I am looking for a new 100 count or so humi. My old 50 count leaks like a sieve and I'm tired of dealing with it. I would even be interested in a used one if it seals well. Any ideas where to start?
The "Milano" from cheaphumidors.com seems to get the thumbs up around here for the most part. I ordered one after reviewing this thread. Check it out and see what you think. It arrived in great shape, superfast, and they were very helpful and tolerant of my newb questions when I called to order.

A lot of times, you'll see the same humidor sold at various places under different names. Many of these humidors, including the Milano, are imported by the same company. If you are looking for a glass top, check out the importer's site and pick out one or two that you really like. Then, simply google search the humidor name or search the most popular humidor sites for the same product. Remember ... same humidor ... different names .... sometimes (but not always)!
Here is the "glass top" section of the importer's website, start here:

You'll notice that the first humidor listed is the new Milano Glass Top. Although, I have not found it online yet.
Here is a retail link:

Both of my 100 count humi's came from them, although I picked up one on ebay (sold by them) and the other from C-Bid. I have the Solona and the Matera (aka: The Tuscany, cherry wood). Got both of them for a combined price of $126, shipped!
Also notice that the Chelsea II from this link, is the same humidor as the Milano-Elegant from the first link.
I hope this information gives you a starting point and helps you to find the glass top you're looking for. The hunt is always fun!
what price range are you looking to stay in?Thanks for the wealth of info. I would also consider used models as I am a poor college kid on a budget. Is there a source for that? Thanks.
