What was your first Humidor

[Land Rover]

My first, is a Reed & Barton Diamond Crown Wellington. This one is my pride and Joy. I will always have it. Since the first one, i have 2 additional. Use to have 4 additional, but i sold 2 and built a coolerdor.

Mine was a Daniel Marshall 20th Anniversary Treasure Chest.
Limited to 200 made, I was happy to find one after it received a very favorable review in CA.
I loved it so much that I bought a second one (I have #009 and #010)!

...and, hell yes, I still have 'em!

mine was a 75 count I got from some online store (forgot what one - think cheaphumidors.com? go figure...) that SUCKED. Seal was very weak...

Got rid of it with a very short period of time (month or two I think?) and still have the replacement today. Don't know the brand, but it is a quality 'dor. Great seal, nice workmanship and quality parts. But the new coolidor ROCKS!!!

50 ct. Thompsons from an add in a magazine :blush: $20 and I still got it :0

Those Daniel Marshall's are sweet Puff :thumbs:

Started with that one:

Still have it full of the good stuff (that's an older picture)/

Then, I got this:

It too is now full. The left side is full of 3 more boxes than shown. I can't fit anything else in it. Trying to decide whether to get another Barrister to put on top of that (most likely) or build a coolidor (less likely). My wife tolerates my humis because they look nice...

1st was a Thimpson's 50 ct. desktop humi. That lasted about 4 weeks then I decided to make a humi out of a small dorm fridge. Now I have 2 of the fridges and a 125 ct desktop cabinet. Currently my Thompson's is awaiting a new owner and he should have it full in about a month.

First humidor (still my only humidor) 50 count from cheaphumidors.com. Was bought as a gift for me and has served me very well. Though since joining up here i have had to add a tupper'dor to my collection .

My first (and only) is a Thompson Barrel Humi (125 stick).
Came with 100 sticks (50 were real dog rockets!).
Keep it full and no humidification problems.
No plans to expand (smoke 8-10 per week), but you never know!

My first humi was a Knob Creek promotional 100 count humi. I love it. I will probably never get rid of it. It is a plain dark wood box with "Knob Creek small batch bourbon" fire branded on top.

First one was a little 25 count humi from C.I. Cute, but I quickly realized that it wasn't nearly big enough.....:whistling: So, along came a "Milano" from CheapHumidors.com (which I still think is an excellent starter humi once you get them seasoned, BTW). Much better......but, dammit....still not enough storage...!! So, a 30 Qt cooler quickly came into play.

...I just checked; it's almost full, too....you can see where this is going....

65% beads from Viper / Heartfelt keep them all under control (finally). Can't recommend the beads enough.

I've decided that I will for sure invest in a really fine humi someday but for now I will watch, smoke, listen and learn a bit....

Yep, it was the plastic jar humidor! I keep my pipe tobacco in it now.

My first was a 25-count humi from Cuban Crafters. I recently passed it on to a local newb who's just getting into cigars.

 

[cigardawg]

Mine was a 50 count humidor that was sold at the Bombay Co. one X-mas. Nice looking humidor, but the seal really sucks. Still have it, though.

 

[junkman_56]

My first humi was the Hampton by Craftsman's Bench.
A nice 25 ct humidor, which I still have.

 

[psyktek]

First was a Thompson's desktop. It was ok for awhile and then the seal failed (don't know why; warpage?). Next was a 75 ct. CA from a local Tinder Box; never had a good seal, but I still have 'em both.(?)

Then a Milano, now devoted exclusively to Habanos, then a 600 ct.. Progressively e coolers (48 and 2 54's), and now the 153 Igloo.



I think I have a problem...... :sign: :sign:

My first one was a small one that my dad used to use back in the 1960's. I put some new spanish cedar in it and a modern humidifier sometime in the mid 1990's.

I still have it but I don't use it anymore.

My first humidor is a Vicksburg and I love it. My second one is a litle burl something or another I got in a sampler from holts and it actually works quite well. Looking at coolers and stuff right now I'm actually considering just buying 2 150's so that when the first one gets full I can just go right ahead and start on the second one.

Tupperware lined with cedar from cigar boxes.
