Walk-in Humidor

[stinggray]

Good luck on the walk-in......don't have any advice for ya since I'm not a construction guy.

BTW, are those your cigars in the link you put in your sig line......or are you advertising for someone else? $40/box for vintage 25 yr old cigars....hmmmm, I'll have to research them a bit.

Oh yeah, welcome to the forum.

As for the Cerdans yes there mine. I have to get a few things in order first. But I will be opening some boxes at the first of the year for my fellow forum smokers. Keeping your eye out for a thread as there will be a limited number of sticks going out. Most of the stuff online about them are very out of date. They have only been for sale in a local store for the last 9 years. Around 98-99 there were some for sale online else were but they went quick. If you have any questions just ask.

Yes. Once the poly is completely dried it will not affect your cigars at all.



You might have a problem with the "cider" but as far as cedar is concerned, the humidity alone isn't going to hurt since its like living in a humid city to begin with (like me).

Honestly its a lot like refurbishing a bathroom. A good primer and paint would work fine. You could also use green board, which is a water resistant drywall, it tends to sag on ceilings however so the joists need to be closer together.

If it were me, I'd just use plain old drywall, a good primer, and a couple of coats of a mildew resistant paint, then your cedar. Be sure to allow for some expansion in the cedar as well when you install it since the humidity will cause it to grow a little.



I would install wonderboard, just like installing ceramic tile in a bathroom. You can also get a better bond with the cement board.

My $0.02

ps Welcome to the forum!

Thanks Spiffy the paint sounds like it might work just fine. I think the wonderboard is the way to go. My only hesitation is the transition between the carpet and marble on top of wonderboard. But I've seen worse.

Thanks Guys

Yes line the room with plastic after you install the drywall. I'd use greenboard just so I didn't have to paint, but that's a personal choice. The poly is ok after it has dried, but totally unnecessary for this application. The humidifier is way overkill, but again it is a personal choice as is the A/C. How will you heat? Sorry, I didn't notice where you were from before starting this, or if is even an issue.
You can use marble, but remember when damp, it does become slippery. I chose to use Sattlilla tile, which also enables me to use it as part of the humidification system.
Hope this helps.

Everyone’s suggestions seem to clear this up.

Good luck with the humi.

If you have any concerns about the poly, just email a cigar manufacturer and ask what kind of poly/varnish type stuff they put on their cigar boxes. What ever they are using will also be fine for your application.
