Aristocrat questions

DennisP · 03-22-2011, 04:03 PM

I can only help on question 1 from my Mini Tall and find his estimates to be on the conservative side. I've got as many boxes as he said could fit currently in there and have room to grow. Obviously it depends on the size of the cigars you smoke and the packaging.

I'd rather have wider than deeper as I find it easier to access the cigars that are up front. If you go deep (or even not very deep) go with the rollout shelves.

Bob does great work!

Jonumberone,

1. I find his rating capacity to be fairly accurate. That being said you will be stacking singles 5 or 6 deep to reach his rating on the singles shelves. Boxes look to be fairly accurate as well with a little box tetris. That being said thats just a guestimate on my part.

2. So far I have just been using his set and forget system. I think in areas where high humidity is an issue you might want to consider beads. The set and forget system can only add humidity to the equation not take it away.

3. You can definitely hear the fans although they don't bother me. Thats going to boil down to a personal opinion.

4. I have the Aristocrat end table option. Right now (and hopefully in the future) this is plenty big enough for me. I could have gone larger but I was upgrading from a 100ct humidor (ok... well there was a tupperdor in the equation for awhile).

I absolutely love my Aristocrat (you can see pictures on the "let's see your humidor" thread). I have never heard anyone say otherwise. Bob is great to work with. Every time I've called him he's answered the phone personally. His workmanship and quality are fantastic as well. One of the most important things to me in any purchase I make is quality. Thats why I chose Bob and Aristocrat Humidors. You'll be surprised how heavy the thing is. If I can be of any help don't hesitate to ask and good luck with your purchase. You'll love it, Dan
