New Humi
 

I was watching the tower style humidors over on cbid and I came across a deal I couldn't refuse... I ended up with this humidor delivered cheaper than it costs to purchase it... so its being delivered tomorrow, while I won't be home, my wife will (yes she's ok with it... she even suggested it be put in our dining room as it matches the furniture). My question becomes, does anyone else have anything similar and what tips or tricks for humidity are you using (i.e. oust fans... 2 lbs of beads...etc, weatherstrip the doors....) Thanks for the help in advance!

pound on the top and bottom
1/2 pound on each of the 3 shelves
1/2 pound distributed in every other drawer

Re: New Humi
 

There should be one there... if you don't see it I don't know what happened ;) (yes I edited the post as soon as I realized I hadn't linked the pic).

Re: New Humi
 

Dude, that is really sweet! :tu

Re: New Humi
 

Thanks dom... I went looking for your post and couldn't find it... I thought this conversation had already occurred!

Re: New Humi
 

I have the Tower of Power off CBid. I originally had the Humicare XL (Hydra LG copy) humidification device which I used to season it and then had in for the first couple of months. It wouldn't keep a steady humidity level. Since I've moved it to the basement and switched to 2lbs of Shilala's beads, no other humdifier device has been needed. Rock solid at 67%. I have 1/2lb bags spread through the shelves and drawers. I may have to put the Humicare back in once winter hits and the furnace is kicked on. We'll see.

Re: New Humi
 

Wow!!! That is a sweet looking humidor.

Re: New Humi
 

Steve. Where you been Brother? Great looking tower. Only tip, don rush the seasoning. Give it some time, be patient. In that time figure out what your gonna store and where.

Then fill her up and take some pics!

Re: New Humi
 

Hiding... busy as hell with work and my wife's grandparents both passed away within 10 days of each other.... The filling her up will be a marathon not a sprint... it'll just be nice not to have dig everything out of the cooler to find a stick :D

Re: New Humi
 

That's terrible about your wifes grandparents. I hope everything went as smooth as possible for your family and hers.

I hear ya on the cooler. That is my biggest and most annoying problem, digging something out of one of the coolers.

I wish you the best of luck with your latest purchase!

Re: New Humi
 

Now I know who outbid me.

Re: New Humi
 

Well now you don't have to worry about me anymore ;) This is AT LEAST 3x larger than I think I'll need :-P

Re: New Humi
 

Hey dom, I see that the LG has the ability to add additional fans... does it have a plug for more than one additional fan... (I'm also into computers so I have some fans lying around the house)?

Re: New Humi
 

You need the kit which comes with one fan
You can add 2 additional fans (for 3 total) after the kit
They use the 3 pin molex motherboard connection not the 4 pin PS type

Re: New Humi
 

Nice looking humi!

Re: New Humi
 

Good deal! Looks great! :tu

Re: New Humi
 

Thanks for that! This will make seasoning it much easier!

Re: New Humi
 

What is the shipping running on these monsters?

Re: New Humi
 

Can't wait to see her filled up!! :tu

Re: New Humi
 

That's what I originally thought. Mines probably 2/3 full and I'm already thinking about what my next cabinet might be. :D

Re: New Humi
 

Right now, $249 from CBid, which is up from the $189 I paid last year.

Re: New Humi
 

Yeah $249, but make sure to specifically state you need a liftgate when conversing with the seller b/c they wanted my wife to help unload it when it arrived on a semi.... I simply laughed and told them no way and that if they didnt deliver it where the only involvement my wife had was to make sure it wasnt damaged, I would tell her to refuse delivery.

Re: New Humi
 

was it $250 for shipping as well?

Re: New Humi
 

Yup, they didn't even say anything.. the shipper said something about with their account discount it would only cost them an extra dollar for it. What happened to the walk-in eric? When are we starting that ;)

Re: New Humi
 

WOW! :banger

Re: New Humi
 

Well they would have lost the sale if they hadn't delivered it with a lift gate b/c there is nothing that states that I would have to help them off-load a 235 lb humidor off a semi-trailer in the $249 delivery charge! C'mon for that much the LEAST they could do is get it to my garage... I'll have some buddies over this weekend to man handle into the dining room, if the delivery guy won't... told my wife to slip him a $20 if he does.

Re: New Humi
 

Don't get it...So was the total $500? or did you not have to pay shipping? Not sure the walk-in will work where I want to put it...may end up doing something else.

Re: New Humi
 

it was $550 inc. shipping.

Re: New Humi
 

K..good deal. Now fill it!

Re: New Humi
 

Steve... that is beautiful! :tu Can't wait to see it in your dining room. :D

Good luck and have fun with this great humi!!!!

Re: New Humi
 

:tu

Re: New Humi
 

Lol the fill it part's the most fun :D although, the wife might actually notice ALL the purchases now... "Hey that whole bottom shelf was empty last week...."

Re: New Humi
 

LOL... yea, that's DEFINITELY a major downside of such a nice humi... I think it's probably worth it anyway ;)

Re: New Humi
 

The other down is she may notice Every new box that goes in...

Bad news!

Re: New Humi
 

Its not as heavy as they claim it to be. I moved mine by myself and Ian and I had no problems moving his quite swiftly. If it isn't already there, make sure your wife opens the box and checks the glass before its off the truck, once she signs for it, no recourse for you. :tu

I think I only paid $125 for shipping on mine, although that was quite some time ago.

24 hour rule. If she doesn't notice the purchase within 24 hours, she can't be mad about it.

Re: New Humi
 

Oh I told her to check EVERYTHING on it before signing for it... and I LOVE the 24 hour rule!!! PS Check your texts...

Re: New Humi
 

So the wifey called me and told me this has been delivered... all is well in the glass front world and it doesnt appear to have any nicks/scratches/dings on it. When I get home from Jungle, I'll get some pics of this in my dining room... she told me a nice old man delivered into my hallway and that her and I will position it when I get home... she did say that I misled her as to the size of the humidor... she expected knee high, not taller than her, and I simply laughed and said, welp we can return it but its cheaper to keep it at the return shipping cost :D!

Re: New Humi
 

and here are the pics, although its going to be moved to the other side of the room... Question for chippewa, wheels on or off???

Re: New Humi
 

Nice! :tu

Re: New Humi
 

BadAss!:banger:banger:banger:banger:banger

Re: New Humi
 

Looks great dude! Nice pickup!

Re: New Humi
 

So this bad boy comes with some wheels... I was wondering if anyone else with this actually put them on it to move it around when needed?

Re: New Humi
 

b-e-a-utiful!

Re: New Humi
 

Gorgeous Gigantodor....Gonna go get mine in about 2 hours. (no delivery charge, cuz I have to go pick it up myself)

Re: New Humi
 

I don't have wheels. :td

Re: New Humi
 

Mine shipped with wheels. I didn't put them on.

Re: New Humi
 

I'm worried the wheels will take away from it...

Re: New Humi
 

What, like steal your smokes in the night?

Re: New Humi
 

Just roll 'er on out! :r
