I would like to add that if you already like cigars and plan on smoking anywhere near regularly, you will eventually want to start buying by the box. This drops the cost per stick considerably on most brands. While the 40 - 100 stick humidors are great starting out, they quickly become obsolete when you find 2 or three favorites and want a box (or more) of each. Especially when one of your favorites is put ON SALE at your favorite website and you want to stock up!
+1 on the Cigar Oasis. Get the refillable cartridge ONLY and buy some distilled water. I've got one in my
150 Cigar Art Deco Glass Top Humidor: Cheap Humidors Cigar Humidor Cigar Accessories CheapHumidors.com
150 stick humidor at the office and it is next to no maintenance. Replace the refillable cartridge about every 18 months @ $15. At home I have a
ARISTOCRAT CABINET HUMIDOR OPTIONS
and it is truly SET AND FORGET. It will beep at you if you get outside the preset humidity / temperature range letting you know to add more water.

Cheap Humidors Cigar Humidor Cigar Accessories CheapHumidors.com. The Make an Offer option really works. Bought several things there at right around 80% of retail price and have never had a problem. Jockeys, sorry to hear about your troubles there.
By the way, I carry an 8mm punch on my key ring. Use that almost exclusively.
Enjoy the smokes!
