Though My Wife Learned to Love the Coolers...
 

...today I brought home this baby!!!

It actually was given to me by my Father who had picked it up at an auction house a few years back (for $200, can you believe that) A few weeks ago he and my stepmother decided they were going to sell their house and downsize. He had always talked about collecting the inventory to fill the thing but due to his frugal ways would always talk himself out of buying in bulk. Dad noticed I did not share this affliction and decided the humidor would be put to better use by a compulsive cigar horder. Immediately one person came to mind: Me :wo It happened to also be right at my birthday and damn it if I couldn't have dreamed of a better gift.

I couldn't tell who was more excited me or my wife. She really loves the way it looks compared to the assortment of coolers I had stacked around the house and boy I do too!

It came with a humidifier, for which I got new filters, but I am not sure how good a system it is. I am gonna fire it up and see but most likely I will switch to fans and beads. In fact I would love to hear everyone's opinion on how they humidify their cabinets

Here is a picture of the humidifier:

Very Nice ! Happy Bday. My buddy has a humi with a very similar humidifier and it works well might even be the same unit.

Re: Though My Wife Learned to Love the Coolers...
 

Looks a little empty :D

Re: Though My Wife Learned to Love the Coolers...
 

It won't be as soon as is it is seasoned! Always trying to stir the pot...

Re: Though My Wife Learned to Love the Coolers...
 

Sweet, Al!

Re: Though My Wife Learned to Love the Coolers...
 

It is BEAUTIFUL, Albert, congratulations! :D

For humidification, I suggest this....got my new one a couple months ago and it is awesome:

First ones at the top of the page. :tu

Re: Though My Wife Learned to Love the Coolers...
 

That is a beauty. I have to agree with Tom, talk to Bob at Aristocrat and he will hook you up with a great humidification system. He took the measurments for the cabinet I am building, and set me up with a great system, now I just need to finish my cabinet and put it to work.

Re: Though My Wife Learned to Love the Coolers...
 

wow

Re: Though My Wife Learned to Love the Coolers...
 

Simply stunning :tu

Re: Though My Wife Learned to Love the Coolers...

:rLooking through my files I think I may have stumbled upon an address..... hmm yess.... it says albert on it...........:r

Re: Though My Wife Learned to Love the Coolers...
 

nice Al....real nice....have heard good things about the moistaire system, assuming it is still working.

enjoy!!!

Re: Though My Wife Learned to Love the Coolers...
 

That's one heck of a gift!

Re: Though My Wife Learned to Love the Coolers...
 

You are a very lucky man.

Re: Though My Wife Learned to Love the Coolers...
 

Plug in the humidifier and keep an eye on the humidity .. if it stays stable after you get things seasoned, I don't see a need to replace it, spend the money you would have spent on a new humidification system on cigars.

Oh, and congrats, thats just beautiful.

Re: Though My Wife Learned to Love the Coolers...
 

That's just sparktacular!!! I'm sure you and the missus are tickled pink.

Couldn't have happened to a nicer guy.

Re: Though My Wife Learned to Love the Coolers...

:dr That is an awesome gift. Now... make sure to show your dad that you are grateful by filling it to the max :tu

Re: Though My Wife Learned to Love the Coolers...
 

Awesome gift, Al! Don't think you have enough smokes to fill it up, though! Looks like you need another group bomb, Bro!:D:banger

Re: Though My Wife Learned to Love the Coolers...
 

That looks outstanding!!! Congrats man and happy birthday. I can't wait to see it filled up.

Re: Though My Wife Learned to Love the Coolers...
 

wow, what a beauty! congrats!

Re: Though My Wife Learned to Love the Coolers...
 

Tremendous! Nice Cab Albert! :tu

Re: Though My Wife Learned to Love the Coolers...
 

Nice gift. Please post some photos of it filled.

Re: Though My Wife Learned to Love the Coolers...
 

:jd:jd:jd:jd

That's a gorgeous piece of furniture Albert! Enjoy filling it up!

I have an end table humidor and use a combination of passive (Scott's beads) and active (CO) humidification. The CO kind of acts as an automatic bead recharger and having the beads on different levels helps distrbute and stabilize the humidity. Works for me.

Happy Birthday brother!!!

Re: Though My Wife Learned to Love the Coolers...
 

Albert,

That looks lovely. Enjoy. I hope you have a great birthday. Have fun filling that thing up.

Re: Though My Wife Learned to Love the Coolers...
 

My god, man... that thing is friggin beautiful!!!!!!!

Re: Though My Wife Learned to Love the Coolers...
 

Wow! Very nice. Hope you soon post a pic of it filled. :)

Re: Though My Wife Learned to Love the Coolers...

Aces, Albert! :tu

Re: Though My Wife Learned to Love the Coolers...
 

Nice hit by the old man Albert. Don't have one myself so I cannot offer too much advise but man, good luck with it!!

Re: Though My Wife Learned to Love the Coolers...
 

Nice cabinet:tu My wife thought my cooler looked stupid in my smoking room. She TOLD me to buy a cabinet ;)

Re: Though My Wife Learned to Love the Coolers...
 

WOW! That is a beautiful piece of furniture, if nothing else! To know that it would store ALL of my collection makes me very jealous! :dr

Congratulations on a wonderful birthday present! :tu

I have to start looking for something fancy like that... with a setup like that cabinet, my wife might let me keep my sticks in the living room! :D



:dance:

Re: Though My Wife Learned to Love the Coolers...
 

Very nice cabinet!! Maybe we should send a little something along for good old dad as we're helping you fill that thing!

Re: Though My Wife Learned to Love the Coolers...
 

OK after making sure it held RH I started emptying the coolers and snapped a few pics so y'all would not worry about it being empty ;) I still have more to put in there as well.

First IS another empty pic but its just to show the lights

Seems to me yours was awful empty last time I was at your house :hm

Re: Though My Wife Learned to Love the Coolers...

Re: Though My Wife Learned to Love the Coolers...
 

Why would you spread these kind of lies?

You have photographic evidence yours is kinda empty :fu2

Re: Though My Wife Learned to Love the Coolers...
 

Albert ain't lying, Joey hears an echo when he opens his humi.
