High Quality Small Desktop Humidors

The humidor market is an interesting one. There are a million and one cheap, low-end humidors all over the internet. I'm looking for the tier above that. Not necessarily expensive (in fact, hopefully not!), but nicer than the cheap stuff.

I'd like it to hold 10-50 cigars, be made of solid wood with Spanish cedar interior and have a heavy, nice lid that seals like a dream.

Any thoughts on where I should be looking? My ideal humi will be a rich, darkish brown wood, not particularly ornate and be somewhere between $50 and $150.

Any suggestions? Thanks in advance!

I saw one at an event - Rocky Patel branded - that seals with magnets. I think it was about a 100ct and was about 150.... do you have any brick and mortar shops around you that stock RP cigars and also carry humidors?

Not sure John. May have to look around. The one thing I have noticed in B&Ms is that humidors do not come cheap. With that said, a 100 count is quite a bit bigger than I'm looking for. I'm looking for something small that I can frequently rotate new sticks into. Grab them on the way out the door kind of thing.

Appreciate the response!

I have one of theirs, around $50 -- 8 years and no complains.

Thanks Beev. I will peruse that site again, it is definitely a go to. Are there no niche, boutique makers out there with above-average quality? Seems like I can't really find any without going to the level of Aristocrat or Avallo.

Solid wood is proving to be a problem. Everything on CheapHumidors is laminate type materials.

That's tough since hand crafted, solid wood humidors are always expensive, and usually not mass produced. Waxing Moon Humidors might be able to help you with what you want. Here is their link...
