Finally upgraded

Many years ago I had purchased a decent size humidor for myself while going through Rota. All hand made, with a simple skeleton key lock.

It has served me faithfully for about 15 years and holds about 250 to 300 cigars.

But more recently I find myself needing more space and running out of room.

I thought to myself "Self, obviously you aren't smoking enough!"

But then I went back and saw that I'm spending about double on stogies that I used too and storing a lot of them for longer for more flavour and letting them "settle" more than I used to as well. In other words, I'm getting finicky.

It was time brethren. Time for change. Time for something new. So I decided to let Beyonce upgrade me.

Behold the new Humidor!
I know a few members here have this model and had been looking at it for a few years. Most of the data I had seen said it either seals great or seals awful (as is true of most humidors I reckon) but the prime culprit most folks seem to say is the outlet.

So I siliconed the outlet, put a light bead around most the seams and I'm letting it dry currently before I put my old Oasis in there to bring it up to humidity.

Looking forward to having more moving room in the old cigar case finally!
