Vinotemp Humidor!

Vinotemp will make a cigar humidor out of most of their wine units.

I have a Vinotemp 300WC with their humidor modification. It's 82 inches tall, 32 inches wide and 29 inches deep. It comes with casters, so it's pretty easy to move around. I bought it in 2005.

For the cigar humidor modification they lined the inside of the unit with Spanish Cedar, put regular shelves made of Spanish Cedar in, and for my size unit, they put in a 2 gallon plexiglass tank with a fan for the humidification. They also installed a drip line from the air conditioner down to the water tank so you don't have dripping anywhere. I replaced their analog hygrometer controller with a digital controller and added a few smaller fans at two locations to even out the humidity.

They are located in So Cal, so I went down and talked to them before I bought it. I was a bit concerned as they make them out of press board which can have problems with moisture. They gave me a tour of the factory and showed me several similar units being constructed. I talked to the woodshop supervisor and he assured me that they seal the cabinet well and he had never had a problem with one of his cigar conversions from moisture. It is a HUGE factory and warehouse! I couldn't believe all of the stuff they make.

I also saved the shipping charges by going down and picking it up when it was ready.

You need to ask for the cigar humidor modification from the factory direct. They don't really advertise that they offer it.

If you have a custom size cabinet or room you want, they can also build to your spec if you want. Pony up the wallet for that though! LOL
