Hummmm, South America. Take me with you!
Almost all humidors have three features in common:
* Spanish Cedar:
* Humidification Unit:
* Hydrometer:
Here is a list with details and price:

You're on the right track - most people that buy humidors buy them not because they smoke a lot of cigars, but because they DON'T smoke a lot of cigars. The humidor is the best way to keep them fresh.
I would also try Thompson Cigars www.thompsoncigars.com or Cigars International http://www.cigarsinternational.com/ and see what they have. A lot of times, they may run a special that includes a humidor. I got one from Thompson that holds 50 cigars and it's just fine for me. I prefer a glass top so you can see the hydrometer - this way you don't have to open it to see if the humidification level is okay.

Not sure where the poster that stated that people buy humidors because they don't smoke cigars that often got his info from but its totally incorrect.
Humidors require a little bit of work in order to season and maintain them. One possibility is to purchase an air/water tight travel humi. Otterbox makes the Cigar Caddy in 5ct, 15 ct and 36 ct sizes. This would be ideal on a ship where ambient humidity may be an issue
