Homemade Humidor

[TachyCoventry]

Extremely nice job, I noticed that you had the boxes torn up and put inside, that's a nice home-made touch!

Are those cigar roller trays? Very cool idea and great work! I'm looking forward to the finished product.

Thanks!! They are not rolling treys the actually came out of a Rocky Patel box, the cigars that sat on the trays were in glass tubes.

Thank you, yes i thought the box pieces looked pretty cool, there also functional so thats nice too.

So i bought a Xikar 250 count crystal cigar humidifier. Plus i have one of the puck style ones in there too. Im hoping the humidity will start to raise in there. They guys at Corona Cigar suggested I wipe down the walls with distilled water to get the "seasoning" started. They also said im probably going to need 2 of the 250 count humidifiers. What do you guys suggest or think about the wiping the walls thing? Any suggestions as to how to get this thing going would be greatly appreciated, im still kinda a newb to this.

Also any specific place i should put the hydrometer?

Very cool built-in. I like the box pieces as well, adds a personal touch.

Well i did some research on the seasoning process and have begun. So hopefully in a couple days i can start using this thing. Its at about 90% RH right now, and the temp is about 78. Im not to sure about how im going to get the temp down its florida in the middle of summer. Anyways ill keep you guys updated

Check out a peltier cooler, or just put a blue ice bar in there in a towel.

Cool setup.

done for now will have to add some cooling soon though, oh yea and more shelves as my collection grows

You need to get more sticks in that! You want to try and keep a humidor at least 50% of the way full, it will help regulate humidity better and will lead to less fluctuations. Very nice project though! Well done!

Awesome transformation; looks great. I like the idea of displaying singles and maybe a couple open boxes of regular go-to cigars, and keeping the reserve in a coolidor.
