Default New 300 ct. Humidor

300 boxes, maybe.

Picked up my new humidor yesterday. I knew it was big, but I was still a little shocked when I saw it in person. Wouldn't come close to fitting in my Explorer. Luckily I brought the trailer hitch caddy and a LOT of rope. 125 mile trip back to my house at 45 miles an hour made for a relaxing time to smoke a few cigars.

Overall it looks to be grade A on the inside and grade B on the outside. All the shelves were there and in great shape. There is an electrical receptacle at the bottom of the humi to plug in an active humidification system and a switch for presumably the lights. Looks like damn good craftsmanship inside. A few scratches on the outside here and there but no biggie.

A couple things: It came with a Moist-n-Aire that looks to be in pretty good shape. I'm going to give it a chance to prove itself before I spend money on a different system. I'm going to put new weatherstripping at the edges where the glass doors seal. They slide quite nicely and seem to seal pretty damn good but the weatherstripping looks old. Quick $5 fix. Also, it has lights in the top that shine down through a (currently broken) translucent tile like you'd see in any drop ceiling. Not sure what I'm going to do with this. Guess I should see how hot the lights feel when on for a bit. I could easily seal up the top and go with no light, but if it the light doesn't run too hot (not like I'd leave it on for more than a minute or two anyway) I'll leave it as is. I also need to get the lock mechanism replaced as this one came with no keys.

Here's what I am starting with. Hope to have it in the house and plugged in and stabilizing in a few days.

pics in next post.

That's a nice looking humidor! You're so far down the slope I think I need binoculars to see you!

Nice. Old B&M shop cabinet?

If heat is an issue with the lights, you can always go to LED.

Moist-n-Aires work fine, you just need an external hygrometer to set them as the dial numbers can be deceiving. Depending how long it was in use & sat, you might want to pull the top and look inside the tank for any growth and check the float. The company is very good about replacement parts (if needed) too.

Yep, going to test the lights out and I bet I end up switching to LED while it's still in the garage and easier to work on.

All my cigar boys (don't have Adam's number) bailed so I took my oldest daughter. With all the things she has going on it was a wonderful way to spend the day together chatting.

Nice brother...I'd switch to LED and make sure it says out of any room with too many windows. You don't want the sun shining directly onto that baby.
