Old Dirty's Humidor

[WaxingMoon]

Old Dirty had sent me an Accu Monitor to run this thing.... and It should do a great job...as she is sealed tight!

Note the passive system between chambers. All centered around the Accumonitor. The Accu Monitor's sensor is mounted in one of the cigar chambers.

The front accessory panel is completely sealed from the rest of the humidor interior.

Here's what the drawing looked like.... many moons ago.

Thanks so much for your patience, Brandon...(and he has been patient)

I think now.... I'm ready to build another one... it'll go much smoother thanks to taking the time to work through a prototype...

And.... as all prototypes go.... it will be nice to hear how ya'all like it!

Thanks to all!

[WaxingMoon]

A long, long time ago.... I had drew up a prototype humidor based off a popular "asian" model....

Knowing how prototypes are - I knew that I would be in for some trial and error... which, I guess, is the point of prototypes......

10 months ago, I set off on this journey and Old Dirty had faith that I'd get it done...and pretty much supported my efforts financially ( about 1/3 what future models will be going for) while I worked through the bugs to make the prototype a reality....

Agreeing that I would be working on this in my "spare time"...and that it would take longer than normal (I think I had to redo about 3 times..... I had no idea all of the curve balls life was getting ready to throw at me.... as I have had a lot of personal stuff happen over this past summer…. And I’m finally digging my way out…. Yay!

Well…she’s finally finished and will be on it’s way to Canada shortly.

She’s 27” x 13” x 19-5/8” high. She has some heft to her, for sure.

I’m guessing she’ll hold about 500-600 cigars…..

Note: You can take the trays out for box storage if you like…..

Cool concept, I like the drawers on the sides!

[deadrise]

looks great :D would be all I need for a few months ha very nice job ed

[SteelCityBoy]

I need something bigger than I have now. That is a great looking humi! Very decorative, but at the same time funtional! Nice! :tu

[RonC]

that accumonitor would be more accessible if mounted inside of a cigar box, and placed on top of the cabinet

[mase]

That's beautiful work!

[WittyUserName]

Beautiful work!!! I cannot wait to see it filled.

[alexa071]

She's a beauty Ed! As usual, a piece of art!! The one concern I'd have is the small squares that allow air flow between the middle and the tray sections. If the sensors are telling the humidifier that it needs to catch up to get the outer chambers up to RH I'd worry about getting a spike in RH in the middle chamber leading to mold growth. Have you run it at all yet?

Good point, but I don't believe it will be an issue.... as the humi is tight, so the accumonitor probably won't run very much.... and it would all begin with proper seasoning.....

I think, if it were mine to keep... I would have used beads in the same chamber.... but, that's just me.

No, I haven't run it..... But, I'm sure it'll be fine..

[Fordman4ever]

Wow, I remember when this was just a drawing. that thing looks great.

[OldDirty]

Ed the humidor came out looking great!

[hscmit]

looks great

[chaase321]

Wow Ed, that is awesome looking! :tu

you guys on here have a true talent. I just hope to own something this nice one day!

[Crownedone]

Seriously cool piece of furniture perfect for any home.

[Mutombo]

Gorgeous. Nice job Ed!

[HollywoodQue]

That's a fine looking humi :tu

[LigaPrivadaT84]

Beautful.

[OldDirty]

Thanks everyone for the kind remarks.

[WaxingMoon]

Packed up today... and going out Monday. She is sweet, Brandon.

[OldDirty]

Good to hear. I'm looking forward to laying my eyes on it. I pray it gets here in one piece. I went out last week to get a stand for it since my desk cannot accommodate the size of the humidor. Going have to start buying more boxes to start slowly filling her up.

[OldDirty]

Hey guys I received the humidor last week and it's been seasoning since. First I want to thank Ed for packaging the humidor very well. It arrived safely and in one piece, as you guys know I was worried it might get damaged in transport due to it's weight and size.

After unpackaging and setting it up you could really appreciate the hard work put into this humidor. The quality is top notch and speaks for itself in the pictures. All the little details really make up this humidor. I love it! The entire build process took a little longer then expected but was most definitely worth it in the long run. If you are thinking about getting a humidor like this one go ahead and get one you won't regret it Ed is a stand up guy and obviously takes pride in his work as this humidor looks great!

Beautiful!

[big a]

I have been waiting to see this ever since I saw the design for it. The humidor look outstanding! but it sure is empty.....

[OldDirty]

Once she holds a steady 65 the cigars will go in. For the moment the humidor is still seasoning.

I'm glad she made it there OK..... phew! And, I'm glad you like her. She was a prototype and I learned a lot on the build... which is always a good thing... I think I had to start over about 3 times....

She'll take a while to season - there's a ton of Spanish Cedar in there.... and that will take a bit to season....

In case ya'all haven't seen the initial drawing.... here it is...

And, Thanks for the kind words, Brandon.....

Not a bad idea maybe I'll have Ed build some chess pieces to go along with the humi :D
