No, no, no, there are some down there. If you look real close you see some cello through the top shelf vents. I will never make that mistake again, lol!

Tupperdors are great, but certainly dont look as awesome as wood.
I friggin love cigars
There is nothing at all wrong with tupperdors, I have a few of them too.
Thanks everyone!

They certainly function perfectly, thats for sure. Just not as attractive as a wooden humidor. If i could afford ones that actually seal good and maintain rh, i would go with wood no question, but they are beyond my reach so tupperdors it is.
Not pretty, but you can't beat the 100% airtight seal and the price. I believe i have 9 Sistemas and 2, big 74qt Iris ones for holding boxes. Both function perfectly.
I just miss my huge cabinet humidor I had that was a china cabinet I converted into a cabinet humidor. Caulked every seam, added 1/4" Spanish Cedar lining, and weather stripped the door. Looked and worked great. Had class like cigars deserve to me.

Yeah, thats a good idea. Problem is i would need one that holds about 200, so i imagine they would still be pretty pricey if they were good ones.

@

for helping me get my 4th humidor, from her! I love it and always appreciate all you do for us Bums.
SALVADOR 250 COUNT BRAZILIAN ROSEWOOD CIGAR HUMIDOR
The pics don’t do the outside justice, the grain is beautiful.

Well crap, I forgot to lift up the top shelves and show how much space is in the bottom section. Sorry about that!
Very nice aesthetics on your humidor, Chris, and thanks for sharing. Bet it looks great on display in your house.

Off topic really quick, but-
That picture wouldnt happen to be of it sitting on your kitchen linoleum floor would it?
Looks identical to the linoleum in my parents kitchen that i grew up with
Back on topic, i totally missed that you got it from Kayla. Will have to do some browsing as she strikes me as someone who would have good, fair, prices vs many who would charge a ridiculous amount for that, and i would prefer to patronize a members business over a 3rd party for sure. Plus she has shown me a bit of generosity with a nice quad lighter and especially the last known remaining At Ease Navy cigar from her shops event that i now have on display with a few cigar/Navy crossover items, with Navy SEALs Foundation cigar on the way from someone on another forum to join it, that I had never heard of, probably because it was a 2019 limited edition.
Will have to work so Google-fu for more crossover items....

No, it’s on a counter in the kitchen, easier to play cigar Tetris in there, instead of in the bedroom where they usually are. The seals on all the wood humidors I have ( all from Kayla
@cheaphumidors
) not only passed the “paper test” but the paper gave out before the seal would let it go. Plus once they are seasoned, imho/experience the cedar swells slightly, increasing the seal. They all keep my RH stable, and my sticks happy

Nice.
Definitely sounds like it has an incredible seal.
Just browsed her site and yours, and about 50% of their stock is sold out, so i would think that means they are good, popular humidors.
Would love to have this LANDMARK 300 COUNT CHERRY CIGAR HUMIDOR
Eta: it's under serious consideration as I wood rather have a beautiful, large, wooden humidor than tupperdors or a wineador, which I have almost completely decided against based on
@Ljutic
's post in my thread about them, and if anyone knows about all types of cigar storage options, he definitely does, so I put a lot of stock in his opinions.
The Landmark would be able to hold just as many smokes as the 48l wineador I was considering, and looks gorgeous and classy, which is how I perceive cigars, and what causes me to store them in some attractive. I like 2 accessories drawers in it too.
Plus, coming from Kayla, I have every bit of confidence that it seals extremely well. I know she wouldn't sell leaky junk.
Will have to pick her brain about the Landmark on her return to the forum.

Nothing big, but definitely welcomed!
Vertigo by Lotus Cyclone Triple Torch Cigar Lighter & Butane
I got one of these for my first real cigar torch lighter, way back. It worked great, till I dropped it and it cracked. So I thought, let’s get a more expensive lighter. I’m sure there are some absolutely nice ones out there, but I have yet to find on as reliable as one of these. Grabbed a 3pk with butane, should be good to go for years now.

Great lighters. I use them, and have never had any problems with them, including dropping them on concrete.
