The Capri 25-50 Cigar Humidor


Holds up to 25 Cigars
Round Humidifier
Lined with Premium Kiln Dried Spanish Cedar
Gold Plated Hidden Quadrant Hinges
Mahogany Finish

This humidor is perfect for the cigar lover who doesn't have a huge collection. This humidor has all the essentials to keep your cigars in perfect condition for years to come. The beautiful mahagony finish will look nice in any decor. There are lots of companies selling this humidor out there, that is because it is a really good box for the money. But our price is the best, and I am really funny, so surely that has to count for something?

I actually bought two of these humidors. I bought one for a favorite uncle of mine that smokes cigars, and was having one of those big turning 70 parties. I was at his house one night and noticed that his was starting to fall apart. Knowing how cheap he is, I knew that he would never get a new one for himself, (nor would his family, for they are cheap too). I started out looking in cigar stores for a humidor but very quickly learned that it was definitely not the place to go if you don't want begin at a $100 minimum. This very same one I happen to find at a local smoke shop, and paid more for it there than it is currently being offered at here on Amazon. And I still feel I got my moneys worth. This humidor is very solidly built, and heavy. The mahogany finish is thick and very nicely polished. It is very rich and expensive looking, far beyond what it actually cost. My uncle was thrilled with it, and even told me that I shouldn't have spent so much on him. (Assuming of course that I got it at a cigar store and took a bath on it). I picked up one of those brass name plates at a local craft store and had his initials printed on it. Mounting it with brass screws was a cinch, and it made the box look even more stylish. He was most pleased...

I ended up returning to the smoke shop and buying one for myself to store both incense in, and to store my pipe tobacco pouches. I like filling my leather pipe pouches with tobacco and keeping them ready to go, rather than storing loose tobacco in a tin, or pipe humidor. This humidor not only looks classy and handsome on my desk, but it's also excellent at what its supposed to do. I drop about a tablespoon of water in the moistener about once a week, and my tobacco is always fresh and ready to burn. I also keep various incense bricks in the box for they burn slower and sweeter when kept from completely drying out.

I highly recommend this handsome, quality built humidor either for yourself, or as a gift for the tobacco user in your family. And I also recommend buying it here on Amazon, for the price is excellent. There is no question that there are far more expensive and quality humidors to be had, here on Amazon and at many other places. If you, or your intended are a serious cigar smoker who is used to nothing but the best as far as cigars or tobacco is concerned, perhaps hiking up your budget a smidgen and skipping this choice would be a good idea. On the other hand, if you're on a budget like most of us, but still enjoy a good cigar, or know someone that does, this humidor will make a very handsome gift, or a fine addition for your own pleasure. It is much more expensive looking than it actually will cost you, and in my opinion will last you for just as many years as some of the cigar store high end models...


This is a fantastic humidor. I've seen the same exact model selling for $70 at a fine smoke shop. It is well crafted. The finish is done well and looks very classy.

The inside is fully Spanish cedar lined, very important. The accessories are worthless, but they always are, even in more expensive humidors. You should use a digital hygrometer and humidity beads if you are serious about keeping your cigars well kept.

Says it fits up to 50 cigars, but I've got more than that in there right now, mostly smaller ones, but I'm guessing it would fit 50 churchills or probably 100 petite coronas at least.

excellent buy!

Xikar Xi1 Cigar Cutter Titanium

XI1 Cutter, Titanium
Titanium Colored Aluminum Body HRC55 Stainless Steel Blade in a Spring-Loaded Ergonomic Shap

I wanted something better than the $4 cutter found at every tobacco store and gas station because they kept crushing my cigars rather than cutting them. I'm only an occasional (about 1 a month) cigar smoker so it didn't make sense for me to buy a $100 cigar cutter but this one was a good price and the quality has been excellent. I got the Titanium one and I really like the solid feel, it keeps the blades very close to eachother as they slide in which is critical in getting a smooth cut without pinching the cigar. I learned to twist the cigar as the blades made contact with it when I was using the cheap cutters and I continue to do this with the Xikar although it is plenty sharp and it isn't necessary it has simply become a habit.

Like any good, quality item I recommend maintaining it for the best longevity, the best way to do this is to keep the blade clear of any debris. It also travels well as the built in locking mechanism keeps it closed at all times and it fits in a pocket watch sized pocket in slacks and jeans. I would recommend this cutter to anyone who appreciates good cigars and is tired of ruining them with a poorly built, dull cutter.

I bought my cutter few years ago. Worked flawlessly until it locked up and wouldn't open anymore. So I sent it back to Xikar. After a month, I wondered where my cutter was. Took me a week to get in touch with someone at the office, but finally determined that USPS sent it back to KC. They overnighted the cutter back to me after confirming my address. When I got my replacement cutter, it also had issues. I sent it back...after another month, and many posts on their FB page. I finally got it back. Except this time they sent me a silver and not a titanium. Don't really care actually, just glad I finally got a working cutter. While all this was going on, I got tired of using my punch so I bought a $16 Cuban Crafters cutter. My only regret with that is, I wish I bought one sooner. Their policy also states that you will get your return within a week.

In short, if u don't mind that slow customer service at Xikar, then get their cutter. But IMO, their cutters are overpriced and the customer service has a lot of room for improvement. My score would have been higher if it weren't for the CS and having to return my replacement.

Tommy Bahama 3 Piece Men's Cigar Cologne Gift Set






Set Sail St. Barts, Signature, Set sail Martinique Size: .5 fL.oz 15 mL.
best cigar with best box and best for gift.






I ordered this for my friend and thought ....maybe it will be used or not in good shape. Was I wrong....he loved it and I actually ordered another one for my boyfriend the very next week.

Fast shipping. Decent price. But the box looked like it was maybe a display box. Had several nicks/ scratches. Doesn't look very presentable. Disappointed in looks. I kept it but instead of displaying it on my dresser it resides in a bathroom drawer. Disappointing!

Perfecto Cigar Cutter

Product Features
Lifetime Warranty
Automatically cut the exact amount of tobacco from your cigar including Figurado and Torpedo shaped cigars
Self-sharpening double blades are made with surgical grade stainless steel
Cut cigar ring gauges of up 54
Elegant gift box include

This this sleek and functional cigar cutter is a great way to start your smoke off right. The cutter is made from solid, surgical grade stainless steel and features O-shaped handles for an easy cut. This unique designed blade had a calibrated chamber where you insert the cigar to cut of the exact amount every time. This self-sharpening, guillotine cutter is great to keep on hand at all times and easily fits in your pocket.
I have a handful of $1-2 cutters which should just be burned and have a nice Xikar cutter which costs several times what this cutter costs and which I use only at home because I am afraid to take it out with me and lose it.

Enter the cuban crafters cutter... I had heard it was nice, and for 13 bucks, why not try it. At worst, I'm out the price of a nice cigar, and at best, I now have a new traveling cutter.

I have to say, I was very pleasantly surprised when I got the cutter in the mail. The packaging for the cutter alone was nicely done. The cutter itself is very solid and has a good weight to it, feels like it can withstand some heavy usage.

The cutter has a back to it to prevent people from cutting too much off the cigar. For those with torpedoes, it has a small hole to give more space to handle the torpedo tip. I found that I needed to cut a torpedo twice in order to get the desired cut to the cigar. While slightly annoying to have to cut twice, the quality of the cut won me over... crisp, clean and smooth.

In summary, want a superb cigar cutter that costs a fraction of the other popular cutters? Want a cutter with solid build and superb clean cuts? And lastly, want a cutter you won't bang your head against a wall if you leave at a bar or party?

.... then this is your cutter.

Great device for when you get interrupted while enjoying your favorite cigar. Recently, when visiting my in laws, I decided to step out for a cigar. Of course half way through my 1926 Padron my wife and her mother had come home and were ready to head out to dinner. Grumbling about my bad timing, I had a few more puffs then gave a nice exhale through the cigar(to clear out smoke within the tobacco)and slipped it into the cigar saver. Later that evening I was able to spark my cigar back up. I was happy to be able to finish my cigar, it was like I had only stepped away from it for a few min.
I am a regular cigar smoker, so this item is a very necessary accessory. I can be interrupted while enjoying my favorite smoke and keep the rest for later. The cigar saver works well, but the top of the unit seems to be made of a very flimsy plastic. I don't think the hinge will last long. When I saw the description I assumed the unit was made of a heavy plastic or metal. It's made of plastic, but not as heavy as it looks. The lid and lid hinge is made of a very flimsy plastic, that gives very easily if pushed on. It is OK for the price. If you want a premium unit pay the premium price.

I am writing this approximately 20 minutes after opening the package. Overall, I am very satisfied with the scents and product. I am not an expert in cologne, but here's how I perceive the four fragrances:

In order of best to worst (though none of them were terrible):

1. BLUE - Similar to a common, standard, and reliable scent that you'd find at Macy's. In other words, as soon as I smelled it, I felt that I had smelled it before. That's not a bad thing in my opinion since a cologne represents you and you want to avoid really off-the-path scents. Even though the scent was common, it works.

2. (TIE) ORANGE and GOLD - GOLD is also Macy's-ish but a little more unique. I'd say it has a slightly "heavier" scent (hard to explain) and it also reminds me of a food scent I can't seem to place.

ORANGE - is more light, citrus-y, and has some other tone that I just can't place. It is probably the most uni-sex scent of the bunch. It's more unique than GOLD or BLUE and I keep finding myself going back to smell it.

3. RED - I'd place this one last, but not because it's bad. It's just strong and musty. My first impression was that I didn't like it, but after a few more goes, I determined it's something I would wear (just not as often as the other three). I see this one as a riskier play; a more polarizing fragrance.

Lastly, one of the spays (GOLD) wouldn't spray at first. I had to keep pressing it, but all that would come out where heavy drop of the cologne. I actually gave up, but when I went back to it later to make a better tester, it started working. All four sprays have a look of high quality (stickers and caps) and come in nice glass shaped cigars.

I will update this after my wife smells them (I won't tell her I'm testing them).

Store and show off your cigar collection with this gorgeous desktop humidor from Quality Importers. The glass-top Capri has a smaller size that holds between 25 and 50 cigars. It comes completely lined with premium kiln-dried Spanish cedar and features SureSeal Technology ensures a airtight seal and optimum humidity control. Other features include a scratch-resistant felt-lined bottom, gold-plated hidden quadrant hinges, engravable brass nameplate, tempered glass top, and one round humidifier. It's completed with a mahogany finish and front-mounted glass hygrometer with brass ring. It measures 10-5/16 by 8-3/4 by 4-5/16 inches (WxDxH).
Humidors are designed to achieve the proper storing conditions of cigars for storing over an extended period of time, with an ideal humidity of 60 to 70 percent and temperature between 65 and 70 degrees. Spanish-cedar is the most frequently used wood for the interior veneer of humidors as it holds more moisture than most woods as well as imparts its aroma to cigars.

I will start by saying that yes, this is an attractive box to store your smokes in. The glass top is a nice touch. It feels heavy and the lid closes tight with some good weight to it as well. I dont mind having this on display in my living room. Seems to hold about 40 cigars or so. Maybe you could squeeze in 50 if they were a bit smaller gauge. Now there is really only one negative for me. Its a pretty big negative which is why my rating went from a 5 to a 3 star

The Hygrometer does NOT come attached to the humidor. It comes in a separate little box along with the humidifier. Sounds like no biggie, right? Well I really cant believe noone else has said this, but the Hygrometer doesnt fit properly in the hole in the from of the humdor. It comes with a Magnet for the back of it, but if you try to use the magnet to hold it in place, A- it will not read correctly, B- It does not seal tight or proper. It just kinda hangs there waiting to get bumped so you have to adjust it again. It came with a rubber ring around the base which made it so I could not even push it in the hole in from of the humidor. afer I removed the rubber ring it was simply too loose. wiggling around and not sealed proper, with a cheap magnet holding it in place.

My solution was to Super Glue the hygrometer to the humidor. Now it is in place and not moving around. I think I set it well enough to keep the humidity in pretty good. So now that it is GLUED in place it is totally just for looks. It reads at just over 50% humidity no matter what I do. Bah, whatever. I have a humidity stick in there so i know the cigars are fine, but the hygrometer is usless and a pain in the arse. Really just dissapointing that it did not come already attached to the damn humidor. I would not buy another one. Ill make sure to research better in the future. But it serves its purpose now, and looks attractive enough.
