidor.

Thanks for any advice you can give me!

You should post an introduction...

But it seems like the thing you might want is a coolerdor with maybe some cedar trays or a few empty boxes for the 60 you already have. There are a ton of threads on coolerdors, even a link of the cigarpass.com main page, so I'll leave that to you.

what a great wife, i've never had on but a cooler door alway seems like the right choice when it comes to storing alot of cigars for a cheap price.

Army accomodations imply limited space and security for your collection. I'd stick with the tupper and perhaps some Viper beads

Thanks for serving! Post an intro and stick around after you have your question answered.

edit: oh yeah, thats a helluva girlfriend! You did fine with the flowers.

Sweet gift. Sounds like coolidor is a good option to store those and a couple more boxes on the cheap. Neat idea with the ammo box those guys built up too.
