with the turn over that cigar stores have light is not really an isusse for them lol. i would go with a tupperdor becuse once you start its your count will go up fast..... if you think a 100ct is going to work get a 200ct than. I started with a 30ct desktop and outgrew it very fast. made a tupperdor that held around 100 and it filled up. i have since built a tupperdor that holds over 200 i have a desktop i got in a pass that holds my higher end sticks that is full and the 30ct destop has infused in it. moral of the story... spend afew more bucks and go bigger
