I might be in the market for another humi, looking for a ~300 count to keep some overflow sticks at the office, if the price is right. Has anyone bought a humi from Cbid? Any advice?

tia!

Stay away from the footlocker unless your handy with weatherstripping and cinder blocks.

in general you "get what you pay for" especially with low end humidors. A $30 humi isn't going to be very good no matter where it comes from or what you put in it. At the $100 price point you can get something decent that will store your smokes safely, and for $500 you can find a true quality unit that will allow you "manage" the humidity and actually control the humidty levels down to a few percentage points.

Why screw around with Cbid? Just order the Havana Foot Locker from Cigars International for $150 and be done with it. Mine works great. It used to reside in the office but it followed me home one night last winter. It will hold several boxes with ease.

I have and was happy with both the price I got and the quality. It was for a friend and she says it is holding humidity quite well.

It took a bit of patience and knowing your limit, but after 3x getting outbid, we finally got the one she wanted at the price she set.
