Opinions on possible new humidor

[jrfoxx]

Looking at getting something a little larger than what I have that holds 85 cigar, packed to the brim.

So far, I'm looking at:

The Landmark 300ct with 2 accessories drawers $166 from Prestige Import Group, 3.5 stars from 30 ratings


The Tradition 200ct $203 from Quality Importers Trading, 4 stars from 38 ratings



Ravello 300ct with 2 accessories drawers $179 from Humidor Supreme (Quality Importers teading), 4 stars out of 84 ratings.



All information is from Amazon just for the sake of Ease and ratings. I may buy the one I decide on elsewhere that's reputable (any suggestions on reputable humidor sellers is appreciated too. I'm aware that The Landmark is sold by cheaphumidors. Com and Kayla is a great lady and active poster and is well known as being reputable)

I like the looks of The Tradition the best, and its plenty big and has sufficient dividers as I dont really use them, then I like The Ravello wood over the otherwise identical Labdmark, and do like the accessories drawers.

Decisions, decisions...

I personally never liked anything with drawers that are not sealed behind another door because possible humidity drops and spikes, but I defer to the queen @cheaphumidors on the subject.

But if you're looking for more space, have you looked into wineadors?

Too small. It's tiresome trying to maintain several humidors. Tupperdors hold better so not as hard but humidors take more work. If getting a humidor get 1 that can hold everything or wait.

According to Kayla, the drawers are entirely separate so have no effect on humidity.

I was actually looking at wineadors, but ultimately I like the look of wood better, the major difference in cost to set up a wineador the way I'd want it, and my room has a separate thermostat for heating and cooling and stays about 70deg +/- 5 degrees, so ultimately dont need that feature.

Plus, someone i trust who has used every type of storage method had some issues with multiple different brands of wineadors, and kinda put me off on them.

A 200 to 300ct would hold enough for me. Its just for a larger stash of daily smokes/singles. I have 2 74qt containers for boxes.

ETA: Also have about a dozen large and medium sized tupperdors in my closet that slowly became unnecessary over time, and just got rid of the last 3 into my cheap, leftover wooden humidor I have had for several years under my desk as I wasnt happy with how fast it was going through 72 or 75% Bevedas, just to maintain about 63%.

Really saturated the wood this time with distilled water several times over a couple weeks, then left closed until it reached 70% and put my 85 cigars in. Its held good at 62% with 4, 320 gram, 65% bovedas so far, but obviously this isnt an acceptable ultimate solution, just good enough in the meantime since I already had the distilled water and Bovedas.

I want a single item to hold a 100 to 125 singles/daily smokes, with some dividers for separation, which it would require multiple tupperdors to accomplish the same, and it's nice to have my desk back after being full of tupperdors, lol

For some reason they say 200 or 300 but in reality that would be cigarettes or pantatellas not actual robustos or toro size cigars

Yeah, I'm aware.
My current one was rated for like 100 or 125, if i remember correctly, but only holds 85 robustos and mainly, toros.

I'm happy with 100 to 125 robustos or toros, so any of them should meet or excede that i would think.

Currently really leaning towards the Ravello as I really like the looks of the wood, and 300ct rating should easily hold as many as I'm looking to, probably with room to spare, and I like the drawers for holding commonly used gear.

That said, the Tradition is gorgeous wood and a just a beautiful design, and it would think a 200ct rating will hold my 125 no problem, but with less room to spare than the 300cts which would give me more flexibility if I really need it in a pinch.

What do those of you with wooden humidors use for a % Boveda to achieve a steady rh of what %?

For example, do you use 72% Bovedas to achieve a steady rh of 65%? Boveda does reccomend 72% packs for wooden humidors.

Right now I have 4, 320gr 65% bovedas in mine to maintain a 60%rh.

Just wondering what others use and what steady rh does it give you

Thanks,
Sean

I just throw what ever boveda is charged up in there and have some one way beads. I dont worry about %. You can tell when its too high or low by the wood and feel of the cigars
