New cabinet humidor ordered FINALLY
 
I know I talked about this last year but well life gets in the way of things, you know how that goes.

Anyway the wife surprised me last night but ordering me the Tower humidor in black from cheaphumidors.com and the Hydra LG.

Awesome wife I have I must say, she's a keeper.

Now the wait is killing me. I will post up once it arrives. Can't wait to start filling it up.

Anyone ever add any lights to their humidor cabinets, if so what lighting do you recommend that won't heat up the cabinet too much.

Thanks,

Shawn

Congrats!

I have that same humidor in Oak. It's does it's job well. I had to make a few modifications as I'm super-picky about my RH being steady and even throughout, but it's a great humi for the price and size. :tu

If you're going to add lights, make sure you use LEDs to cut down on the heat.

That's what I was thinking, something like a small puck at the top. Thanks for the tip.

Anyone remember how the shipping worked from them on a cabinet this size, was it a call from a freight company.

How long generally did it take before you knew it shipped.

Sorry laptop keyboard is jacked, thus no question marks.


Thanks

Thanks guys. Per the Cheaphumidors rep it should ship tomorrow. Now how long to baltimore dammit :)

Haven't been this excited since I bought my first M4.

A friend of mine has the same humi...What were the mods if you don't mind me asking ??
He's had his for about 6 years now; and is quite happy with it. The only issue he has to keep the RH high; as the heating/AC vent blows right on the unit.

YAY It will be in Baltimore tomorrow. Can't wait, driving me insane.

Not here yet but I promise pics as soon as it's unpacked. Picked up fan kits and light while I was waiting this morning.

Damn waiting sucks, but you all knew that :D


Not sure it will need mods but if it does I will be sure to post up what I do.


Did I mention waiting sucks.

Showing the interior lighting.

Lighting is a 2ft rope light. Nice dim look.

HAHA Yeah, once seasoned I will have about 6 boxes to put in there and some singles. But part of the fun is filling her up right.

Don't worry Shawn...I'm sure someone around will help you out. I learned the hard way not to post an empty humidor even if seasoning.

I know that game from the old days on CS. No one even knows who I was over there and no one has my addy on this board. Plan on keeping it that way.:D

I'm safe bro.

:tpd::tpd::tpd::tpd::tpd:

I also learned the hard way about posting pics of empty humi's. You should probably reinforce your mailbox.

Awesome looking humi - Congrats !

Looks like you'll be needing to order a new mailbox now though...

So far the humidity is building up nicely. The door does close tightly but I noticed some light across the top so I ran some weather stripping on the cabinet so the door rests against it when closed. Problem solved and you can't see it when the door is closed.

I tell you though waiting for a cabinet this size to season is a killer :sad
