howdy folks,

i've been enjoying cigars for a few months now. almost always i go down to the local cigar shop and pick out what i want from their large room full of boxex in their humidor room. then head back out to the main lobby area and sit down on one of their couches or many old barber chairs in front of the TV and watch the college games/pro games/ golf whatever happens to be on. its been very enjoyable way to get out of the apartment, get away from the wife and go enjoy a game with some buddies here and there.

lately i've been picking up an extra 1 or 2 cigars for back home during the week if i know i have a rough week coming up that won't afford me the luxury of heading over after work. however, i don't have a humidor at my place to keep the waiting cigars in. on top of this, i've been thinking about ordering a bit larger quantity of cigars online to drop my cost basis down. they are not cheap around these parts! sheesh.

so what exactly should i be looking for in a humidor? there are a bunch on ebay but i can't really tell if any are better then the rest. i don't need a super large one, i was thinking either 25 or 50count would be plenty sufficient. could someone who's knowledgable in the area point me to a good place to buy a smaller humidor or give me some specifics on what to get or not to get, please.

thanks much,
~Jared

ps. i've been loving the Ashton's lately but i like a bit of variety, so i usually mix it up with Partagas', Rocky Patel's, and if the place has some of the Punch Rare Carojo's ill have one here or there. if anyone is really in love with a medium bodied brand let me know so i can give it a try!
