Re: Cooled Cabinet Humidor Project

Re: Hi temp humidor
I have two of the larger units in a cabinet I'm building. I think the biggest issue with your tower will be the lack of insulation and the glass doors. Any possibility of adding insulation? I...

Re: Cooled Cabinet Humidor Project
Finally, an update on the cabinet project. It has taken longer and cost more than originally planned but I’m really happy with the quality of work. I moved about a month ago so I’ve been extra busy...
