After randomly looking over craigslist the other day I came across a humidor for sale. The deal was too good so I had to buy it. It might leak. It might be completely useless. It might just look pretty in this corner of my house.
Side is marked as a JC Newman Cigars Display Humidor.

There's a large tray in the bottom. I'm using that now just to season it since the last owner had it dry for quite some time. I may just throw a couple pounds of beads in the bottom. I'm considering the cigar oasis route as well if I can get it for the right price on cbid.

i would go with something active in case it doesnt seal tight. check the glass, i have one that has glass on the sides and doors and that was a source of some minor leaks.
Nice try MF'r!

Nice score! Hopefully it doesn't leak much at all, if it does it shouldn't be too hard to fix.

Nice score congrats! I would bet you are going to need active humidification with the size and glass doors.

My advice, since it happened to me & I had to move mine, make sure sun doesn't hit it during the entire day. I was good for all but early morning on mine BUT it got WARM during that early morning. Found a non-sunny place for it to rest & all has been good.
Either way...nice score!
I use active humidification in mine. I use two of the Hydra LG Humidifiers. Got them on cigarbid for half price. I swapped out the foam for some different beads that just hold moisture & evaporate. It's worked for me since 2010.
