Cigar Weekly

Herfin Bigdog · 07-13-2004, 11:11 AM

When my company hires persons referred by current employees, if they make it through the 90 day "trial-period" the referring employee will receive a nice bonus...and I'm thinking cabinet style humidor.

I would like to reduce my numerous 'dors of varying shapes and sizes. I was looking at the Antietam or Manassas humi's as possible purchases. I like the Manassas because it is significantly larger than the Antietam and I have well over 500 cigars (probably closer to 1000) both loose and in their original boxes.
The reports I've read on both of these cabinet 'dors have been very good.

Anyone have an estimate of how many smokes their Antietam or Manassas will store?

This enquiring BOTL wants to know.

I took out the shelves and fit about 20 boxes, very tightly.

The Antietam, that is.

I'll be the first to say it...have you thought about an Aristocrat?

I saw the pic's of your Antietam. That's partially why I am thinking about the Manassas.

Aristocrat? I think that might be more than I can afford...bonus or not.

The bigger, the better - Manassas. I have a Antietam and it's great thus far

Didn't the CSA win both of those battles?

I have an antietam and have been very happy with it. I estimate it will hold roughly 700-800 cigars(with the shelves pulled out) - My humidty with a cigar oasis plus is holding at 70% no problems, and the smell of the cedar and the cigars everytime I open it up is amazing. Great product.

I have an Antietam, bought it before the Manassas came out. It works perfectly. Go for the bigger, you won't regret it

I also have an Antietam. It has worked flawlessly so far but like others have said, go bigger with the Mannasas if ya can.

I was looking at both of those also. I decided on try the Kenmore wine cooler for $150 so the wife can store her stash in there too.

I personally would go with the larger Manassas - well, because that's where I was born

AW CRAP!

Someone PM'ed me and smartened me up to the Avallo 1200. That is also a pretty looking endtabledor.

Oh well...I have over 2 months before I receive any bonus money. I will have plenty of time to look at all the angles in order to make an informed decision.
