View Full Version : OK, here's the fridge with Chuck's drawers...

Well, unloaded most of the contents of my 2 coolers into my new fridge with my great new drawers and shelves from Chuck (Chasden)

It fits about 400 sticks leaving about 50 "doubles" in unopened boxes and about 25 tubos still in the cooler. With another 75 on the way from Atlantic I just may have to consider either a second fridge or simply a large stand-up unit. I'm smoking as fast as I can but the seem to add up quickly.

What did "Roy Sheider" in "Jaws" say? "We're gonna' need a bigger boat"...

I have a new Cuban Crafters 150 stick that I will probably put on top of the fridge for the meantime...

Here's the Cubans: (Monte "A"'s and Upmann Sir Winnies kept in their lovely boxes also with some Partagas D4, more Siglos and a La Aurora Tresure box on top)

I loaded it up and put in 3 small tubs of 65% in the top half and a 1lb block of 70% at the bottom... I have 3 hygros in place and I will monitor the RH... I did not cure the drawers... If it tends to be dry I don't mind as long as it doesn't get really low as my Cubans seem to be a tad most and require an overnight dryboxing. Hopefully their new home will bring them all in line.

I've left the glass on the shelves but open a crack. I have it plugged in and set to it's highest temp (about 67 degrees) and I am also using 1 Oust fan.

This will beat the hell out of rummaging thru picnic coolers. Hope this works well.

If you're really that hard up for space, you can always send the overflow to me for proper disposal. :ss

Sweet fridge there.

A mixed bag of my faves here: Leon Jimenes 300's, Hoyas and Oliva O's (all Churchills) Oliva V Belis, Perdomo Habanos Robustos (a great smoke!) CAO MX2's in Toro and a box of Rocky Decade Torpedos.

Wow I'm speechless. I'm not sure what I'm drooling over, the cigars or the fridge... or maybe just both!

Your setup looks great, Wayne! :tu

I especially like the pics of the Cohibas and Trinidads!! :dr :dr

Chuck made all-cedar trays for mine - 2 doubles and 3 singles. I guess I should get off my butt and post a picture or two... :D

Gracious offer, brother, and thanks - but I don't speak Canadian, so I doubt if it'll happen.

Showing your drawers in public and making people drool over their contents? I thought that was illegal in most states. :r

:tpd: I received mine from Chas a while ago and have yet to take pics as well. Think I'll do it once I get out of the field.

What a nice selection of cigars.

Makes me very envious my friend :tu

The trays don't really need seasoned, just keep an eye on the RH.

Looks great Wayne.

Thanks for the write up,
Chas

Beautiful setup you have there. :dr :tu One small question though, why 65% and 70% beads (or whatever you are using)? With the two different RH's everything will eventually settle to the higher RH, whether it is beads or some other form of humidification. I will qualify that statement by saying that my small unit will only hold 60% with 65% beads due to it keeping the temp at 63deg. at it's highest setting of 66deg. I usually don't keep it turned on because of this and it holds 65%.

His trays are stained so they are solid bottoms with a glass top.

Stained trays are always solid bottoms.

Only the natural unfinished trays come with the option for slotted bottoms.

Saw your pictures lexxxus-
First thought- "gotta get me a vinotemp"!
Searched high and low- finally got one thru craigslist.
Second thought- "gotta find this guy Chas".
Finally made contact with Chas and got on the waiting list.
Told him- "I want the same setup as lexxxus"!
Now I gotta wait.
I hate waiting.
"Gotta be patient" I say.
