Storing Individual Sticks Economically

[deltawhisky]

Hi Gentlemen.

I'm currently creating a wish list of sticks in preparation for my return to academic decadence in a couple of months' time.

I will be purchasing a medium number of individual sticks, mainly CCs that I have been reading up on / reading your reviews of, as well as a few Dominicans.

Just a quick question, then. Does anyone have any suggestions for a mini storage unit / travel humidor that is sufficient value for money? It only needs to hold ten or thereabouts at any one time.

And also -- what is the life expectancy of a stick such as the Siglo IV when not stored in a professional unit?

Many thanks for the help - a novice like myself needs all the help he can get.

Best, deltawhisky

What sort of price?

With most of the 'travel' style humidors it seems cheaper to buy a small desktop humi - I got one for a little under ?50 from CGars which has kept my stock in top condition for about six months now, the humidity stays pretty good for a week or more before more solution is needed and it's shown no signs of slowing down.

If you're penny pinching, you could always go for a humijar.

Hi delta

Ive got a 25/50 capacity mahogony desktop humidor with glass lid that you can have for ?50...?

That will look after you cigars for as long as you need...

Cheers, HabanoSy

Hi Gentlemen.

Thanks for the help. HabanoSY, the offer is a fantastic one, especially mahogany - and indeed if I need to store larger numbers in the near future, I will definitely get in contact.

Really, I'm in need of smaller numbers. Usually, I make a fortnightly trip to the local tobacconists, and buy more as I get through them.

I'll check humijars out - and will have a look round on CGars.

Thanks for the help.

With the box splits and deals on offer here go for the bigger one. In a few months you'll be kicking yourself. I only started a year ago and now have a 300 stick humi, although I don't have a travel humi........ yet !

As said before you can get a humijar in any household store ie biscuit jar with the sprung sealed lid thingy. Better look on the bay for ?20. simple'.

Yeah Delta, go for anything between a twenty-fifty stick desktop mate. From the sounds of thiings, you're smoking fairly regularly and anything smaller will not be cost effective in the mid to long term. Check the bay

I agree completely, I made that mistake myself and ended up forking out for a bigger one.

True, I see what you mean. But the previous post rings home as well - soon enough I might well need a bigger box! Cheers for the help guys.
