Default Cabinet Arrangement?

Probably a stupid question as long as I’ve been here , finally have a cabinet and I’m wondering is it safe to put boxes in front of the humidifier outlets? I have them as far forward away from the outlets, am I asking for mold on those boxes?

I’m assuming you mean a mechanical humidifier with a fan? If so, the air coming out is probably very high humidity. So, mold or no mold, the cigars close to the outlet will be more humid.

Have you got a little hygrometer? Put it in the spot you are wondering about and see what it says.

Ah smart man

I do have a desktop fan inside, bottom shelf, to help circulate air. I run it on low for 6hrs every weekend.

Honestly I just tend to cram things in. I pretty much use the FILO method. I'm not really 100% sure what's on the lower shelves anymore as I tend to smoke off the top shelf. And not the best photo but too lazy to get the good camera out.

Ha took me second to figure out FILO. You need to front-n-face some of your boxes too. I’m trying to make the cabinet as organized as possible even though there’s no windows to it. Just an ocd thing of mine but I’m almost to the point of f it. Alphabetical and by date.

Nice cabinet

That is one nice cabinet. What brand is that?

Thick cedar, looks well sealed.

Mine leaks like a sieve which meant I had to add magnetic door clamps and gasketing. I still need to fix the rear entry AC port and then probably the best I can do. Much better then shipped.

It's an Aristocrat. I've had it for 14 years now and it's performed superbly. Bob truly built quality cabinets.

This. Also, you could put sealed boxes closest to the humidifier. Or put some type of barrier (a sheet of cedar from a box of CCs) against the sides of the humidifier to channel the humidified air a little bit.

Just some ideas. I got a cabinet earlier this year and it's been a learning experience for sure.
