I decided that I was totally out of room. Accumulating cigars faster than I can smoke them. I spoke with Bob (very nice person to deal with) and placed my order. Now the wait begins and I am on hold for more cigar purchases until I recieve it. I have 2 desk top humidors now, but I find that ageing cigars definitly requires more room.
 
Congrats! Nice to have one stop storage. How long did he say it would take before you got it in?
 
Bob said it should be about 8 weeks from time ordered. I have about 150-200 cigars for the drawer - but can't wait to season humidor so I can start to buy and age some boxes. I will post pictures when I receive my end table then after I figure out how to post pictures on the forum!
 
My understanding is that they are excellent quality. I have never actually seen one, but they get great reviews on many forums. Price is relative I guess, take a look at Bobs website. I will let you know what I think about the quality - I ordered mine on 10/11/11 so it shouldn't be to much longer.
 
Bob's humidors are well made. His designs are well thought out. Are they the best available?
No. I would say they are on the "knee" of a price to performance ratio curve. That position is where I typically try to buy.
I.e., you've reached the point where the gains in the quality to cost ratio have become much more negligible.

He uses Banded and Veneered High Quality MDF which does not warp from the humidity.
He also use some solid hardwoods where necessary, and premium Hardware and cedar.
Craftsmanship is quite good. Upon inspection, it is evident that the final product is the result of many manufacturing steps.
You pay a little more than the imports, but I suspect that these will last longer.

Be advised that these are hand made, and that they are still subject to the occasional piece that may display something less than perfection.
That said, Bob is an honest perfectionist, and truthful when he guarantees his quality.
He is also very busy with turn arounds that can be longer than his initial estimate.
This is just a fact of business, working many contracts, manpower, etc.

This is still a luxury item.
As a famous Humidor craftsman said, anything beyond a cooler is a luxury.
