I think overall, price and service, cgars is the better uk online seller. Personally.

although for a while I've tried not to pay uk prices, tax etc, and have bought from abroad (in person). Cigars aren't cheap and if I can save ?100+, then I will.

As Simon said, I've bought all my boxes outside the UK and if you have the luxury of traveling for work, your up whiskers!

Hi mark
welcome to the site I am a new boy only been on this site for about 3 weeks I was in the same boat as you with regards to what size humidor to buy.i saw this same one on the eBay pictured above and asked the question and within a hour with all the good response from the site members I have bought this i have not yet received it due to the holidays.
here is the item number if that helps 251188619690 he has all different colours and you can make a offer on some of the prices.
hope this helps.
ps Bigger is Better that's what I've learned

I've got a small humi I could let you have as a starter but you will have to get PM status.

Hi Mark, welcome along...

I was in a similar position a few years ago... I was given a 20size and quickly filled it...

I moved onto this unit which you can find on eBay, in fact, another member recently just bought one...



And that can hold quite a few...



And the I bought another desktop in Cuba before settling for a b&q box for boxes.

Key advice is generally go bigger and I would agree!

Hope that helps,
N

Hi Starkey
Did the hydro gauge ever work?

I have a similar humidor, but the hygro is extraordinarily unreliable, so I added a digital one.

Think i'm going to go ahead and order "The Cube Dravus" from ebay as people suggested. Noticed the seller is away until the 17th of Jan, will keep having a look around until then.

Thanks for the offer though and thanks to everyone for all the advice.

Thanks Groundhog
I also have a digital one but I wanted to now if I could stick it on the draws behind the glass door?
As have not received my humidor yet just making plans.

[Bob123]

I have two humidors as above, gauges doesnot work :-)
I use Xikar crystals and solution it holds stable 67-68 RH according to calibrated digital hygrometer.
I have plate in each humidor with crystals in bottom drawer

Cool Bob123
can you fit the digital hygrometer on the draws with enough room to close the door?

[Bob123]

I have it actually inside drawer, just move it around to check humidity, it is 68 in bottom and 67 in top drawer. So I have Cubans on top and rest of cigars (NCC) in the middle.
I have the humidors few years and they work and look perfect
(i have also small walk in by the office, so in home I have just to go cigars)

Yes there is is plenty of room behind the glass for your gauge. My digital is 4% higher than actual. But my analogue reads 40s and 50s haha
