Fantastic, and beautiful creation… Thanks for sharing. While my passion is for these sterile and highly controlled humidors, there is something about these lovely wooden creations that just really ch

He's still in the prototype stage - more to come, if I read his posts on the German forum correctly. If you're really interested, just contact him through his website "Kontakt"

So in 2012 I decided that I need a real humidor.

Something that will relieve my boxes from the airtight containers where they have been previously kept.

I got an offer from a passionate cabinetmaker located in stuttgart (schwaben-humidor.de).

The Humidor is made from solid sapeli mahagoni wood, using real cedar wasnt an option because it can smell real heavy sometimes.

My goal was a humidor that is almost airtight with a passive humidification (turned out I don't really need that much humidification since the solid wood is a pretty good buffer) for long term ageing. I placed the humidor in my cellar where the temperature is kind of stable (14-22°C/57-72°F) and so is the humidity, between 65 and 69%. Since its all wood the humidor reacts very well to differences of humidity and acts as a buffer.

I added a few things over the time like a fan for air circulation, some LED lights with a switch connected to the door and 2 trays for singles.

If you think that is big think again, in 2014 it is full and I need to store in lock&lock boxes again..sight, its able to contain around 150 boxes.

enjoy, cheers.

Amazing, thank you for sharing!ok.gif

Great job. So tempted to take some Wood Shop classes at the local Vocational school just to learn how

to build my own humidors. They have night classes and I remember it only costing a few hundred bucks.
