My xmas present to myself - Cabinet Humidor!
 

Here's what I got myself for Christmas... :D

http://lh4.ggpht.com/_HMTVCL3b49c/SV...0/DSCN7925.JPG

Stay tuned to this thread, once I get it ready, I'll put a pic of it full up.

I got a KILLER deal on it and it came with a moist-n-aire (with no foam). I've never used one of these before, but it would be cool if I could mod it to use beads or something...

The only bad thing is that it's previous residence was at a head shop, so it smells a bit like patchouli (which is a scent I detest). I'm hoping that goes away soon so I can fill it with my smokes. Right now the door is open and there's a fan in there... any tips on making the smell dissipate quicker would be appreciated.

One of the coolest things is that when I showed my wife (prior to buying it) her exact words were, "Oh, nice... that's exactly what I was thinking you should get for your cigars... it looks nice!". I adore that woman.

Nobody wants to see it empty, Dan. :tg :D

Re: My xmas present to myself - Cabinet Humidor!
 

Nice score... that is the exact same cab sitting about 6 feet from me right now! :D

Re: My xmas present to myself - Cabinet Humidor!
 

1) SWEET! Great deal.
2) Need to see it full
3) Bout time you stopped slumming it and just understood you needed something like this.

Re: My xmas present to myself - Cabinet Humidor!
 

To get rid of the smell, try putting some Arm & Hammer in there :tu

Re: My xmas present to myself - Cabinet Humidor!
 

Very nice, I think it will be spectacular when full. :ss

Re: My xmas present to myself - Cabinet Humidor!
 

yep, im jealous

Re: My xmas present to myself - Cabinet Humidor!
 

Dan - can your wife talk to my fiancee: PLEASE?

Re: My xmas present to myself - Cabinet Humidor!
 

I'll talk to Grace for you. :D

Re: My xmas present to myself - Cabinet Humidor!
 

Bad idea lol... you are too damn Mean! :r:r:D

Re: My xmas present to myself - Cabinet Humidor!
 

Yeah, a couple boxes of baking soda for a few days should work that stink out. :D

Re: My xmas present to myself - Cabinet Humidor!
 

That's what I keep in my car for those days I smoke in it! :D

Re: My xmas present to myself - Cabinet Humidor!
 

Nice pick up Dan!!!

Re: My xmas present to myself - Cabinet Humidor!
 

Great pick up Mr. Ball. :tu

Re: My xmas present to myself - Cabinet Humidor!
 

Looks better than when you described it to me! I can't wait to see it in the cigar room.

Re: My xmas present to myself - Cabinet Humidor!
 

Really nice.....They are pretty good unit for the money... Can't go wrong with that Cabinet... Should be fun filling her up...

Re: My xmas present to myself - Cabinet Humidor!
 

Nice score Dan! Can't wait to see it up and running... and full of sticks. :ss

Re: My xmas present to myself - Cabinet Humidor!
 

Very nice - I've always liked the way that model looked.

And another vote for baking soda. Stick an open box or two in there for a while.

Re: My xmas present to myself - Cabinet Humidor!
 

Baking soda would work. You could also do quick once-over on the inside with some fine sandpaper. That would get the Spanish Cedar scent going again.


*Just remember to wear a surgical mask while sanding.*





Nice cabinet! :D

Re: My xmas present to myself - Cabinet Humidor!
 

Nice, Dan! Keep us informed, Bro!:)

Re: My xmas present to myself - Cabinet Humidor!
 

Great pickup, Dan! Look forward to seeing it stocked.

Re: My xmas present to myself - Cabinet Humidor!
 

Moving on up! Congrats!!

Re: My xmas present to myself - Cabinet Humidor!
 

I vote for a light ultra fine sanding and baking soda.

Re: My xmas present to myself - Cabinet Humidor!
 

Vey nice, but I think its too small! ;):r

Re: My xmas present to myself - Cabinet Humidor!
 

Nice. What a beautiful Humidor.

Have a Merry Christmas!!

Re: My xmas present to myself - Cabinet Humidor!
 

Congrats Dan!

Looks kinda empty. :hm

Your RH must be way off. :hm

What to do what to do? :hm

Re: My xmas present to myself - Cabinet Humidor!
 

Ha, that's exactly what my wife would say....of course it would be with a completely different tone of voice! :fl

Very nice cabinet, enjoy filling it up.:tu

Re: My xmas present to myself - Cabinet Humidor!
 

:tpd: Probably alot faster way of ridding the undesirable smell , it's the way I would do it . Nice cabinet too .

Re: My xmas present to myself - Cabinet Humidor!
 

Done and done.... thanks for the reminder about the surgical mask. I sanded the entire thing... the full inside, and every tray that came with it. Now there's 4 fridge/freezer boxes of A&H in there and 8 plates with A&H in the drawers. Hopefully when I get back from holiday madness, I'll be able to load it up. Oddly, rh is pretty good in there at the moment.

Re: My xmas present to myself - Cabinet Humidor!
 

We have to wait THAT long? :(

Re: My xmas present to myself - Cabinet Humidor!
 

Congrats and welcome to the next level :ss

Re: My xmas present to myself - Cabinet Humidor!
 

hell yeah, D... I don't want my stash to smell like a head shop. If I did, I'd just save the hassle and go buy a few boxes of acids... :tg


Edit... I have no foam for that moist-n-aire thing... I need to find a way to humidify it. Anyone know of a way to use beads with the moist-n-aire?

Re: My xmas present to myself - Cabinet Humidor!
 

Speaking of rh - maybe it would do to put a couple sponges soaked in distilled water in there (on small plates) while you let it sit and try to get the stink out.

Re: My xmas present to myself - Cabinet Humidor!
 

Wait, what? Where the hell is the foam at? :confused:

Re: My xmas present to myself - Cabinet Humidor!
 

I don't know.... he never gave it to me. :confused::confused::confused:

Oh well, I can prolly get it anywhere (and my buddy's mom works at a greenhouse), or I could find a way to use beads in it. I should check w/ shilala...

Re: My xmas present to myself - Cabinet Humidor!
 

There's no foam in a moist-n-aire.
You just put distilled water in it, cheif. :tu
I tear all that doofy mold foam out of all my hydras and replace it with plain old water.
It works great cause I can rinse out the cartridge every time I mess with the hydras.

Re: My xmas present to myself - Cabinet Humidor!
 

Congrats on the cabinet Dan! Looking forward to the after pictures. :tu

Re: My xmas present to myself - Cabinet Humidor!
 

Nice pick up Dan!!!

Re: My xmas present to myself - Cabinet Humidor!
 

Doh... I should used the google :bh

Re: My xmas present to myself - Cabinet Humidor!
 

That is a great looking cabinet! Congratulations on the purchase, and Merry Christmas!

Re: My xmas present to myself - Cabinet Humidor!
 

Way to go Dan, it looks great. You can even stare at the stash without opening it.

PS Has your wife seen the picture of you and that woman in your avatar?

Re: My xmas present to myself - Cabinet Humidor!
 

Lovely!!!!

JUST PLAIN DAMN LOVELY!!!!
:)
Tom

Re: My xmas present to myself - Cabinet Humidor!
 

That was the point... I can't friggin' wait til it's filled... that moist-n-aire thing got the humidity dead on in about 2 hours.

:r ...Shell got a kick out of that comment, too...

Re: My xmas present to myself - Cabinet Humidor!
 

Dude, just set it outside in the fffreezing temps .....that'll kill anything!! LOL


Nice score bro.......can't wait to see it in person. :D

Re: My xmas present to myself - Cabinet Humidor!
 

Get your ass up here, then... :D

Re: My xmas present to myself - Cabinet Humidor!
 

One of the ones I have is exactly like that. The only difference is mine is full.:r:tg

Re: My xmas present to myself - Cabinet Humidor!
 

Mine will be soon too, Freddy... give it a couple days to air out and I'll load it up. I'm just hoping it's enough room (seriously). If not, I'll still have my old one and a few coolers (although the purpose of getting this was to get rid of the old stuff..........).

:D

Re: My xmas present to myself - Cabinet Humidor!
 

That's the coolest thing to come out of a head-shop since college... :dance:

what were you doing in a head shop anyway??:hm

(patchouli used to smell good)

Re: My xmas present to myself - Cabinet Humidor!
 

puuuurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrty!

Re: My xmas present to myself - Cabinet Humidor!
 

I wasn't in a head shop... I found it on Craigslist. Dude told me he closed his store... I got a damned good deal on this. :D :D :D

And, to me, patchouli never smelled good... :pu
