The history of my humidors

How about some pics of the cabinet now?

Evolving is a great thing.

That is one awesome thread. I especially like the genesis photo of the cello bag!

I too have a foot locker and love it. I am in the process of converting a small closet into a humidor so will let you know how that all works out.

My cigars are a little camera shy

, but if you are ever in the Central Connecticut area feel free to stop by and I'll gladly show you my filled humi.

Central CT?!?! Interested in a HERF when Azon opens in Agawam MA (right over the CT line)? Nice looking cabinet!

Nice Pics.
Central CT MA herf? I'd love to meet up. Please let me know or post it in the herf board. Thanks!

I listened to my fellow BOTLs and went from a 20ct to a Vino.. don't regret it at all.

Nice write-up.

I made the same progression pretty much, wish I would've bought my cabinet to begin with.

Great post, and EXCELLENT advice....

anyone thinking they might be interested in storing more than a dozen cigars, consider Stevierays advice concerning coolers.... cheaper than a small desk top, easier to maintain, and can usually handle the desent down the slope for a year or so ( unless your screen name is Addiction, anyone seen Brian around the asylum), by the time you out grow a large cooler you'll know if a nice cabinet is something you want to invest in.

I've been keeping my eye on the Azon blog.

I would love to get together for herf there when the lounge is complete.

My story is so close to the same... First I had the 'bag' and would only have 4cigars at a time... Then a 20 ct humidor, then a 50 ct humidor, then one and another 150/200 ct humidor. I got to the point the humi's had their own theme and all were quite stocked.

Then came the Cabinet which I thought I would never ever fill up. Now overflow is back in one of the old ones.

A man after my own heart. I went through the same thing.

Started smoking December 2006 when a coworker gave me a cigar

December 2006 - 150 Count Desktop

February 07 - Vino #1

April 07 - Vino #2

August 07 - 50QT Cooler

January 08 - 100QT Cooler

May 08 - 120QT Cooler

October 08 - Walk in/ Stand In
