You can spend a small fortune on a good humidor, but there are several good package deals out there.
I got mine from Cigars International, they offer a few different package deals. This is the one that has replaced mine: http://www.cigarsinternational.com/p...text=5%20vegas
I got a bunch of cigars, and a humidor for a decent price.
I've had it for about 6 years now, and it has been rock solid.
I do not use the PG solution, or humidity gel anymore. I use Relative Humidity beads, 65% humidity. They keep it very solid.
I also tossed the analog hygrometer, it's pretty, but junk. Get a good digital one.
You are supposed to use distilled water, but I use the filtered water from my fridge, and my cigars keep fine. I have several in there well over 10 years old.
I buy cigars to smoke a year or two down the road, and plan to age them. They settle in, and the flavor matures when they sit for a while. I do buy cigars just to smoke, cheap ones like the Flor I had tonight.
Some folks will tell you to take your cigars out of the cello, but it is not necessary to. They breathe just fine with it on. That myth has been dispelled several times over.
The key to keeping cigars is to have the humidor in a stable environment. I keep mine in the kitchen cabinet. The house stays pretty stable in temperature all year, and I keep a close eye on my humidity level (check it every few days)
