Default Finally upgraded

Many years ago I had purchased a decent size humidor for myself while going through Rota. All hand made, with a simple skeleton key lock.

It has served me faithfully for about 15 years and holds about 250 to 300 cigars.

But more recently I find myself needing more space and running out of room.

I thought to myself "Self, obviously you aren't smoking enough!"

But then I went back and saw that I'm spending about double on stogies that I used too and storing a lot of them for longer for more flavour and letting them "settle" more than I used to as well. In other words, I'm getting finicky.

It was time brethren. Time for change. Time for something new. So I decided to let Beyonce upgrade me.

Behold the new Humidor!
I know a few members here have this model and had been looking at it for a few years. Most of the data I had seen said it either seals great or seals awful (as is true of most humidors I reckon) but the prime culprit most folks seem to say is the outlet.

So I siliconed the outlet, put a light bead around most the seams and I'm letting it dry currently before I put my old Oasis in there to bring it up to humidity.

Looking forward to having more moving room in the old cigar case finally!

Have the same one Joe, another thing I would suggest is getting some 'foam' weather stripping and putting it around the inside of the door to help with the seal there.

Grats on the upgrade!
