Who uses Vino Temp 18 ???

[Porch Dweller]

I've got an 18-bottle NewAir. I use three pre-built cedar shelves from cheaphumidors.com. I have Heartfelt beads in bags top, middle, and bottom. I've got six boxes in the bottom now along with a bunch of bags of fivers and singles. Without the bags I could probably do some Tetrising and get another three or four boxes into the bottom (I buy mostly coronas and robustos so you'll obviously get less boxes in there if you buy toros and churchills).

Here's a pic:

Size looks pretty good and like you said - with a bit of tetris I am sure you could put in a few more boxes/sticks.

I was looking at going for a 36 bottle, but I honestly do not see myself ever requiring that much space... (though I didn't think I would fill up a 50CT)

Im thinking with this you could probably fit 250+ sticks?

I recommend going with more than you think you need. I like my 18-bottle vino, but I'd like to have a little more space and will eventually upgrade to a 24-bottle.

Including boxes I've got just over 350 cigars in mine.

IIRC, this is the breakdown:
NewAir AW-181E: $190
Three cedar trays: $35
Two pounds Heartfelt beads and bags: $85

So about $310, plus whatever a couple pieces of electrical tape costs (used to seal off the drain).

I'm on the Gulf Coast and the heat and humidity get pretty high. Even with our home's AC set at 72, from May-October the room in which I keep my cigars gets up to 75 and sometimes higher. So to me it's worth it for the peace of mind.

Once my wife has retired and we've settled down for good I plan on saving up for an Aristocrat. But for now the wineador takes care of business just fine.
