Pig Iron Humi

[Big Perm]

Just picked up a Pig Iron 100 count humi and a decent stash of 60 of so cigars....the box is solid appears well made....two small qc items, the hygrometer is a titled 10 degrees or so too much to one side, and one of the dividers was missing the sponge/tight-fit piece on one end....otherwise, very impressed....overall decent build, no structural items noticed...

I like the toolbox look and it's fits within the spirit of the man cave, so it works.....will update post in a month once it gets some good use.

Got a pic? Sounds cool.

I'm hoping you seasoned your humidor before loading it up.
Also, you'll be better off if you pick yourself up a digital hygrometer and some beads to regulate your RH.

Even when he's alone. :D

Still, I wouldn't mind a pic myself . . . I'm bored.

I've seen a couple online, if it's one with the glass top insert you might want to think about sealing the edge around the glass as well. :2

They are pretty nice / industrial looking boxes!

Only ones I have seen are the shiny, diamond plate looking ones. Pretty cool if that's your theme.

Follow Peter's advice if you haven't already seasoned that sucker.

Apologies, I suck at pictures worse than I suck at the internet. I couldn't find a direct link to it, but got it at CI, http://www.cigarsinternational.com/humidors/38300/pig-iron-100-humidor/

Went with the humicare jar for humidification, I also suck at maintenance :D

Will try to get the wifey to help me figure out how to post a pic this weekend and edit this post. For the last couple of years, I've been just buying as-needed at the cigar shop when a cigar event came up.

Recommend you ditch that humicare jar asap and buy some humidity beads. :)

Uh, with that small of humi. I think the jar should work, mine have done really well, but that's me.

Tom is right. Humicare jars do not regulate humidity very well. They are very good a releasing moisture to saturate the humidor though...

It's a cool looking piece, especially for a garage or man cave. Email CI on the QC items and they should make good, especially the missing divider. Also +1 on the beads as they do a great job with minimal effort.

I don't have much issues with jars and such. I think living in Nevada or Utah like Remo we don't normally require two way humidification. Not sure about DFW area as to their average humidity.

:tuSmart move showing a pic with a bunch of sticks in it already. Guys around here love pics of empty humis
