Redsoxnat Posted April 16, 2015 Posted April 16, 2015 I am looking at getting a bigger humidor to store all the prized possessions I keep purchasing from FoH. I want one that is big enough to store boxes in to age but not a tower or something the wife will, well, not allow. I would also prefer it to have electronic humidification if possible. Not a deal breaker though. Let me know some thoughts on the good ones. Pictures welcome. Let's see your storage units.
Popular Post Rye Posted April 16, 2015 Popular Post Posted April 16, 2015 Converted fridge all the way!!! I lined mine with a ton of thick cut Spanish cedar, running an Oasis XLpro and 2lbs Canada Humidor beads for humidity control, and it's rock solid. No need for temp control where I have it, so I removed the guts, but rewired the lights and thermometer. I like the look of it open or closed 21
BBS Posted April 16, 2015 Posted April 16, 2015 I bought a cabinet from Bob Staebell almost eight years ago, and have no regrets. Not the cheapest way to go, but it's a functional and beautiful piece of furniture as well. I'd buy it again, tomorrow. 2
Scroats Posted April 16, 2015 Posted April 16, 2015 I love the fridge. Right now I have 3 ammo cans with a 4th ready to go, a desktop and a rubber maid under bed tub that needs to go. I've been weighing my options for replacement and expansion of the rubber maid tub. Part of me wants a cooler, and another part wants something nicer, which most likely isn't in the budget.
reffy Posted April 16, 2015 Posted April 16, 2015 I have a weathertight container from Iris in which I use litter with Spanish cedar boards.

Have you ever had issues with UV damage?
Rye Posted April 16, 2015 Posted April 16, 2015 Have you ever had issues with UV damage? Nope, the sun never hits the unit. Also this one happened to have UV blocking tint on the curved glass door
iGrizz Posted April 16, 2015 Posted April 16, 2015 Here is my NewAir 180 wineador. Currently have four boxes in it with two on the way. I am running out of room fast lol. On top is a 100 count desktop humidor for all my singles. 1

Hypersomniac Posted April 16, 2015 Posted April 16, 2015 Right now I am using two coolers. I am waiting for my shelves to come from Forest (I knew it would be a wait getting into it). Once I get them a NewAir 281 will be my setup.
cpmurrin Posted April 16, 2015 Posted April 16, 2015 I bought a cabinet from Bob Staebell almost eight years ago, and have no regrets. Not the cheapest way to go, but it's a functional and beautiful piece of furniture as well. I'd buy it again, tomorrow. Agree completely. I have an Aristocrat from Bob as well and its great. Beautiful piece of furniture that the wife actually likes in the right spot in the house. If I was doing it again I would get the temperature control as well. Less to worry about in the summer even in Northern California. 2
Popular Post Habana Mike Posted April 16, 2015 Popular Post Posted April 16, 2015 Not sure what you mean by a Tower? Mine is a large Aristocrat cabinet - MX 25D Holds quite a few boxes and singles but still not big enough 8
Cigar Surgeon Posted April 16, 2015 Posted April 16, 2015 Remington Climate controlled 2 x 500'ish count trunks for long nap Cubans and then a few tabletop humidors (that I need to get rid of and consolidate). 4
avaldes Posted April 16, 2015 Posted April 16, 2015 Winning! I love the burl walnut Mike!! I just use a couple 150qt coolers. One lined with SC, the other plain but VERY effective at regulating temperature. 1
partriar Posted April 16, 2015 Posted April 16, 2015 Currently using a 120L cooler but am in the throws of building a fridge. Going to go for a double glass door commercial fridge with air tight containers and boveda packs.
Popular Post stogieluver Posted April 16, 2015 Popular Post Posted April 16, 2015 Aristocrat, here, too. Love it. 14
Stogieninja Posted April 17, 2015 Posted April 17, 2015 Wine cooler with Spanish cedar drawers/shelves: 2
AbuAmelia Posted April 17, 2015 Posted April 17, 2015 Love my Bob Staebel, also use the Guest Bathroom shower until I figure something out. My wife has had it! 2

Beautiful piece of furniture that the wife actually likes in the right spot in the house. If I was doing it again I would get the temperature control as well. Less to worry about in the summer even in Northern California.I have to agree here. I have had an Aristocrat for 10 years. Had to step away from my beauties for a few years on doctors orders. I have been given the green light again after being off cigarettes for the past 2 year !! Woo hoo...those things are killers. Just recently started getting back into my humidor and I can tell you this much. That Aristocrat keeps them perfect and they are aged to perfection. They aren't cheap but if you can swing it...go for it. Furniture grade and beautiful. I have a Model M.
forgop Posted April 17, 2015 Posted April 17, 2015 I picked this beauty (an aristocrat ) off craigslist last May for $800. It had a few years on it but still was in great shape. I decided to buy a new humidifier as well. The top pic shows how it looked after receiving the first 2 or 3 boxes from El Prez the bottom pic now shows it packed from back to front as it sits today. 4
Habana Mike Posted April 17, 2015 Posted April 17, 2015 Someone^^^ likes the PSD4! Nice box, great get
Franko Posted April 17, 2015 Posted April 17, 2015 Cheap one here lol.. Just got it and finish stocking all the goodies:) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 4
kb20four Posted April 17, 2015 Posted April 17, 2015 Remington Climate controlled 2 x 500'ish count trunks for long nap Cubans and then a few tabletop humidors (that I need to get rid of and consolidate). I've got the same one but the humidity goes way too high with the open humidifier. I use 65% beads instead. 4

cigcars Posted April 17, 2015 Posted April 17, 2015 I have about 18 mid to large size desktop humidors, and my prized one is a Daniel Marshall that can house up to 150 (NOT just coronas!)
