Anyone have an office humidor? What do you have and what do you keep in it? I know one or two of you have the priveledge of smoking in the office, but I don't. Just thinking of finding a small 10 or so humi to keep sticks in for when I want one during lunch. Right now, I just bring them with me. Previously in a ziploc, now in my brand spankin' new Cigar Caddy. :D
But sometimes I end up not smoking what I brought, or finding myself wishing I HAD brought a smoke, hence the office humi idea.
Thoughts?
I do not keep a humi in the office, but I carry an otter box with me almost daily :D
I have a 5 and 15 count otter that I carry in the car, I ussually bring it out in the morning and inside when I get home, you never know, allways be prepared.

That's where I'm at with the Cigar Caddy right now. I just think I'd rather have them sitting here resting in a true humi, ya know?
And sorry, this really should have gone under Storage I suppose.

I've been looking at BH's seconds just so I can look at some cigars while working. When it gets warm again, like in March/April, I will start smoking during lunch.

I think the superintendent of schools would have a problem with me having a humidor in my band room! I personally don't see the problem, but, you know, having the kids digging around for a good robusto might be a problem!

I have a small humidor at work.. just a cheapy.. nothing speacial.. keep psd 4s and perdomo la tradition at the moment.. but I normally try to have some shorts and boli cj .. smaller vitolas and some clubs for shorter breaks...
I am in a school here but have a non student access office so no drama for me.. and besides.. our students are all adults.. aged 18 -70...

Can't smoke at the office I'm at now. I used to when I was at our other office, but just kept my cigars in a ziplock and carted them back and forth everyday.
I had thought about getting a Caddy to use at work where I would feel more comfortable leaving them there, but just never purchased one.

I thought about bringing a small humidor to work, but the heat/AC gets turned down/off on the weekends. So, I can't risk what that might do to the smokes. I've been bringing a few with me to work on the weekends in a 3-cigar holder/case, but I've never liked the odor that the case seems to have. Although it's supposed to be lined with cedar, it just seems odd. I'm going to start using my new Otter now, especially after reading some of the other posts here about how long the smokes will stay fresh in it.

I have been using a Fuente bag for a long time. What works now is the can that the Cuesta-Rey milano 4 pack comes in when you join J.C. newman. I like it and I works and it was kind of free.

The first humidor I bought was a 25 stick bix at JR in midtown.
After outgrowing it in a couple of weeks, I brought it into the office. Usually smoke after work, and instead of shlepping ciagrs back and forth - it was just easier.
Of course, now I do both ... keep the little office humi plus carry a small 5 stick otterbox that I picked up on cbid

I thought about getting a small humi for the office, but I can't smoke at work and my walk to the train is only 5 minutes at night. Still isn't a bad idea for the nights that I go out after work to have a few in the office to take along.

I've got one at my office. My old boss ordered me a box of custom banded cigars from the Phillipines. The box is actually a humidor that has a very nice seal. It has my name ornately engraved on the lid. Well, I took out almost all of the Phillipine cigars and filled it back up with my favorites. Great to have around if I get called out to a last minute herf. :smt031

I can't smoke at work but I have been thinking about getting one for my office just so i have something for lunchtime if the need arises. I just havn't found one I like though or one that would be sturdy enough.
I purchased and Avallo 1200 Deluxe that I keep in my office. I don't smoke at work but occasionally meet the guys and friends for herfs after work and can now just dig into that for what to bring along with me.

I keep a 50 ct. at work. I don't keep it full. I just like to have some smokes in case I feel like one on the drive home, maybe twice a month or so. I keep a variety from mild to strong cuz you just never know what you're gonna feel like smokin'.

I keep my Daniel Marshall at the office..well, it's not really an office, it's my store. I probably shouldn't be smoking here, but I figure if I'm gonna pay rent, I'm gonna get every nickel worth!!! :lol:

I've been carrying a little 4 stick cigar caddy everyday. But since my new boss is a BOTL, I've felt the need to keep more on hand. I've been meaning to purchase a decent traveldor for the herfs I attend anyways. So I got that bright yellow otterbox on closeout that I read about here(somewhere). I figure I can leave it at work most of the time, but take it out if attending a herf. Got a box of CAO extremes on the way to get it started! Yummy!
Thanks to N2 for the heads up on the cheap otterbox!

Changed my mind... Bought a Vicksburg last week and given that I keep a relatively small amount of cigars at home (compared to many of you, at least), I think I am going to haul my little 100 ct into the office.
What the hell, it matches my office furniture perfectly. Now I have to fill it up with some short smokes. Better get those taxes done, I guess.
