I know a guy at work that is selling a couple humidors he has collected over the years and he has a CEO Italia humidor that is new and never used. He is asking $60 for it. Are these known to be good humidors and is it worth $60? Thanks for any info.
I got 99 problems but a humidor ain't one of em.
It's your humidity that's fucking up your cigars.I got 99 problems but a humidor ain't one of em.
What do you mean exactly?It's your humidity that's fucking up your cigars.
More than likely this humidor is one of the run of the mill humidors from Thompsons, CI, etc. that I've seen over the years. They are cheap humidors that are pressboard with little to no cedar. I bought a few in the early 2000's ( 50 count size ) to give a way to BOTL who were new to the hobby and threw in some Ronsons and marginal cigars, cutter.... to welcome them and get an idea of a "starter kit" and now wish that I didn't because the humidors were so cheaply made and these poor guys would post about how they couldn't keep a good RH in them. When one has the money to invest in a good humidor then do so...everybody needs at least one good wood humidor. In the meantime use a good size tupperador ( 2.5 gallon which holds about 150 - 200 cigars ) and save money to buy more cigars.If you are a collector of CAO stuff, then it may hold some value. If you are looking for a decent quality humidor, pass.

For several reasons:Why does everyone need a good wood humidor?
Makes sense.For several reasons:
1. They impart the cedar aroma transfer to your cigars.
2. Good wood humidors depending on size don't go bad and last a lifetime.
3. Like most things in life they are items we enjoy...like a nice watch, good suit, etc. and
enthusiasts like looking at a nice humidor and are a focal point of pride.
Not everybody has to have one...but most aspire to own a quality wood humidor for other personal reasons.
Do you already have a place/space for this humidor? Obviously you have a idea in your head of what you would like.I have a tappadore now that I have used for a couple years. The humidor looked great just couldn't find any info on them. I want to get a nice 100-150 count one day. What are good companies too look at?
