This is actually a great suggestion too. I have that tower and I love it.

The only problem is that shipping tends to add $150-$200 to the price of these things.

You could always search craigs list for humis for sale.

I would suggest coolers and 100-150ct desktops. Larger desktops make finding a single cigar difficult, you have to dig through a pile of other stuff to find the one stick you want to smoke. Smaller desktops are easier to organize. Same with coolers. Although some use the large 120-160qt Igloo coolers, I find the 48-60qt size easier to stack in a closet and move around if needed.

The wife has actually suggested it as a "focal piece" in my office (i.e. she wants something nice to look at) and I am going with some coolers, but I view those as a temporary/overflow area and I'm looking for something with a more permanent place in the room. I have thought about a 28 bottle vinotemp, but I'm worried thats not enough storage. I'm trying to use the 3x the size I need philosophy on this one so I don't have to buy another one for a long while!!

Thanks for the suggestions and keep 'em coming, I like hearing all the different suggestions so I can take them to the wife and she can go through them and give me the "absolutely not" list. Yes, my wife supports my sicknesses... shes a giant enabler!

If you're wanting a focal piece humi in the $300 - $400 range I recommend this one: http://pipesandcigars.com/royjucihuwic1.html

I likes it (and wants it, lol).

The seal on mine was fine, but I added some weatherstripping around the opening just because... its pretty rock solid.
