Seeing you are in Montreal, I don't know if cbid will work for you, but either way I will give the Montegue a positive recommendation. An Oasis or Hydra with some beads did the trick for me.

I never realized that was an option!

I called them before making a bid, confirmed it was possible, submitted a bid and then called again to mark it for pick-up. The drive was the perfect amount of time...one cigar on the way, and one on the way back!

Where is Cbid located? I think it's in PA but not sure what end. Pickup could be an option for me as well!

Steve, I've almost commited myself to get the Montegue but your post about space worries me!
What is a more realistic estimate of how many boxes/cabs will fit in them? I also was planning to just use 3 lbs of beads. But Joel mentioned a hydra or oasis. Are those really necessary? I was planning on putting a couple Oust fans in if I can find them.

It's around Bethlehem, eastern part of the state north of Philly.

If I had to guess, I'd say you could fit about thirty or more 25 ct boxes. I have the top shelf of three (not the drawer) loaded up with about a dozen boxes and think I could fit two or three more if I tried. The second and third shelf should hold about the same....so maybe as many as 40 or 50. I have a bunch of singles all over the place on the lower shelves, so hopefully someone with a more "packed full of boxes" set up can chime in.

I think 3 lbs of beads would be fine for most of the year, but in the winter I think I would have some trouble maintaining. I use an Oasis kind of like an automatic bead recharger. I would guess that would be the case with just about any humidor that isn't air tight like a coolerdor.
