My Winefridge/Humidor Rant

[Bartolomeo]

[quote=themoneycollector;599414]As others have said, it really depends on where you live and if you need both temp and humidity controlQUOTE]

Spot on!

Temperature control is essential is the warmer climates to prevent beetles, mold, etc

1. I think the Vinos are great for the money and for the entry level smoker wanting a little more than a standard desktop humidor with added temp control.

2. It took me forever to set mine up b/c I am anal about getting it just right, but my Vino rocks at 65* and 63-65%RH, look at my Vino project thread and you will see how crazy I am trying to get it perfect

3. I was told the Vino wouldnt be big enough early on and I laughed.....now I see what they were speaking of 400+ cigars later......

4. SilverFox makes great points and is absolutely correct, only thing is for the warmer climates, temp control is a must, something coolers can't provide

5. My next step is an Aristocrat, but thats way down the road for me since a temp controlled Aristocrat will run you about $4K roughly

6. I am expecting my order from Chas in the next 2-3 weeks and that should add some excitement to my Vino currently

Bottom line, if you need temp control, Vino is a great choice which no cooler can provide.....I wish I had a basement or a garage where I didnt have to plug my Vino in

Respectfully,

Bart

PS- Plus it was kind of fun farting around with the set up, gave me a chance to me some cool cats here
