Aristocrat Mini Tall
 

About to pull the trigger on an Aristocrat Mini Tall. This size will work very well for me in the future giving me plenty of room to grow my collection.

What I'm leaning towards now:
-Dark red mahogany
-Glass door
-Replace singles shelf with full extension shelf for boxes, giving me two full extension shelves
-No humidification, will use beads for this size

Debating on adding the base molding for another $100.

For those that own the mini or mini tall, is there any advice you can give, things you like I'm not considering or things you would do again?

Who are you and what did you do to the real Dennis?! :r

Re: Aristocrat Mini Tall
 

Just have more time on the boards these days. ;)

You should have seen me back on the CS days before you came along.

Re: Aristocrat Mini Tall
 

Jealous again. I'm working my way there. Congrats brother.

Here's a pic of my mini tall I had Bob build a year ago, my only regret is I wished I had gone bigger! Other than that I love it!!!

I have the mini tall in the black lacquer just like the one on Bobs site. I love the two full extension shelves, I use 2 trays that stack well for the singles. I think I have 1 1/2lbs of Scotts (shilala) beads and 1 oust fan. Yep, it's overkill with the beads :D

- I have seen one in the dark red mahogany, it looks fantastic.
- Glass or no glass.... good luck with that decision
- You can't go wrong with the extension shelves
- Beads are good

Base molding... with some of those other options and the molding you might look at the end table cabinet

Re: Aristocrat Mini Tall
 

Thanks guys.

Base molding was the only option that cost (well, I suppose the Tall cost too).

I ended up placing the order, added the curved base molding and went with glass door. Now for the wait...

I feel your pain, Dennis! :banger

I can understand why you'd drop off after mini-Gerry came on board :r

The whole ordering thing is complicated since you can't take a look at things in person. I think that yours will be a stellar setup. Are you going for clear glass or frosted or etched or ... ?

Re: Aristocrat Mini Tall
 

Clear glass. I can't help from always looking at my cigars, at least this keeps the humidity in. ;)

we actually talked about yours, he was very proud of it.

Re: Aristocrat Mini Tall
 

I can see that. Clear glass will definitely help with keeping the humidity in, but will it help you from smoking them too fast? :D

I can't wait for it to be delivered on Monday. I don't think that I'll get any work done on Monday afternoon.

Re: Aristocrat Mini Tall
 

Holy crap, just got a Fedex email saying it's been picked up from Bob for delivery. That was fast!

Re: Aristocrat Mini Tall
 

Congrats, Dennis! I have no doubt that it is a thing of beauty. :tu

Re: Aristocrat Mini Tall
 

Congrats! Bob does not fk around...

NICE:xxx

Re: Aristocrat Mini Tall
 

False alarm. It got here today but turned out to be a regular Mini instead of the Mini Tall like ordered. Talked with Bob and hoping my new one will be here next week.

Re: Aristocrat Mini Tall
 

New one supposed to be here Wednesday :)
