I wish now that instead of buying two 200 count humidors, that I would have just got one of these larger footlocker types and been done with it. Live and learn I guess.
I got by for years with just a little 30 count desk top humidor, but at that time I was buying all of my smokes from the local b&m. My habit was to drop by the cigar store every friday afternoon and grab what I thought I'd want to smoke over the weekend and through the next week.
But these days I order my smokes from Europe and it usually takes a couple of weeks at least to get them. Tho I did have one order that was at my doorstep 5 days after I had ordered it, that was pretty impressive all things considered. So now I try to order enough to last 6 months or so. That takes space, and keeping an eye on 3 or 4 different humidors is crazy, so, I got this one. Its identical (except for size) to my nicer 200 count humidor. I think this will serve me well.

It has two cedar trays and a cavernous vault below those.

Anything I wish to age, will obviously be in the bottom and I can smoke out of the trays. Next I need to get a Cigar Oasis for humidity control and I'll be set.
