Personally, I think humidors are important, even early on. They can help guarantee a more consistent smoking experience.
When you first start smoking cigars, you're trying to figure out what you like. If you "buy as you smoke" you're adding one more variable to the cigar; the humidification level. Cigars bought from stores (or especially online) can vary incredibly in terms of how wet or dry they are. This can have a big effect on your overall enjoyment.
If you let the cigars sit in a good humidor for a few weeks or months, you remove this variable, and are then only assessing the flavor and construction.
I have an Ashton/Savoy humidor that I'm very happy with.
These Aristocrat cabinets look fantastic, but are a little pricey.

mazeman I am with you on the Humidor. I can get a Humidor for the price of the what Billy mentioned to do. I want a Humidor that I can grow into also I dont want to undersize and fork out double the money in the near future. This is a misson for sure. I am alittle affraid purchasing something like this without handling it first.
This Cigar obession is just like our DE obsession.
I like so far Mild or Mild-Medium body cigars. Looked at CigarIntl.com and they have a few good Cigar Samplers at a good price. Just a little FYI..
I am a cigar man myself. If you want ANYTHING, check out cigarbid.com and save yourself money. And I see that you are from Boston, check out GLoucester street cigar. , the owner Jose is a great guy. There is also two guys in NH which is just HUGE. If you want a great cigar, I HIGHLY recommend the Oliva V, my personal favorite for a great cigar and not paying top dollar. I also highly recommend a Padron 3000. Best cigar for 5 bucks.
I don't want to seem argumentative, but the cheaper humidors just don't work as well as they should. I've owned several. My converted coolers were a much better investment.
If you are sure you want something nice, the aristocrat humidors linked by mazeman are of extremely high quality. A good investment, if you are serious about your cigars and want something that also looks great.
Cigarbid is the devil.
You just likely cost everyone a ton of money just by mentioning it.
I didn't know what CAD was until I registered with Cigarbid. Definitely a place to pick up some good deals, once you know what you like, and can recognize what a good deal really is.
... I have wanted an Aristocrat for some time .... rmrdaddy (rob) a member here, almost had me talked into buying one but I am married to my wife and not my good friend Rob.....DL
