My Winefridge/Humidor Rant

The Poet · 10-15-2009, 03:24 PM

I have used cheap plastic tubs for my pricinpal long-term storage for years, using old buttertubs with florist foam as humidification, plus a half-dozen inexpensive desktop humidors for short-term and easy-access, and for reconditioning prior to consumption. I've had no problems, despite my locale in New Jersey, where temps and ambient bounces from one extreme to the other during the year's course. I have no Vino experience, having neither the space nor the funds. Yet I do know this - had I both of these, I would use my Vino for - guess what - vino. My cabernets are as vital as my cigars. Just

, and worth every penny.

My

worth is that the perfect solution has not been discovered and if it does exist it is in the thousands of $ and very large but talking to the local B&M they fight humidity issues all the time too in the walk-in so what the hell the vino seems to be one of several good solutions for a fairly large quatity of stix at somewhat of a reasonable price. I have had mine up and running for about 4 months and it is serving me very well with little maintenance now but it took a month or more to reach that point. Patience with cigars no matter what particular element you are dealing with - no instant gratification. Also they are just cigars and a percent or two or a degree or two are not going to make a damn bit of difference in the real world.
