Bum Humi advice

[StogBog]

Hi Guys!

I've been thinking about buying a humidor after smoking a few cigars so I don't have to keep going to the store haha Im lazy.I don't really know much about them or want to waste my money on a shitty one.

I am worried that I will get one that is not the right size then I will end up having to buy another one because I don't really know what to look for and I am new to this.

Saw some options compared on this site and I am leaning towards the Case Elegance one.

I have a budget of $150 and I still need to get a decent cutter! Does anyone have any recommendations?

Ideally something that I can't mess up lol, something simple.

Thanks for the help

No matter what you buy it won't be big enough.
Unless you want something pretty on your desk or table, the cost effective solution is a larger Tupperware. Aka tupperdore.

It will never be big enough! I would make sure that you spend money on a good cutter first. A terrible cut will ruin you experience when the cigar starts coming apart because it mangled the cap. Once you have a really good cutter, you'll never look back. Josh's advice of a tupperdor is great. Get a big piece of tupperware and some Bovedas and use that for now. Just keep it out of direct sunlight to help manage temp and humidity swings.

Honestly, I've never heard of them. I always try to stick to Xikar, Colibri or Palio for my cutters.

Amazon has the Audew 150 count climate controlled humi for $198 and a $40 coupon that can be applied at checkout. It’s a couple bucks above your budget but my recommendation would be this or go the Tupperdor route.

You might reach out to member Cheaphumidors aka Kayla and see what she would recommend.

What is best for you will depend on what area of the country you live and its climate.

A great place to start out is with a Tupperware container and using Boveda packs for humidity control. 65% Bovedas is a great place to start and its cheap. $20-$25 and it will keep your cigars without worry. As you learn more you can get something more pleasing.

A word of advice, don't go buying boxes or even 5'ers of cigars until you really learn what you like. It takes time for your pallete to develop and you don't want to end up with a bunch of cigars you really have no desire to smoke a year or two from now. Limit your purchases to 1 or 2 like cigars until you grow in the hobby.

I will be picking up a tupperware along https://puffclassics.com/megacra-cedar-and-leather.../ just to give them both a try.
As for buying cigars that usually what I do now Ill buy a few and try them out then go from there.
Thank you for your advice
