HabanosNJGuy Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 Shaffer22 and zappaFREAK, can I ask how long it took for Bob to complete your humidor? I've been anxiously waiting for an M plus to be finished. Bob quoted me around 8 weeks and it's been about 12 since I placed my order. I don't want to keep bothering him since so many of us here have been keeping him busy. I also would enjoy some pics of your Aristocrats when up and running with your collection in place. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrwhitt Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 Very nice cabinet. @shaffer22 Is the temp control imperative in TX? Moving to Austin myself in the next few months and am worried because my cabinet doesn’t have this setup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That being said, I opted to not go with temp control on mine. So it all depends on how you keep your house conditioned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrwhitt Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 Thank you @scap99 Very good to know. I’m guessing we’ll keep ours no warmer than you. Plus, I won’t put the cabinet ina sunny location. Just happy I can finally get mine out on display. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Hey my friend. I ordered a Aristocrat in June and did not receive till October. Total time was approx 16 weeks I believe. I know he does say turn around is 8-10 weeks but it ended up being much later. I was frustrated but when you receive it, all that goes out the window its beautiful. I rather it just be a more realistic time frame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just prefer to age a little cooler than room temp, and this will help with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What does a humidor like this run ball park? This was about $2,900 all-in. I opted for a more expensive wood and an inlayed top, which added to the price. The most expensive upgrade was the temperature control system. I hope to have this humidor for a lifetime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't go wrong with an Aristocrat He typically dorsnt. I have had 3 aristocrat humidors. The glass unfortunately transfers too much of the cold and the coolers run much more than they should. That is assuming the ambient temp in the room is vastly different than the desired humidor temps. Which most are. But hopefully the OP will have decent luck.

According to Bob, the coolers can do about 15-18 degrees Fahrenheit below ambient with glass doors. I need about half that, so I don’t expect any problems, especially since it will be out of direct sunlight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GotaCohiba Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 Personally, I love the glass door option What's the purpose of such a fine collection if I can’t see it every time I pass the cabinet 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since I outgrew my "lifetime" humidor that I bought from him previously I will be ordering another one shortly. This time though I intend to pick it up just so I can wander through his shop in amazement. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philc2001 Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 That looks like a really nice setup, a work of art. If you can share, what is the source of humidification control? I see the fans and what looks like dual tanks at the bottom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
