So....I might be buying a tower

A friend on another board has two of those exact humidors, both using Oasis II, he also uses beads scattered throughout them in drawers and such.

I think he said he just charged up everything with distilled water and let it run for about a week to season it... maybe bowls of water on the shelves?

I wouldn't spend extra on inside delivery, I would think it's no heavier than a curio cabinet, and nothing you and a friend couldn't handle. just make sure you inspect it BEFORE you sign, no matter what the driver says, it's your right to do so. You can even keep him there while you contact the vendor if there's damage, and let them know you refused delivery.

Can't wait to see pictures of this bad boy all filled up

I figured me, my dad, and my brother would be able to take care of it.

I take it they haven't had any sealing issues with either one?

I was thinking maybe 1lb of beads at the top and bottom, and then some throughout the draws should be good.

Buddy said there was a slight leak near the bottom of the door on one, but the Oasis II keeps things perfectly stable. I would definately have some active humidifier in that thing!

I think I'll be going with an Avallo Accumonitor setup if I end up buying this. By the time I buy the Oasis, beads, and fans; I could spend the same amount on an Avallo setup. So I got the humidification system out of the way, just have to find a spot for this now.

Avallo is the Shit!

I would definitely move it yourself. Empty they are not that heavy. I have helped move a few of those WITH all of the cardboard and garb attached. Not bad at all.

I would make sure to get on Tampa Humidor's email list. Every now and then mike has a "free shipping" deal on everything...even cabinets. Just an idea ;)

And if you call and talk to him you might even get a better deal. It's called the Peinza I think on their website.

Not to mention I hate cheaphumidors with a passion. Worst CS on the face of the earth if you ever have a problem.

I run a similar setup right now. Been running it for a number of years. And I have the Avallo system too! It's simply the best and the only thing you need. If there is any slight leaks around the door your just go to your local homedepot and pick up some fresh window door seals and re-do the seal with a thicker one.
