Re: My xmas present to myself - Cabinet Humidor!
 

Very nice! I saw one of these on c-bid this week and was trying hard not to put in a bid (the $300+ shipping charged helped me resist ;) ).

Re: My xmas present to myself - Cabinet Humidor!
 

Really? I checked cbid for comparison's sake and saw shipping at $185...

Re: My xmas present to myself - Cabinet Humidor!
 

-edit-

Err, nevermind.

Re: My xmas present to myself - Cabinet Humidor!
 

I got mine just like that off cbid, shipping was $185.

Sweet humidor, I really like mine. I have the moistenaire and about 4lbs of beads in it.

Gotta be careful with the moistnaire and make sure to change the water at least once a month. Plus mine went nuts on me and just turned itself on for a whole day without me noticing. Humidity was 97% and I had water dripping down the glass. So just keep an eye on it to make sure the humidity control is working. ;) Nice score. :ss

Re: My xmas present to myself - Cabinet Humidor!
 

I may be thinking of the larger 5,000 cigar capacity cabinet. I was looking at that too. :ss

Either one of those would probably get me divorced though. :D

Re: My xmas present to myself - Cabinet Humidor!
 

hopefully, when I get home tomorrow, I'll be able to fill it up. I'm so stoked to see it full!!

Re: My xmas present to myself - Cabinet Humidor!
 

Yeah, I'm going to have to swing by and check it out... you know, to make sure it's all well and good.

Re: My xmas present to myself - Cabinet Humidor!
 

Wow! That's a gorgeous cabinet! :dr I'd love to have something like that, but considering the condition of my wallet after Christmas, I wouldn't be able to afford to fill it up after I got it! :(

I guess it's cool-a-dors for me in the forseeable future... ;)

Kudo's to your lovely wife!! :tu


:dance::dance::dance:

Re: My xmas present to myself - Cabinet Humidor!
 

I think I might be more excited to see it filled up than you are. :D

Re: My xmas present to myself - Cabinet Humidor!
 

Nah... it's full of all those nasty habano cigars you can't stand... :r

Re: My xmas present to myself - Cabinet Humidor!
 

Does it still smell like Tommy Chong's underwear or what, Dan?

Re: My xmas present to myself - Cabinet Humidor!
 

No D, but it's got a bunch of boxes in it now... Pics in a bit or so, I'm beat from driving around all weekend. :tu

Re: My xmas present to myself - Cabinet Humidor!
 

OK... for fun, here's a pic dated 6/8/07... it is of my first humidor:

Re: My xmas present to myself - Cabinet Humidor!

Re: My xmas present to myself - Cabinet Humidor!

Well done for yourself!!!

Re: My xmas present to myself - Cabinet Humidor!
 

Dood, that is killer sexy. I bet you're about to pee yourself. :D

Re: My xmas present to myself - Cabinet Humidor!
 

:tpd: I don't think I have enough boxes to even fill 2 of those selves, not to mention the drawers! :D I may have to grease the slope a bit.... :r


:dance::dance::dance:

Re: My xmas present to myself - Cabinet Humidor!

Re: My xmas present to myself - Cabinet Humidor!
 

Yeah, mine doesn't seem to know when to shut off... I need to salt test my hydrometers to make sure I'm not crazy. I just changed the batteries in all of them so they may be wrong.

Re: My xmas present to myself - Cabinet Humidor!
 

bad arse brother!

looks great dan, congrats!

Re: My xmas present to myself - Cabinet Humidor!
 

The hydrostats on moistnaires aren't at all accurate. They aren't really meant to be. We use the same kind in manufacturing applications cause they're "good enough".
If you take the little cover off and clean all the dust and spooge off the bimetal with alcohol and qtips they're a lot more reactive, even if not all that accurate.
That means the "swing" may only be 10% from start to stop rather than 20%. That'd get you more in the ballpark, at least.
We're used to beads and as such, we expect the RH to be rock solid at whatever%.
Moistnaires don't work like that. At all. :)
If that doesn't make sense I can explain it a little better. :tu

Re: My xmas present to myself - Cabinet Humidor!
 

Wow, yours looks a lot neater than mine. :tu I have cigars falling out whenever I open the door. :ss

Re: My xmas present to myself - Cabinet Humidor!
 

Very nice - I've been needing a cabinet humidor for a long time, but i need one that is also temperature controlled.
Unfortunately the ones I've seen are just too $$ :(

Re: My xmas present to myself - Cabinet Humidor!
 

"Movin' On Up"! Nice, Dan! When's the next party?:D

Greg

Re: My xmas present to myself - Cabinet Humidor!
 

Nice collection Dan!! Got room for one more?

Re: My xmas present to myself - Cabinet Humidor!
 

Come on over, guys!

:)

Re: My xmas present to myself - Cabinet Humidor!
 

I'm coming over smoking all the stuff in drawer #2. :dr

Re: My xmas present to myself - Cabinet Humidor!
 

Very Very Nice Dan!!!

Re: My xmas present to myself - Cabinet Humidor!
 

Wow. Just . . . wow. I thought that cabinet looked great empty. Full . . . wow.

Re: My xmas present to myself - Cabinet Humidor!
 

Hey there Dan
sorry to say, but that cab is too small!

seriously, it looks beautiful, I love the way a glass front displays the boxes. It is very elegant, and I take away a sense pride and tradition.

very , very nice

Re: My xmas present to myself - Cabinet Humidor!
 

Damn that is a sick find man! More pics asap!

Re: My xmas present to myself - Cabinet Humidor!
 

damn that is a nice humidor with even nicer cigars.

Re: My xmas present to myself - Cabinet Humidor!
 

I'd like to find some kind of 'refrigeration unit' or something in order to keep the cabinet at a specific temp. Any suggestions?

Re: My xmas present to myself - Cabinet Humidor!
 

You will need to perform some surgery on your cabinet but your only real option is to install some form of ThermoElectric cooler...

A local guy built a custom cigar cabinet and he ripped apart a Coleman cool/warm cooler to scavenge the THC out of it... it works well but his cabinet is about 1/2 size of yours...

I'm looking at modding my compressor-based wine-cooler with a THC from a Coleman cooler... I would like to minimize the humidity swings...

Re: My xmas present to myself - Cabinet Humidor!
 

Dayum ! Was your wife aware of all those boxes in hiding ? Mine knows I have a cooler in the basement but I'm pretty sure she has no idea how many cigars are hiding inside it . :ss

Re: My xmas present to myself - Cabinet Humidor!
 

very nice

Re: My xmas present to myself - Cabinet Humidor!
 

She just shook her head and sighed (good-naturedly). I think it was (is) more of a shock to me. I've never seen all my boxes in one place before... it's awesome, but I keep catching myself just standing in front of it and staring... :r

Re: My xmas present to myself - Cabinet Humidor!
 

Dan-
Thats a beauty-I have the same Power Tower but yours is a lot neater ;)-My stuff falls out every time i open the door -nice selection

Re: My xmas present to myself - Cabinet Humidor!
 

Get some Super Absorbant Polymers (www.watersorb.com) and you'll have no problems with water spillage. A dash of grain alcohol and you'll never have mold.

Re: My xmas present to myself - Cabinet Humidor!
 

Awesome cab, looks great. I think I'd have to buy my wife a Jag to get something like that in our house.

Re: My xmas present to myself - Cabinet Humidor!
 

that sure is pretty.

Re: My xmas present to myself - Cabinet Humidor!
 

Been meaning to check in and see how's it all going then I see this thread. Doing very well I see.

Congrats Dan

Re: My xmas present to myself - Cabinet Humidor!
 

Congrats Dan, great looking humi.

Re: My xmas present to myself - Cabinet Humidor!
 

Thanks guys... that is a few weeks old so there's a couple more boxes in there now :)
