One of my favorite cigars comes from Mexico. It's the Walter Morgan Te-Amo. Mostly cause it's pretty good cigar and used to get them for free whenever Walter came to town. Last time I saw him was on the golf course, he came riding up in a cart with his cousin. He was not in good physical condition. Diabetes had done what two tours in Vietnam and agent orange could not.
Can I got off an a tangent? Or what?
Sorry!

Your thought on size is right on, small humis run out of space quick.
I keep a 150 count humi at the house, and I have a 25 gallon storage bin that I keep at the farm for when I want to age boxes of cigars.
My home humi came from Cigars International, it came with a bunch of smokes too. It is the 5 Vegas combo, and I've had it for several years now.
Forget about the black floral sponge, and any kind of gel, also trash the pretty brass hygrometer. They're all junk.
I use the black box the floral foam comes in, cracked it open, and put Relative Humidity beads in it instead. They are the most stable humidification I have found. 4 oz is way more than enough to keep that humidor stable. Buy a digital hygrometer, and a calibration kit for it. Expect to spend about $20 for a decent hygrometer. RH beads are best bought in bulk, split a 1/2lb order with another cigar smoking buddy and you're both set. Order beads and hygrometer from Heartfelt Industries. Cigars stored at 65% RH are much more pleasant to smoke than those stored at 70.
Cigars intl has a great article on how to season and set up your new humidor.
