New Walk-In Humidor

[tonylupo]

I'm am really excited, recently I've started a basement remodeling project. One of the improvements is a 33 square foot walk-in humidor. I am posting pics to show the progress and will be sure to post more as completion gets closer.:ss The floor is slate .. monday we start to install the cedar... i'll keep you posted.

[ChicagoWhiteSox]

looking forward to those pics:ss

[Ace$nyper]

omg...

This is awesome already.

[tonylupo]

got a few up on the site..

[Agent11br]

This looks kick ass! I look forward to the future progress shots!

Welcome to the Asylum! There are a lot of guys from MI on here!

[ChicagoWhiteSox]

nice:ss

[AllOGistics]

Looks good so far. I can't wait to see it filled.

[Kreth]

I love these threads. It's cool seeing something like this come together.

[Footbag]

Very cool! You will be spared the "Too Small" joke... For now!:ss

[karmaz00]

thats awesome already

[mi2az]

I am just amazed at you guys. I was looking to get a humidor that holds 50 or so cigars and getting teased. But you guys just take it over the top. One of your members mentioned he has around 1200 sticks. This thing looks like it would hold 10 times as much.

[zmancbr]

Nice looking start. I can't wait to see it with some stick in it! :D

[roughrider]

That's going to be nice.

[cigardude]

simply amazing... will there be a smoke room built right beside this lovely humidor? :D

[HK3-]

Off to a good start I see! This will be fun to see as it progresses!

Definately lots of MI folks on here... I think this summer we should be due for a big herf. :D

[boonedoggle]

sweet!

[SmoknTaz]

This is going to be sweet!

[skullnrose]

Looks great already!

[tonylupo]

the whole basement is a designated smoking area... and there will be a 75 gallon salt water tank next to the humidor, more pics to follow of course.. my wife is an angel - she is totally onboard with the humidor i just dont smoke cigars upstairs- but with the setup downstairs it's no biggie... Tony

[groogs]

Looking Good.

[MedicCook]

Looks go so far. Can't wait to see more picks as you progress.

[ca21455]

Looks great so far! Your doing much better on your progress then me. Looking forward to the final product, maybe I can steal some of your ideas! ;)

[Pat1075]

That is awesome I can't wait to see how this progresses.

[sli38]

Very Nice!!

[pit bull]

WOW....Thats really nice!!

[mosesbotbol]

When's the party?

[Tapewormboy]

My guess is that it'll be filled in a month. ;)

[tonylupo]

The party will be ASAP and it prob will be filled in less than a month lol ... stay tuned to monday & tuesday, new pics of the tongue and grove cedar going up... i cant wait..

[TimS]

Looks good, Tony. Looks like the guy building it does good work.

[rizzle]

Awesome! :dance:

[Bax]

I love these threads!:ss

[tonylupo]

Well we have some cedar up, only one more wall to go and the door and shelving.... it's getting closer... Tony :ss

[karmaz00]

wow looking awesome. keep up the great work

[Bax]

Is that the aromatic cedar? If so, it tends to get infused with the cigars. You may want to put a coupe coats of poly over the wood to keep that from happening.

Looks awesome!

:tpd:That looks like actual cedar, spanish cedar, the kind used in most humidors, is actually a type of mohogany. It is used because of it's ability to absorb excess moisture, repels cigar beetles, and has a nice gentle smell. If it is Aromatic Cedar make sure that you seal it up or your cigars will take on the cedar smell and flavour to a large extent that will have everything tasting similar.:2

The room sure does look pretty. I like the tile for the floor. What kind of door are you putting on it?

[chippewastud79]

Looks very sweet thus far. :tu

Are those LED lights or halogen? I hope they don't add too much heat to the space.

[Agent11br]

kick ass!

[Boss Hogg]

Wow! Tony you are going to have a pretty sweet set up there. Can't wait to see the finished product.... lots of pics :ss

[Chompers]

Can't wait to see the finish pics!

[Jbailey]

Looking good Tony, Brian is doing a fantastic job down there. I know I will be at your grand opening party.

I say we shoot for a big mid MI herf in the summer.

[Pat1075]

Looking good.

[scooter]

That looks fantastic!

[hanomag85]

can't wait to see the result when it is finished.

awesome my friend!!!!!

Hanomag

[tonylupo]

Thanks for all the feedback from everyone... We're putting a full glass storm door on the entrance- the cedar is the same stuff that is in all the humidors at Timothy's Fine Cigars in Bay City Mich. I've never noticed any cedar that got infused in the cigars but thanks for the tip I'll mention it to the builder... Tony

[Jbailey]

Come on Tony, would like to see a pic of the shelves all done.

[michael88n]

Very cool! You will be spared the "Too Small" joke... For now!:ss

Can we start with the "He must be compensating for something" jokes now?

Kidding. I'm jealous as hell.

Cheers,
Michael

[Nimbus]

Nice looking walk-in humi. Looks big enough to accommodate a large collection. :)

[tonylupo]

Finally some pics of the shelving, i'll be starting to humidify it soon, i'm just waiting for the drywall to be closer to completion.

[AllOGistics]

It's looking good. I can't wait to see it filled!

[Chemyst]

Very, very impressive.
Git r done, and give her a good workout!

Chemyst :cool2:

[Darrell]

Looks good man. I hope you have enough smokes to fill it up, otherwise that's a lot of wasted space.

[King James]

[Sailchaser]

[Volusianator]

Tony what kind of wood did you use on the walls?

[troutbreath]

That is really beautiful! Thanks for sharing.

[Drat]

That room to the right (as seen through the window), is that a smoking lounge?

Awesome set-up though.

[Winnie]

I'm looking to do the same sort of thing with an existing closet, you find the storm door is a good enough seal?

[DocLogic77]

Yeah...I would love to know what kind of wood that is...what kind of vapor barrior you used and did you treat or stain the wood?

[Bubba - NJ]

In my best Peyton Manning impersonation voice "That is SWEET!" :tu

[steelheaderdu]

Very well done! I'm jealous.

[BC-Axeman]

Very nice. The fish tank was a great idea.

[mash]

Looks beautiful. You're going to be able to get a ton of sticks in there. Can't wait to see more pics.

[tonylupo]

Where's the cash register? Looks like a store!

[e-man67]

Holy hell! That is outstanding work! Well done! :tu

[3inst3in]

Nice looking walk-in ... It's bigger than alot of cigar store's humidors I've been in.

[Humidor Minister]

I think it should be politely refered to as a personal walk in B&M.

[WildBlueSooner]

Freakin awesome...I would be lying if I said I was not super jealous!

[G G]

Freakin awesome...I would be lying if I said I was not super jealous!

That could cost someone a years salary filling up.

[Flat4boxer]

Holy cow!!!! Nice! :wo

[Bartolomeo]

Great thread!

Bart

[Salvelinus]

[SmokeyJoe]

Congrats on a job well done. Hope you are enjoying it! :ss

[longknocker]

[gbum]

[Tripnastic]

That's absolutely amazing!:dr

[Nimbus]

Congrats on the walk-in humidor Tony! Looks awesome! :ss

[Pauly Walnuts]

This is one of if not the most epic things i have ever seen in my life.

[Namerifrats]

Very nice!! Makes me wanna build one! Then again, the area I have sectioned off for a build project will be my smoking room. hmmm.....could always make the smoking room with a small humidor closet...lol

[ProBe]

Awesome job!!!

Enjoy

[Tripnastic]

I am in awe. The only thing I've ever seen that even compares is a friend who did a wine cellar in a similar style.

[s15driftking]

Looks unreal!

I have a question; What are tose singles trays in the middle up top? Looks awesome, where did yuo find those?
