My xmas present to myself - Cabinet Humidor!

DBall · 12-23-2008, 08:51 PM

Here's what I got myself for Christmas...

Stay tuned to this thread, once I get it ready, I'll put a pic of it full up.

I got a KILLER deal on it and it came with a moist-n-aire (with no foam). I've never used one of these before, but it would be cool if I could mod it to use beads or something...

The only bad thing is that it's previous residence was at a head shop, so it smells a bit like patchouli (which is a scent I detest). I'm hoping that goes away soon so I can fill it with my smokes. Right now the door is open and there's a fan in there... any tips on making the smell dissipate quicker would be appreciated.

One of the coolest things is that when I showed my wife (prior to buying it) her exact words were, "Oh, nice... that's exactly what I was thinking you should get for your cigars... it looks nice!". I adore that woman.

Nobody wants to see it empty, Dan.

Nice score... that is the exact same cab sitting about 6 feet from me right now!

1) SWEET! Great deal.
2) Need to see it full
3) Bout time you stopped slumming it and just understood you needed something like this.

To get rid of the smell, try putting some Arm & Hammer in there

Boobar · 12-23-2008, 09:05 PM

Very nice, I think it will be spectacular when full.

s15driftking · 12-23-2008, 09:06 PM

Yeah, a couple boxes of baking soda for a few days should work that stink out.

Nice pick up Dan!!!

Mugen910 · 12-23-2008, 09:57 PM

Great pick up Mr. Ball.

Zipper · 12-23-2008, 10:00 PM

Looks better than when you described it to me! I can't wait to see it in the cigar room.

BroncoHorvath · 12-23-2008, 10:01 PM

Really nice.....They are pretty good unit for the money... Can't go wrong with that Cabinet... Should be fun filling her up...

HK3- · 12-24-2008, 05:12 AM

Nice score Dan! Can't wait to see it up and running... and full of sticks.

12-24-2008, 05:21 AM

Very nice - I've always liked the way that model looked.

And another vote for baking soda. Stick an open box or two in there for a while.

borndead1 · 12-24-2008, 05:36 AM

Baking soda would work. You could also do quick once-over on the inside with some fine sandpaper. That would get the Spanish Cedar scent going again.

*Just remember to wear a surgical mask while sanding.*

Nice cabinet!

Nice, Dan! Keep us informed, Bro!
