Nice work, Justin.

If you roll over one of the Photobucket pics, a dropdown appears. Click on the IMG code box. Paste here like this. And voila!

I thought I would make it a bit easier for everyone to see the pics of the humidor. I just started putting my sticks in there and I will try to upload some more pics of that when I take them.

The humidification system is the same as in Aristocrat humidors by Bob. I talked with him and purchased the system from him it was a great investment because it works very well.
