Riverstyx Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 I'm sure this has been asked a million times, but I couldn't find it when I searched. Also, which ones would you steer clear of? I have absolutely no need of one (I have several larger storage units), but with my birthday and Christmas coming up...I'm thinking what the hell. Maybe I'll get one to keep out in public with a few dozen or more cigars in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slowsmoke Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 Good question. This is something I am interested to hear from others about. I like the idea of a nice, small "on deck" box. I currently use the Boveda large acrylic humidor. It is pretty (though perhaps not very classy) and has an excellent seal. Daniel Marshall, and Diamond Crown, also look nice, but I've yet to fondle either of them in person. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gamehawker Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 I have been using a 75 count desktop humidor from Michael Dixon (finished in Birdseye Maple) for over 21 years and have been very pleased with it. Here's a few pics of it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrightonCorgi Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 Coolest desktop humidors are from Hermes or Louis Vuitton 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rguinn Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 I love my two Daniel Marshall’s - Ambiente 125 matte black and a 15 count burl wood travel desktop. Both are excellent quality and maintain humidity well. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I recently acquired a monstrous 600 ct waxing moon humi. Still seasoning it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5thStarChicago Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 Elie Bleu if you have the coin and want the best finishes on earth. They are nothing short of spectacular. Their Casa Cubana series is amazing. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BG1165 Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 I’ve used Savoy. The may err on some cosmetic details but they’ve proved to be reliable. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xtcat9k Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 I have a Diamond Crown desktop that has done a great job for the last 5 years. I don't open it that much these days, but the 60 gram Boveda pack I have in it last 6+ months at a time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RDB Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 I’m very happy with my Adorini, and I like the ribbed interior which allows good air circulation. Runs a steady 62% RH with 65% Boveda installed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G891A using Tapatalk Nice Dunhills. I’ve been lucky with old Decature Industries humidors from eBay, all wood not like the later ones. Decent finish, nothing fancy but held rh very well. i have Tupperdores as well but there is just something about wood.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
earthson Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 Gentilli. Have had one for almost eight years now and there's just no bothering the RH - holds steady even when we leave the windows open for days on end. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbflash80 Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 I can tell you what NOT to get...Promethus. I have a 100ct rosewood model for my office and its been useless. The first two I ordered showed up with major flaws in the work. The third try seemed to be ok workmanship wise but after a year I still cant keep humidity where it needs to be because the seal is terrible...thus I have 5 or 6 crap cigars and no smoking for me at the office. It was 600 bucks so it wasnt cheap but it wasnt top of the line either... just not worth it anyway you slice it...should have went with the Daniel Marshall for 200 bucks more...bought one of those as a client gift and he really likes it... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unclepauly25 Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 I think Daniel Marshall has the best bang for your buck in terms of quality, also they have a seconds section on their website, might have a little flaw in the finish, but you get a really good discount. You can email them for a price list of current inventory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anything under that brand (related to cigars) has been poor quality in my experience 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeerPimp Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 I have been very happy with my Savoy. It came with 2 big humidifiers with the green foam. They are easy to open and remove the foam and replace with Heartfelt beads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smokum Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 I use my desktop for dryboxing. Its a Siglo 75 stick that I actually won on FOH many moons ago. Its a stunner. I forgot what the heck The contest was. I still have a custom rolled that I won from one of the premier rollers and of course I forgot the name of the roller. I should smoke that one. Was waiting for a special event. Maybe waking up on this side of the dirt is a special enough event. The other small unit my kids had made for our cabin up north. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
