Paul have fun filling your new humi. Have you heard the term " slippery slope " used around here? Because I believe you're on it now, it's one hell of a ride enjoy!

I have the treasure dome and love it. I got it on the devil site for $86 and another friend of mine paid about the same.

That will be the next step, but I'm hoping (rather my wallet is hoping) that the treasure dome keeps me occupied as I try to get a better hold onto that last tuft of grass i'm clinging too...

Telling me to get a vino is like the santa in "a christmas story" when he tells the kid that he'll shoot his eye out, then puts his foot on his head and pushes him down...

Here is a picture for emphasis:

If you lose the auction do yourself a favor and go bigger, maybe not a Vino but larger than a desktop because you will be buying another humi after that one. Trust me, at one point I had four desktops because I kept telling myself I would not outgrow another one. The term Slippery Slope gets thrown around here for a reason. I bought a end table style cabinet that I swore I wouldn't outgrow and thought it would be impossible and guess what? That is filled to capacity and so is one of the desktops that I kept in service thinking I would only use it strictly as a quarantine for smokes that came in from shipping.

My beautyfull humidor with its sad contents. Both the humidor and gurkahs were gifts from my wife. The beads and digital hygrometer were gifts from me to me. It is in the basement on my gun safe holding a steady 65% at 61 degrees.

You're right, its just right now I can't really afford to go bigger, but if I miss out on this one, perhaps I'll wait a bit and save up some money and get something bigger. It just seems that this is the best "bang for my buck" at the moment. Worse comes to worse I can also go to the legendary coolidor!

Damn the slippery slope!

Also, Matthew, BEAUTIFUL cabinet you have there! congrats!

Eric,

Do you use one hygrometer in your Montegue, or do you have two, one in the cabinet and one in the drawer, like I do? Do you find that the rh changes much from the top to the bottom?

Matthew, One of my cabinets is also a Montegue. I know Eric also has one. I love mine and I have 2 hygrometers in mine. One that is part of my Oasis XL II humidifier system that is plugged in the bottom part and one electronic one in the drawer.

I also have the Montegue, I love this humi. I keep a hygrometer in the top drawer and then one on the botom shelf aswell. I found the plug in the back great for putting a fan back there and that will keep the humidity equal in the top and bottom.
