I pulled the trigger on a Cabinet Humi

PS....thanks to all that helped me on my original thread about this....damn, this thing is hugh!!!!

A few imperfections that some sand paper can fix. It also came with 4 cedar trays and an Oasis II XL.

Looking good Howard, be carfull posting pics of empty humis!!

[Trkdrvremt]

WOW!!! Great find....

[hscmit]

looks great
now to fill it up...

[OLS]

I love it, but of course once you do get married, she is going to make you believe that it has to go. She will
get inside your mind and make you think it is your idea. It will either end up in the garage, a garage SALE
or an attic room that she allows you to have. MAYBE something in the basement if you convince her that's
where the spiders are.

[N2 GOLD]

GREAT looking cabinet! Congratzzz!!! -(P

[CRIMPS]

Very nice... Have fun filling it up.

You guys may think women will hate cabinet humidors but they like them a lot more than when you are stacking coolers in the dining room :D

[emopunker2004]

[kelmac07]

Sweet looking cabinet Howard!! :tu :tu

[HollywoodQue]

Did Kwame want his credenza back? :r:r:r

Credenza....fancy word Bob for saying "file cabinet" and no, I still have it...it's too heavy to move right now, so it's still sitting in the den next to the new humidor....you can always come by and help....:noon

[EricF]

Howard, real nice piece you got there!!!

You should know better than to post pics of it empty no matter how proud of it you are!!!

Just sayin'!!!

[forgop]

Now about that finders fee.... :r :r :r

Looks good. Congrats!

[Louistogies]

Very cool! Keep adding pictures as it fills up.

[OLS]

Coolers belong in the basement or in a spare room anyway, the simple desktop is the whole
house solution. You watch, once the communal property is assessed and all of his stuff goes in
the attic, he will see how women operate. PFfftt! Like I know, never even been engaged.

[jonumberone]

Very cool Howard, Congrats :tu

[Smokin Gator]

PFfftt! Like I know, never even been engaged.

I'd marry ya brother... as long as it was on my terms!!! Read as no sex and I had access to all of your coolers:tu

[backwoods357]

Excellent purchase! I couldn't even imagine ever filling that up.

[DBall]

Excellent purchase! I couldn't even imagine ever filling that up.

You must be new here. Give it a year. :r

I said the same thing on 06-07. We won't get into the amount of cigars I've got now.

[maverickdrinker]

HHHHmmmmmm.......

Very pretty and EMPTY cabinet. Looks like there is some filling up to do......

[HollywoodQue]

You guys know that it takes time to season a humidor, especially one this size and because I have to get another humifier. Just taking my time so I will get it right....

[MiamiE]

Thats a nice shed you bought! Space for the lawn mower, weed eater, etc... :r

[OldDirty]

Great find! That's one good looking humidor.

[Steve]

I think Emopunker tried the same reasoning...:D

[muhren]

SWEET humi find!! Looks awesome.

[Matt-N-Ga]

Awesome find!!! Congrats :banger

[HollywoodQue]

Been working on this thing all day. Sanded all of the cedar trays, resealed the interior doors, added a brass door latch and interior lighting. While I wait for the Hydra LG to arrive, I started seasoning it by adding 20 rectrangle humidifiers, 4 bowls of distilled water, and running the broken Oasis II XL that only reads "LLL" on the display since I cleaned and plugged it up.

Did you not try the blow dryer method I posted in your other thread before 86'ing the idea of using the Cigar Oasis?

[NCost]

Nice, very nice.

I just ordered an Avallo 1200 and showed my wife yours so I could say "see, mine isn't that big"... thanks.

[HollywoodQue]

Yes I tried it Duane, same results. The guy I bought it from even said that's what it does....I have already ordered the Hydra LG, just waiting...hopefully it will be in sometime next week.

[forgop]

Ok, just wanted to check. If the method had already been tried, makes sense.

I think it's time to get that thing filled up now. :r

[Chainsaw13]

Howard, how soon till your Hydra shows up? You can use my Humicare (hydra copy) until then if you want. I'm going to be taking it out soon from my cabinet. The Shilala beads are holding steady now the furnace isn't running much.

I ordered it on Friday, I believe it should be here by Wednesday. I am just trying to season it right now and it seems that the rectriangle humidifiers and bowls of distilled water is working OK for now, but I appreciate the offer.

If the Hydra isn't here by mid week, I may take you up on it...plus....its a good excuse to herf at my house. I will keep you informed and thanks again Bob.

[Chainsaw13]

No problem there Howard. Just let me know.

[Duke9192]

Nice cabinet, but it's kinda really empty!! Have fun filling it up.

[Altra]

Howard how's the humi coming along, Get the Hydra all setup?

Like the look of the lights :tu

Shawn

Yes Shawn, I finally got it setup and filled. It took about a week to make fine tuning adjustments with the Hydra, beads, and moving a few boxes around. It took a total of about 3-4 weeks from seasoning to an almost perfect humidity level of 68%. I will post photo's on another thread soon. Thanks for asking.

[Altra]

Anytime, can't wait to see it filled up.

Shawn
