As you can see, we have a variety, So starting from the top left and going American reading style:
 |  |
1. The Top Left Humi is an 80 Stick humidor that is rather tempermental for some reason, we've been trying everything and it just seems like its not getting a good seal somewhere, but damned if we can figure out where.

2. Top right is a 50 Stick humi that we bought at TJ Max for 20 bucks! great buy, and it has an excellent seal, and comes with a large gardeners foam puck, after we cured it and calibrated the Hygro, it has kept a perfect 68% humidity, of all the places to find a Humi, TJ Max Did It Right! Something I have noticed, however, is the glue that holds the velcro for the puck seems to come loose after its been humidified for a while, dunno what kind of glue they used, but we will prolly end up just glueing the velcro back on and going from there.

3. Middle, Ah, the Beast, this is a Limited edition 200 stick La Grande by Humidor Supreme, This is more than likely the best Humidor I Personally have ever owned, Sad that they stopped making them, this was the one that had run up to 70% and had caused the cigars to start to burst. The solution? Take half the pucks out, and it comes down to 65%, after a couple days at that humidity the cigars seem to have recovered nicely and are doing fine, luckily its not hot enough out here yet for tobacco beetles to hatch, so all is well. This thing has Four separately humidified compartments, five if you count the shelf, each of the dividers has two gardeners foam pucks ( which explains why it was at 70%, and also proves that I wasn't firing on all cylinders at the time xD ) Currently its sitting at about half capacity, as far as cigars go, so we'll see how well it handles as time goes on.

4. Bottom Left, Ah, my little baby, this is a noname 10 stick humidor, came with a single gardeners foam puck, and is the oldest one out the the group, it was my first humidor, and I've abused it in ways that humidors shouldn't be abused, but it still keeps a pretty decent seal, and does pretty well in a pinch if i need to Offload some cigars in case of an emergency. couldnt tell you what humidity it keeps at, never put a hygrometer in it, but I've never had a problem with it.

5. Bottom Center, The guest Humidor, this is a Noventa Torano box turned Humi, humidified with a single gel puck, this is a decent 25 stick humidor, had a hygro in it for a short time and it kept a respectable 63% humidity, so not bad if your just taking cigars out of the main humidor and then putting them back after the event. I wouldn't recommend using this as your main humidor, due to the fact that it doesn't have a sealing lip, so it doesn't keep the best of pressure, but either way, great guest humi.

6. Bottom Right, Another TJ Max special! this is a 20 stick humidor, gets a good seal, and uses a large gardeners foam puck, and has the same issue with the velcro as its big brother the 50 stick, prolly going to fix it the same way. After we cured it, it seemed like whatever cigar was in there attracted a playdo smell, I'm not sure if its the lacquer smell coming in through the wood or what, but I'm going to toss some tobacco in there so that the whole thing will get the right scent.
As you can see, we have quite the collection, and have been working on the cigar part of it for several years, with any luck, we'll be filling these suckers up and getting ya'll reviews in no time.
Happy Smokes,
CB
