Humidor recommendations
I'm looking for a really nice humidor but I don't really know who the best makers are. I hardly ever smoke and I only have about 10 cigars, so I don't want something to big. Maybe a box that holds 50 or less and has dividers.
I've heard really small boxes can't control the humidity as well as larger ones. If this is true, I don't mind getting something a little bigger. Also looking for something a little more on the modern/contemporary side of things. As long as it looks good, is built well, and works great I don't mind paying a little extra. Thanks.

I like Savoys, they are inexpensive (around 160ish) and can hold around 100, plus have dividers and look great
However, if you don't care about style, buy a Rubbermaid Cube or similar small drink cooler and make a "Coolador". Let it air out for a few days to get the plastic smell out, Seal the drain hole with some caulk, glew some strips of spanish cedar to the inside to absorb the moisture, for the cigars to rest on use plastic dividers for a cooler, or a plastic shelf unit for a locker, line with cedar, plus add a few Boveda water pillows (72 rH if you have a normal humidty house, 75 rH if you are in a dry climate). Just use an hygrometer to watch the rH, and your good to go! The whole thing will cost you less than a desktop humidor, you can hold a lot of cigars, and it has a very good seal that will keep in humidity |

Anybody have any experience with Don Salvatore? I saw one that I kind of liked but don't know about their reputation. It looked like it was built fairly well.
