Why not just get one of these around $150 then buy a pound of Heartfelt beads and a few bovedas. Holds 250, will run you under $200 and will also control the temperature for you. FYI will not raise the temperature tho, only lower.
Lets start before Cubans, and I'll assume you know nothing about cigars and just start from the beginning.
Okay, as far as humidors go, there are a bunch of options. The quickest and easiest way is to buy a tupperware container that seals well and a few boveda packets (you can get either on amazon). I'd recommend 65% if you're using a "tupperdor" (69% for a wooden humidor...of course depending on the climate where you live etc...). Rough rule of thumb is to use one 60 gram packets for every 25 cigars the container can fit. We'll get more into wood humidors later.
The next thing you'll want to have is a digital hygrometer. You can snag one for 15-20 bucks on amazon. If you're using multiple tupperdors, I wouldn't worry about having one in each, just switch the meter to a different container every week or so to make sure they're staying good. With boveda packets, you shouldn't have a problem. Anyway, when you get your hygrometer, you want to calibrate it. The packaging or instructions may say that it is calibrated at the factory and does not need to be tested. Ignore that. Get a bottle cap, fill it about 2/3 up with table salt, and a few drops of water. Put the cap in an airtight container (a zip lock bag will do) with the hygrometer. Wait a day, and see what the hygrometer says. If it says 75%, you're good. If it doesn't, adjust it until it does, and then leave it in the bag a few more hours to make sure it stays there. You will find that you may develop your own preference for the Relative Humidity (RH) of your cigars, but it your container is reading in the mid sixties to the low seventies, you're around where you want to be. Keep an eye on the temperature, too. I like to keep mine below 70 degrees F. If they get into the high seventies, your cigars may literally begin hatching beetles.
Now onto wooden humidors: these are much more of a pain in the ass than tupperdors, in terms of setting it up. As far as a specific model, there are a ton and it depends on too many things to specify from the information you gave. Personally, I'd recommend a humidor that can hold more cigars than you plan on needing. My first humidor holds fifty cigars. I now have another 25 count (although, that was free and I didn't need it until I figured "fuck it, might as well fill it"), a 100 count, and two tupperdors. So as far as picking one out, I'd recommend again going bigger than you think you need, make sure it is at least lined with spanish cedar, and just check reviews to see how it seals. Every humidor will have bad reviews because a lot of people don't know how to season them, so look for reviews from people who seem to know what they're doing. And I'd personally stay away from anything with a glass top, it's just another place it can lose a seal.
Speaking of seasoning, you have to season a wooden humidor, which means to sort of saturate the wood to the correct humidity level. If you don't, the wood will eat up the humidity being released by your humidifying thingamajig instead of it being all for your sticks. There's a couple ways to do this: you can get distilled water (or a premade solution of distilled water and propylene glycol, it really doesn't matter) and wipe the wood down with it, with a barely damp cloth or sponge. If you get the wood too wet, it will warp and the humidor won't seal. Then leave a bowl or shot glass filled with the distilled water in the humidor and let it sit a few days. Note that the water being distilled is not optional, do not use any other water, no tap, no spring water. Only distilled water. You want nothing in the humidor except spanish cedar, cigars, and moisture.
The easier way to season a humidor is to buy boveda seasoning packets. They regulate the environment in the humidor to 84%. Buy the same amount you'd need if they were regular bovedas, one per 25 cigar capacity. Put them in the humidor, close the humidor, come back 14 days later and take the packets out. Replace them with (I'd recommend) 69% packets. Put cigars in over the course of a few days (you don't want to add them all at once, it will swing RH levels).
I'd recommend this for a tupperdor, in the largest size:

I have this humidor, I like it:

I also have this smaller humidor which I'm still seasoning, but it seems to seal well enough:

Packets to regulate RH (pick whatever RH you'd prefer, I like 69 for wood and 65 for tupperdor):

Someone let me know if I missed anything.
Edit: I didn't mention beads, the "soak this weird thing in distilled water" humidifier or kitty litter because I really don't think there's a good reason to steer someone towards them, but I really haven't ever used any of it so if someone wants to add something about those, please do.
Hey! I'll offer up some noob advice since I just started a couple months ago myself and had these same questions. Firstly, welcome to the sub and to the cigar world in general. Hopefully you'll really enjoy your first few smokes and become a BOTL (brother of the leaf)! So here's the good news - a "starter kit" like you are asking about is actually so good that it can be a "lifetime kit." Many people here who have been in to cigars for many years still use this system. A humidor is very nice, but the cheaper ones aren't that great, and even the more expensive ones are truly not necessary. You can keep cigars in just as good condition in the setup I'm about to tell you as any that are kept in expensive humidors, generally. So what you want is nicknamed a tupperdor. Just like it sounds, it's tupperware made to be a humidor. The key is that it has to be airtight. So your basic glad snap lid things aren't usually good enough, but the ones that are airtight are still cheap, they just have snap tight latches and usually a rubber seal around the lip. This one is what I am currently using. Actually many people here use it as well. If you scroll down on that page you will see the "other people bought" suggestions are for a Spanish cedar cigar tray and a digital hygrometer, so you can see many people buy these for this purpose. [This is another option as well.] (https://www.amazon.com/Prestige-Group-AJ25-Acrylic-Humidifier/dp/B00J21X9IS/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1501388463&sr=8-2&keywords=acrylic+cigar) This one has the cedar lining in it already but holds fewer cigars and displays differently,
your call. Then you will need a humidity pack like this one from Boveda. They are cheap and this size works for up to 25 cigars I think. Anyway, you simply put it inside the tupperdor with your cigars and close the lid, that's it! The Boveda packs will maintain the humidity int he box at 69%. There are other levels you can get like 72%, and that's more of a personal preference I think. I found that 69% was very common so I went with that and it's been working well for me so far. Also, you don't actually NEED the cedar tray, but it does have some benefits for long term storage of cigars. I actually grabbed some thin Spanish cedar sheets out of a used cigar box and laid them on the bottom of my box for now. Works fine. As for the hygrometer, it's also not required for your needs. I still don't have one. The Boveda packs do their job very reliably. So there you have it, an inexpensive and very reliable way to store cigars for the short term while you test out the cigar world, and it will work long term if you like it and decide to keep smoking. Certainly others with more experience than me will chime in here if I made a mistake or three, this sub community is pretty great. Anyway, enjoy and if you have more questions fire away!
Seems like a herfador is your best bet. Foam padding and a good seal. Buy a small boveda pack to go with it and he will be pretty much set!
You can also get a sampler set, cigars and herfador from cigars international, cheap humidors, or famous smokes. Cheap cigars though. So it might be better to build your own sampler. Unless there is one with sticks he likes.

I think it’s the boveda acrylic humidor which is just a really expensive tupperdor

Yeah...your best option would be a tupperdore.
You can get some nice looking tupperdore's these days. Heck, you can go "fancy" air tight container such as https://www.walmart.com/ip/Cuisinox-Air-Tight-45-7-qt-Kitchen-Canister/16408727
Or go for the classic https://www.amazon.com/Prestige-Group-AJ25-Acrylic-Humidifier/dp/B00J21X9IS/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1538662467&sr=8-3&keywords=plastic+humidor which is $12, probably one of the easiest/cheapest solutions.
That way you can still place them near your booze and have a nice presentation.
​
Tupperdore doesn't need to be ugly lunch box tupperwear container. ANYTHING that is airtight can be used in theory.
​
Also, once you have the tupperdore, get yourself 2 or 3 65% Bovedas and you will have 99 problems, but cigar humidification won't be one.
Do a tupperdor!

Under $30 for one of the most effective and low maintenance setups you're gonna find. Holds 50 cigars easily.
Use either the 65% or 69% (boveda recommends 69% for tupperdors) packs and you're good to go. 2 60g packs will be more than sufficient for this container.
Some of the most blueneck people you'll ever meet in your life use tupperdores. I would not suggest you use that hygrometer as it has more of an household/environmental application and is likely going to take up way too much room in any humidor. You want something like this Caliber IV or this HygroSet II.
Also, this is the exact acrylic jar started my collection with and it worked great until I ran out of room. Now I use it for incoming/quarantine purposes. I suggest you do what I did and lose the humidifier puck it comes with and use a couple 65% Boveda packs instead.
Try these trays. I just made one of these setups.

Thats from a couple months ago so some things have changed but its the same idea. This is the newair 300 model and i got it through amazon. In terms of set up I bought a 4 pack of 84% boveda packs and set them through out the humidor and let them set for almost a week. After that I put 3 320 gram 65% bovedas on the shelves and let it sit over night. After that I filled it up and wasnt too happy with the humidity until I plugged the drain hole. After that it sits at a perfect 62-65% with no maintenance. Only add ons id recommend is the 320 bovedas and maybe some extra lights if you want to be fancy. One thing you should know is that after I got it set up my frequency of buying full boxes jumped by 500% lol.
Amazon has the newair cc100h for $205 today--heating and cooling. I know there are other brands that cost less, but worth a look for anyone looking at newair.

I use this as a humidor. It's been doing me fine so far, no complaints. It's about the same price as a comparable tupperdor, but I'd say it looks better on a shelf than a tupperdor.
This one's $33 dollars out of your price range, but it's one of the cheaper, ready-to-go options out there. You could always look for a plain wine fridge with no cedar and he could store boxes in there. Either way you go, you'll want a thermoelectric unit rather than a condenser unit. Condensers will remove humidity, not what you want.
I had never thought of that before saturday. I have this travel humidor in my car. After I got a cigar out I closed it so that the resulting whoosh of air hit me right in the face. The first thing I thought was "That smelled like pussy." Then I started talking about the cigar to Sun, and I held it under her nose to smell it. She immediately said "It smerr rike your dick." I died laughing.
Whynter 2.5 cf Model
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00KO90H6Y/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1
It has decent reviews and I have to say it's been fantastic at holding the humidity once I had it set up. It has a temp control on it but I never plug it in. The compressor when lowering the temp was also lowering the humidity and you can't set it above 69 I think. I prefer a 72-75 temp with 70-75% humidity. Left it unplugged with my Oasis plugged in running at 73%.
I'm new to cigars too, and have done some research on it. Really, to start, there are some very well rated humidors on Amazon made of cedar. Some have glass tops too and they look very nice all while falling around $25-$30. I'm picking on up myself soon, likely this one.
I plan to keep around 3-5 cigars in it at a time just to see how it works, and the fact I don't plan on smoking them too often. I'm still exploring cigars and need to try many to see what I like.
Hi - New here. I just ordered the 1.2 cubic foot Whynter today and have read that you need to plug the drain tube to help control the humidity. Do you have it plugged on this unit and does anyone think it should not be plugged?
Amazon has the smaller one today for $175. https://www.amazon.com/Whynter-CHC-120S-Stainless-250-Cigar-Humidor/dp/B00KO95RVO/ref=zg_bs_10342478011_18?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=MJ4PHPRCXJEE3FPSHCTA
I had Best Buy price match, which I did not know they would do for online products, but they happily did. (I don't work for Amazon or Best Buy) I do like cigars though!
This If you're already outgrowing your humidor just skip a step and grab this or something like it. It's inevitable...
if its this it looks pretty cool, and good reviews too. Something to research now, thanks!

Not the Newair, but it is still a good option.
I own this wood box and a few of these small plastic containers then four of these big boys.
They all work great. The tuppadores of course, but that wood box seals up very well.
Just last week, I got the Newair cc-100 that holds "250". Cleaned it, aired out the plastic smell (which wasn't that bad).
Pros:
Cons:
I did have to plug the drain hole, but that was easy. I think most of the negative Amazon reviews are from people that didn't know what to do with it and would have complained if the got a huge one with all the bells and whistles.
I bought this a couple weeks before going to Havana to season. So far it is an A+ and has even brought some older ones' wrappers back to life. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07BB62FV7/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Nice taste in sticks btw
I bought a "Cigar Caddy" 5-stick travel case (amazon) 5 months ago and have been satisfied with the purchase. It is a little small and won't fit 5 bigger-gauge sticks, but it is just wide enough to fit a few NUBs vertically on one end.
Bonus, I got to handle it and a friends OtterBox dry box at the same time, and can confirm they come off the same assembly line. Only the sticker was different. This is also the same product as the "Herf-a-Dor" seen here.
If you are really rough on them, maybe re-purpose a Pelican like this one?
Acrylic. Sorry. Its those like you see at golf courses with about 50 sticks in them. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00YHT1UFY?psc=1
This is an example. Like a tupperdor, but nice looking but more expensive.
I know you said you want to buy it in person but it's also available on Amazon Canada: https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B00N1XAVDY/
Link to humidor.
https://www.amazon.com/Whynter-CHC-251S-Stainless-400-Cigar-Humidor/dp/B00KO90H6Y
Oh sure. Basically just look for a good deal (try the dollar bill test- put a dollar bill in the seal and put the lid down. If you pull the dollar it should be hard to pull out)
You can always try cheap humidor.com, they tend to do the job well enough.
Also there is a beginner humidor someone offered a few freebies for peeps to review and they find it's pretty good for the price. It's on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B072NZK9K4
I use a travel humidor. My wife calls it my purse, even though it's an actual plastic box with a handle. Basically this, but an older model with only 2 rows of 4 slot foam inserts
EDIT: It's also water proof. Not like "take it in scuba diving" waterproof, but if it's closed, and the vent screw is secure, rain won't get in it. It has a rubber seal around the lid.
The NewAir AW 181, AW 281E or CC300 are also great options. Just depends on how large you want to go and if you want to start with Spanish Cedar shelves/drawers or now.
I got the Whynter Wineador a few months ago and I've been happy. It's a 250 capacity for $220 shipped. I keep it at 66 degrees so it'll last longer.

Welcome to the club, buddy. The very first thing you do is get rid of that awful black humi-puck and get a humidification device that will actually work. THESE are what you're looking for: Silica Gel Beads.
1/2 lb of silica beads will keep you in business for AT LEAST a year. Take a NEW pair of panty hose or similar material and pour in some silica beads into it, twist the gel up in the toe of the hose and then tie the hose in a knot so that you have a nice little ball of gel. Cut the silica gel ball off from the rest of the hose, dip the silica ball into some BOTTLED water (use bottled water so that you do not introduce any more impurities into the humidor that you have to). The silica beads turn from white to clear and pop and crackle like crazy as they absorb the water. Let the excess water drain out and then place the ball into a small yogurt cup or other small bowl that will hold water. The silica will regulate the humidity at around 70% by releasing or absorbing water from the air and will keep your cigars muy happy.
Believe me, don't waste your time and money on anything else for this type of setup. If the silica starts to turn white add a little more bottled water, but not so much that you have standing water in the cup.
Enjoy your perfectly humidified leaf sticks.
You can thank me later.
For day to day carrying, I keep my juices in my backpack in a Xikar 5-cigar travel humidor - it's lightweight, padded for protection on the inside, and solid enough that it can withstand being run over by a truck without damaging the contents.
No, It doesn't have a glass top, I want to say it is this one, but I'm just guessing... It look a lot like this though

About transparent pens: Does the transparency of the barrel in anyway have an adverse effect on the quality/longevity/colour of the ink?
If I were to get more than 1 pen to carry around for work, is there a recommended case that can safely transport 2-3 different fountain pens? The idea stems from seeing things like This Cigar Case. I do see some cases on Amazon, but was not sure if any particular ones were more respected than others.
When traveling by Plane, what can I expect from my pen in regards to leaking, clean up, and preventing leaks?
https://www.amazon.com/NewAir-CC-100-Count-Cigar-Cooler/dp/B00N1XAVFC/ just buy this :) It's what I did, and I love it!
Boveda pack and mason jar. No worries of mold, off flavors etc. etc. Open the jar the next day and it should be perfectly humidified. Store the boveda pack in a separate mason jar so that it doesn't dry out, or keep in jar with tobacco - but this might over humidify it for you.
A lot of the puck humidifiers and the like are notorious for growing mold since they all use that green foam, even when using distilled water. Spend the extra $3 for the Boveda pack. Or if you're looking for on the cheap, pick up some humidity beads and distilled water.

Amazon has Prime options for some - I bought one off there. I got one that is 'designed' to be a humidor, comes with cedar drawers/shelves in it.
If you can squeeze out an extra $50 this could work for you. Link
As long as you are a Prime member, you wouldn't have to pay for shipping.

Here's my current setup..
http://imgur.com/mXvr1Ub
I know a few people here have this model and have good experiences with it
https://www.amazon.com/Whynter-CHC-120S-Stainless-Cooler-Humidor/dp/B00KO95RVO
$25 Humi. This was my first, holds humidity like a champ! I quickly outgrew it, however.
I have a Cigar Oasis Ultra 2.0 in my 150 count and the Excel in my NewAir 250.
Both work flawlessly. I moved to ND and the extremely dry winters meant constantly adding water to my 150, which is not an inexpensive leaky humidor, so I decided to try Oasis out. They've pretty much been set and forget. I've had the Pure for about two years now and the Excel for a few months.
The NewAir 250 comes with an inaccurate analog hygrometer. Just get a Caliber IV. I use this with this for both humidors. Just check the wireless units against a boveda- mine are off by 2% after ~5 years.
Another option is an acrylic humijar: https://www.amazon.com/Prestige-Group-AJ25-Acrylic-Humidifier/dp/B00J21X9IS/ref=asc_df_B00J21X9IS/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=196254346466&hvpos=1o4&hvnetw=g&hvrand=13120550439323271006&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9008393&hvtargid=pla-313524482573&psc=1
They hold about 20 cigars, so if you've already smoked some and have about 20 left, that should work; you might even be able to get all 25 in there depending on the ring gauge of the cigars that you have. Buy a Boveda pack for that too, I wouldn't use the foam puck humidifying unit that comes with it.
Welp I love my leather pouch, but a classy travel humidor would probably do the trick.

have you thought about an electric cigar cooler? Those or a newair wine fridge which you can convert would be your best storage solutions.
Does he for sure only want a traditional humidor?
this site has some awesome plastic cases for whatever you want to stick in there.
i have this i took the humidor piece out and store my bottles in there if i leave the house for more than a day.
i also have a aluminum case that i recycled from a hair clipping set.
I have this one along with a couple other smaller Xicars and it works just as well. I keep a small Boveda in it at all times so it is ready to go whenever I take it on a weekend trip or to a herf.
Probably holds 15-20 cigars with the foam and 30-40 without the foam.
Everyone will recommend a tupperware but as my first humi i got this cheap on off amazon 30$ https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B013KR7ZLQ/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Seasoned it and with some beds it is holding humidity just fine
If you want to really do them justice unwrap them all and store them in a nice humidor, like this one http://www.amazon.com/Whynter-CHC-120S-Stainless-Cooler-Humidor/dp/B00KO95RVO?ie=UTF8&keywords=humidor&qid=1465344042&ref_=sr_1_15&sr=8-15
I don't think that model is large enough for 30 Dutch Masters though
The 236 oz Sistema is what I use. It's inexpensive and has a gasket so you have a good seal. It fits two cedar trays and you'll be able to store 30-50 cigars without a problem.
Toss a couple 65% boveda packs in there and you're good to go
To be honest, this thing off Amazon is a wonderful starter humidor. It fits a bunch of cigars, hold humidity pretty good, and looks great too!
They say the hygrometer is inaccurate on these, and it isn't adjustable, but I have two and they're both pretty accurate.
I'm still pretty new to cigar smoking. But when i bought my first haul, I ended up getting a Humidor on Amazon (i think it was around $25 and holds up to 50 cigars). I'm glad I did because it looks really nice in the room I have it in and with the gauge and everything I know I'm keeping a consistent humidity level. I'd recommend one for sure, but there's always the tupidor everyone recommends if you don't want to put the cash into a humidor.
Edit: This was the one I purchased It's now $35, but still a great buy, I think. Just also go for the Xikar 50 cigar humidifier along with it and wait a few days before putting any cigars in it, without letting the humidity build up first, it'll suck the moisture out of your cigars.
Definitely can rust your strings. Sponge humidifiers kinda suck, really easy to add too much moisture. You can get beads used for cigars that will release moisture and also absorb at a set humidity like 50%.

You can get packets of them like this.

They will eventually dry out in 4-6 months in a closed case, but you can put them with a sponge and they will rehydrate.

This is it. I would say that it should hold close to the 400 cigars it advertised if I either found boxes that fit together perfect in there or if I bought more shelves for it. But it's got plenty of room for what I need it for at the moment. I have close to 100 sticks in there and you see I've got room to spare.

1in less in diameter but taller from the specs I can find. Also no way that one holds 60+

Thanks for all the information - is it this one? https://www.amazon.com/NewAir-CC-300-Count-Cigar-Cooler/dp/B00N1XAVDY/
I can’t recommend this enough!! mine goes with me everywhere! And I mean everywhere I always have multiple cigars on me. You never know when the opportunity will present itself.
From experience, 60rh is great value.. i suggest you give it a shot and you’ll notice the difference in your smoking experience..
Glass top humi is not 100% airtight.. to seal it you need hot glue gun and run a seal along where glass/wood meet.. it’ll help
If you want the best storage possible i’d invest in a wineador, depending on your cigar count and what you anticipate to stash in future you can choose the size that fits your needs, usually we make the mistake of buying a small one not expecting we’d grow out of it.

Its airtight, insulated and you dont have to worry about temp changes.. throw in a boveda 320g in there and u set.
My wineadors run at 60rh/62 F year round,
And if you're anything like me you'll soon upgrade to something like this, I got it two weeks ago and it's already full

There's plenty! Here's an example of one (and it's cheaper without the glass too!):

While I like the design, I'm kind of sold on the window. I love to mire at my collection lol.
 
edit: So what are the chances the glass will cause issues?

> What's up guys, I recently received four hand wrapped Cuban cigars as a gift. I just ordered this off of amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Prestige-Group-AJ25-Acrylic-Humidifier/dp/B00J21X9IS/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1497314534&sr=8-1&keywords=cigar+humidor+jar and some 69% humidity packs. Will this set up be sufficient? Will it hurt the cigars if I only store 4 In a humidor meant for 20-25? Thanks.
Thank you for sharing, SolairesBFF. I'm thinking I'll pick up a few of those for myself and I'll be sure to share how they work out for me. Could anybody recommend a good thermometer/hygrometer to put inside where the humidifier currently is( assuming there is a way to remove it? )?
I see that there is a second humidor, the Franklin Display, on OP's link and I am wondering if anybody here know whether or not that humidor is going to be worth a buy. I'm sure I'd have to buy some Spanish cedar to place inside but I'm afraid I'd it would be hard to store such a large humidor away from light.
This is my humidor

Might I also suggest this. It will help age them and repel tobacco beetles. I have this exact setup and you can stack 2 inserts on top of one another for organization.

I think that I have a double traveldor that I don't use. If I find it you can have it. If not, I recommend the 3 finger Perfecto case. It has a built-in humidification device.
Got it on Amazon https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00KO90H6Y
Thinking about this one. I want something to last. Is it worth the money? I hear Savoy is a good brand. http://www.amazon.com/Savoy-Medium-African-Teak-Humidor/dp/B009YJO5AE/ref=sr_1_1_s_it?s=hpc&ie=UTF8&qid=1452890786&sr=1-1&keywords=african+teak+medium

Maybe someone with a Whynter can chime in. This one is a popular model here on Reddit. Have read good things about both sizes and it's thermoelectric.

This is a fairly cheap option. It's super durable, easy to carry, and will hold humidity. I've got this one. But they also make a bigger and smaller one. I highly recommend them!
They are cheaper on Amazon. The CC-300 runs for $359.
I can personally speak to the quality. I have had mine for a few months now and it's great.
