Whoops ... watch that first step

AdamJoshua · 03-15-2013, 03:59 PM

So I went ahead and bought a Lauderdale, I know it's a bit smaller than some of the other end table types but I only want it to hold boxes, and it ended up being around $320 including shipping... kind of hard to pass up on .. well for a jew like me

I read a ton of reviews etc., and being undersized was the only real issue for most people, also seeing how I live in San Diego heat and temp swings shouldn't be a problem and I use central air in the summer when it get's "hot" out, I already have the winador so between the two I should be fine ... you know for the next month or so.

Just curious what Hydra would ya'all recommend for this?

I have the Montegue which is similar and I use beads from Heartfelt.

Yup, I had two as well, Adam, and used Heartfelt beads.

Bobs set and forget is unbeatable. If your planning on having the piece for awhile. And even if your not you can always move the S&F to whatever humidor you upgrade to.

The extra money makes for a lot of sticks, trust me I know and have heard and seen all, but at this point a coolidor made the most sense, I just saw this box and it was pretty cheap so I jumped on it.

Went ahead and ordered 1 1/2 pounds of the 65% RH beads from Dave, and bought some thin weather stripping to line the door seal (from what I read this is recommended).

Nice grab. Keep us posted on your experience.

It's a nice looking box Adam. My wife even liked mine enough that it resides in the family room. I went with 2 pounds in mine. Still have to keep up on it in the winter when the heat is running.

i have 2 lbs of the 70% in the winador, i'm thinking about actually switching them around, going with the 70% in this for box storage and putting the 65s in the wina- for the sticks and such.
