I've ordered from them twice and they have had excellent customer service both times....a good company IMHO.
But you should have posted before you ordered...so I could have told you to GO BIGGER!!!! :r

Very nice.
I bought my first humi from them and never had a problem.
Just go as big as you can afford. You will be happy you did later.

i know for a FACT that you are going to out grow that thing in less than a month. i am already looking to buy my fourth humi and i have only be collecting for about 3 months.
I outgrew my humidor in about a month also. I just got a 150 count box that I think will last me about another 6 months until I buy another to suppliment my first and second humidors. When does it all stop????:w

1st time checking out their site. Their 50-75 count Glass "Master" looked mighty nice. Been looking for a small Humi.
And I know big is better but depends on what your using it for. Already have an 18 & 28 bottle Edgestar + an Igloo so smaller can also be good.

:tpd: Very nice looking box. Wish you would have asked before buying because I would have suggested that you step up to a larger box. Let us know when you are about to fill up your first one and we can give you advice on where to look for a second, or an alternative. About this time last year, I thought that my 75-100 stick box was all that I would need as well, but now I have filled up a 500ct Vicksburg and am thinking about building a coolerdor for long term storage.
Good luck.

Looks like a real nice humi. It should keep the typical cigar smoker in good shape for a long time.
Don't listen to all of these gorillas tempting you to purchase a much larger, and more expensive humidor, understand that most of these folks have stock in humidor companies and are a greedy lot. Alot of them drink to excess too.:al
All you have to do to avoid falling into their evil trap is to throw away your computer and quit reading your mail. And pray for them for they know not what they do.:confused:
Do not worry about the rest of us victims as we wander in the dark jungle in confused bliss:w :al while you ponder the aquisition of an Aristocrat with an electronic humidification and temperature control system, beautifying your living room brimming with the finest of cigars.:D

From one noob to another thats a nice looking humi man! :)
That is a real nice looking humi but I would suggest looking to see if it comes in an extra large version and getting it supersized. :2

A nice looking humidor. It will fill up very fast. My first one was a 300 count, and it filled up too quickly!

The first Humi I orderd was similar to yours on Ebay: http://cgi.ebay.com/120-ct-UNIQUE-CIGAR-HUMIDOR-CLEAR-TOP-AND-FRONT-VIEW_W0QQitemZ270030951334QQihZ017QQcategoryZ11675 QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
It looks similar, and I would be lucky to maybe get 45 Cigars in there. Just fyi. I ended up making a few coolerdors for all the excess orders.

:tpd: what he said after being on this message board for about 2 months my little desk top was toast. Bigger is ALWAYS better when it comes to humis. Not trying to sell you or anything but for a few bucks more you could get a vicksburg. I love mine, and my friends do too they are VERY jealous.

Very nice looking humidor – a lot nicer than my first. The only thing I would suggest is buying a digital hygrometer and don’t let your excitement keep you from properly seasoning it, follow the instructions it comes with or find some advice on here about setting it up for the first time. Don’t rush it.
These guys are right you will outgrow it in no time, I started with a little 25 – 30 count and I now have 4 that hold 100+ each, oasis humidifiers, you get the idea. Enjoy the obsession.

I've also purchased from this vendor and they are very professional.
I like the glass top humidors because you can always sneak a peek without opening it all the time. Show us how it looks when you fill it. Enjoy!

Welcome to our hobby and our obsession. Could not be happier to see that you've ordered from a very nice place -- you have a very nice humidor comming. Take the advice and season it well before you load it with more sticks.:rolleyes:

I too purchased a "large" glass top desktop humi some time back and I like it a lot. When it was filled (years before I thought it possible) I assembled a coolerdor. The glass top humi still holds what I draw from day in and day out. Season carefully and enjoy. :)

Yea, I second all of these folks saying bigger = better. The 150 count thing is pretty misleading. I got about 180 cigars in my "500 count" Vicksburg right now and it's completely full. Granted if I really tried to optimize it and didn't have actual boxes with cigars sitting in there I could squeeze a lot more room out of it but that wouldn't be all that practical. I orignally wanted to go with a small 100 counter but after that fell through I listened to the advice of the folks here and went with the biggest thing I could. Been pretty happy with that choice.

I have 5 humidors, one still in use. Go with a big cooler. They are pretty inexpensive and in the long run will save you money.

very nice looking humidor. definitely a good size for a beginner, though i'm sure once you spend some time on here, you'll have that puppy full ! congrats :)
plus that will look quite nice in your living room or office :)

Very nice looking humi. I think you will like the drawers. They come in handy when you start out trying different sticks. It helps to sort them out.
Even if you get other storage space it is nice to have something out on a table with your favorite smokes.
I'd say you got a good deal for a 150 count Humi...now you gotta fill it up! :D
