My New Humidor - Filled and Finished

Well guys, here it is, I finally got the levels set. The top is a little higher than the lower half, but it's within the proper range. Added 6 interior lights, a Hydra LG, 2 extra fans, and 3 lbs of 65% beads. It took about 3 weeks to finish, from sanding, seasoning, and adjusting.

Patience was truly the way to go. Don't pay attention to the meters as the cabinet was opened for at least 30 minutes to install the interior lights.

A set of 6 puck lights from home depot...cost $39.99 on sale. However, these are NOT led, but 20w bulb lighting. They can get a little warmer than I like, so I turn them on and open the doors, find what I am looking for and turn them off immediately.

I recommend LED lighting which don't burn very hot.

Re: My New Humidor - Filled and Finished

Your my hero. Thanks for the show.

Re: My New Humidor - Filled and Finished

BE advised, as you guys are so fond of saying, that your cigars will age at an accelerated rate being
exposed like that. You will find that it's out of control and might negatively effect your cigars in a much
shorter time frame than you imagine. Be careful with "air" and cigars............OH, and......freaking awesome!

Re: My New Humidor - Filled and Finished

looks great and you still have plenty of room

Re: My New Humidor - Filled and Finished

Looks gorgeous. Does that window behind it get direct sunlight during the day at all? Just asking as that could possibly cause the temp to rise in the summer months when the sun is directly hitting that side of the house.

Thanks for the warning.:tu

Re: My New Humidor - Filled and Finished

I wish I had all the money I ever spent keeping my CIGARS at the temp they like. Always seemd a little
chilly to me, the person paying the bill. But gotta keep those cigars cool, sheesh. :r spoiled little sticks.

Re: My New Humidor - Filled and Finished

Nice setup, Howard. Glad that you were able to find something to suit your needs and at an incredible price to boot. Kudos to you, sir.

Re: My New Humidor - Filled and Finished

Great looking humidor, Howard :tu

Re: My New Humidor - Filled and Finished

I must say that looks freaking sweet, congrats and enjoy it

Re: My New Humidor - Filled and Finished

That is absolutely beautiful, Howard! Congrats My Brother! :tu
