Some accessories used: Dayton 1UHG3 Humidifier Control, 6" fan, timer(8 on/off settings for every day) some metal shelving, and a Stadler Form Aquila Ultrasonic Humidifier.

I tried making this humidor for cheap while still making it so it would do a great job keeping some decent humidity. I didn't want to go the coolidor route or winedor(I outgrew one already).

So is it lined with Spanish Cedar??

Looks pretty crafty...almost like you were making a fridge out of plywood.

Very nice

Josemyname 10-10-2011 01:21 PM

Re: Let's see pictures of your humidors !!
 
the inside is lined with 1/4" solid spanish cedar. Behind that is a moisture barrier, behind that there's the plywood that was painted with mildew/mold resistant paint.It's a bit ugly on the outside but so far everything in the inside is just working wonderfully.

Re: Let's see pictures of your humidors !!
 
I've been using a 100ct desktop and 200ct 7 drawer mini-cabinet quite happily for a couple years, but those humi's didn't offer any ability for box storage and they were full. The full aspect had not been a big issue, the newbiwe slippery slope has come and gone long ago, however since I was going to Cuba for vacation this year I knew it would be an issue after teh trip, plus I'm tired of having to maintain multiple humidors so the last thing I needed was a third.

Looking at my options I came to the conclusion that coolers are great if you have a lot of out-of-sight storage space (I don't) and care only about storage space with no thought for asthetics. Neither of those fit me so coolers are not an option. Wineadors are supposed to be a affordable compromise between the cheap big storage found with coolers and climate controlled cabinet humidors, but we don't usually see great deals on wine fridges in Canada and then you still need to go through a custom drawer and shelf order/build from the US to get the asthetics so a wineadr wasn't really not the greatest option either.

The only real option was to order a lifetime cabinet humidor that would allow for consolidation of my existing humidors as well as absorb my Cuba purchases (which became a bit larger than expected, maybe the slope was still there a little bit :o ). Of course that meant giving Bob at Aristocrat a call so back in mid-July I placed an order for an Aristocrat Mini. During the lag time between ordering and the build a little feature creap took over and what was originally meant to be just a Mini w/ beveled glass and a second singles drawer using my existing Cigar Oasis XL Plus turned into a Mini-Tall in a custom stain (roughly half way between light red and brown mahogany) with beveled glass door, linear DX base, 2 singles drawers, 2 full extension shelves and Bob's Set & Forget system. Because of the changes I made to the order, the build took a little longer than originally quoted but it finally arrived 2 weeks ago, 5 days before my wife and I flew to Cuba.

Like everyone else I've ever heard of ordering an Aristocrat I'm just blown away by the build, attention to detail, level of finish and overall quality of this unit. You do pay a bit of a premium for an Aristocrat compared to some of the other options out there, but you also generally get what you pay for that that's definitely the case Bob's work!

http://www.mithril.ca/aristo/Aristo008.jpg

Unfortunately the box took a knock during shipping, but luckily no structural or cosmetic damage was done to the humidor. The based molding however did not fare so well. A little bit annoying, but as you'd expect Bob it taking care of it. He's just received the broken pieces to colour match the stain so he can now build a replacement base and ship it back to me.

http://www.mithril.ca/aristo/Aristo014.jpg

As I mentioned, this purchase was all driven by the decision to go to Cuba this year for vacation. Well my expected purchase of a couple boxes ballooned a bit thanks to a few good OT checks before the trip. Good thing I ordered the Mini-Tall instead of just the Mini!

Re: Let's see pictures of your humidors !!
 
I left the Aristocrat emtpy and seasoning during the week in Cuba then after getting back from Cuba 2 days ago I finally consolidated my existing humidors into the Mini. Before putting the new boxes into the freezer for a bettle death party cruise I decided to do a test fit. I had been experiencing a little bit of buyers remorse over not also getting a box of Behike 54's to complete the set with the 52's and 56's I did buy, but it's probably a good thing I didn't as it probably wouldn't have fit!

http://www.mithril.ca/aristo/aristo-full001.jpg

Like everyone else has said, if you're ordering an Aristocrat do yourself a favour and spend the little extra on full extension shelves. They make life much much easier!!

That Aristocrat is a sweet setup ! Thanks for detailed shots. Having said that, looks like you should have went with something larger. This cabinet is almost full :)

If you don't mind sharing, what was the final $$$ damage with and w/o S&H. I need to begin to think about what I want mine to look like.

mithrilG60 10-12-2011 08:36 PM

Re: Let's see pictures of your humidors !!
 
The pricing depends entirely on your options and the Mini/Mini-Tall are the only models he ships by FedEx, the rest are big enough that they go by transport company. Total on that configuration was $1,140 including $72 in shipping. For that price I could have gotten a base End Table with no extra options but honestly I don't really need or want any more storage. I usually don't smoke a huge amount, maybe one or two a week in the summer and almost never in the winter, so cigars last me a long time. The 8 boxes I brought back from the trip to Cuba was the first time in over a year I've actually bought anything.

Nice. I'll probably wait a couple years when we build or move and I have a place for one. No room right now or I would have probably already bought one.

Hahah nah I actually think it is ugly but for $99 it would be hard to find something else the size. I say go for it, I just wouldn't put it in my living room:tu Would be a nice to store boxes in though!

ITS WAY UGLY. But, It's better looking than the coolers I am using for storage. Eh, you're right. It's really ugly.

My humble humidor. I generally have a bundle of Casa De Garcia's in the bottom section, but I just ran out last night... so I'm gonna go pickup another bundle in the morning. :)

I got mine as a starter kit from T......n Cigars. The sticks they shipped were HORRIBLE, but the humidor is actually pretty nice, though it is a bit small.

Summer fishing trips have been hard on my stash, no doubt about that. I learned a valuable lesson though... If people ask to come fishing on my boat, *THEY* supply the smokes, I supply the rod, reel & ride. Hard lesson to learn, lemme tell ya!

Did I tell you about my empty humidor? I didn't post it for that sole reason, lol.

I like that it is a little bit taller and my oasis fits on the top self.

the cooler behind it is full and waiting so no funny stuff
