Good advice from all the above. For me, smoking is seasonal pretty much. I buy and stock up during the winter when all the promos and sales are out and smoke from spring to fall since I dont smoke in the house. That doesnt mean I dont buy all year round on the internet and my local stores. But this way, some of the smokes can age and I have stock to smoke. Do I have more than I can smoke in a "season'? Sure do cause like everybody I cant resist looking at the new stuff that comes out every year. The main thing is find what you like, experiment once in a while and like others have cautioned, dont over extend your budget. Relax and enjoy, the slope has got us all

Bummin' Around
While everyone is talking "cooler", let me suggest "Snapware". I've just recently outgrown 4 desktop humidors of various sizes, and have expanded into creating 3 new "Tupperdors" - but in my case, instead of Tupperware, the name brand is Snapware. There is a gasket on this brand that seals better than any wooden humidor. I toss in 2 Boveda packs (65rh) and I'm set for a few months.
Advantages:
SIZE - These ones will hold about 40-50 cigars, but you can get the size that fits your predicament the best. Most coolers begin at a fairly large size, which can create a problem with too much space (your RH is likely to rollercoaster more than in a smaller space).
SEAL - The gasket creates a virtual air-tight compartment. Coolers and wooden humidors are going to leak a bit more comparatively.
MAINTENANCE - Two Boveda packs will drive your RH for several months, lasting longer in Snapware than they do in a typical humidor setting. And your RH reading should be spot-on. In fact, I'm comfortable now not having a digital hygrometer in each one since the Boveda packs are so accurate and dependable.
CREATION - I get several sheets of Spanish Cedar from my local B&M to line the bottom and the walls, cut them to size, put in my cigars and Bovedas, and I'm set. VERY easy to get it up and running.
