Just about full, time to decide what's next. 

Here's my Aristocrat. Two active humidifers on the bottom, three fans and temp controlled. I'd say it works great, although the humidity at to top of the unit is typically 2-3% below the bottom, whe

Think I have posted about my set-up before - here's the details : 90% of my cigars are in inside metal lockers from a German company named Zarges that are water/airtight and those metal lockers are

First setup is complete... not the most amazing wrappers/color in the world, but I'll give myself one pass since it was my inaugural purchase. But with 7 boxes from 24:24 en route... I will definitely be needing something BIGGER :o

My stock is housed in various humidors, lockers at various LCdH’s and large airtight locked aluminimum storage containers.

Humidified both active and passive as is appropriate for the storage.

I might have lost track of the amount of cigars. 

Just realised I have 11 keys for my cigar storage??

Wow. Multiple LCDHs? I would lose track of this. Bravo sir. 

I bet you will have some nice surprises that you forget about after a few years

I also have a 50qt cooler full of singles.

It’s not much but I’m only a year into this cigar world.

Olde English Tower cabinet. Modified with custom lighting, circulation fans and switch box. Was a fun build and I think the result is pretty sharp!

Fan and lighting mounting. These are Noctua NF-F12s. Running these at full speed as they are whisper quiet so no need to modulate speed via PWM control. I have the fans on the right blowing up and the fans on the left blowing down to develop good circulation. I'm running a Humidi-Fresh humidifer in the bottom of the cabinet.

 

I'll probably wait until its full before adding another pic -- If I last that long. If my wife knew what Di knows... adios, compadre! ??

very nice!

My 100 cigars isn’t even worthy of posting next to such glamorous collections and humidors. Amazing.

Hey guys,

Been away from this forum for quite a while, my last post was 5 years ago. Thought of posting here rather than creating a new topic, my wineador kaput and been thinking of getting a replacement. Found this on Alibaba, wondered any of gents had any experience. I'm contemplating this, product look solid, price point good and company looks acceptable. I really can't be bothered to got through wine cooler conversion again. It took mine awhile to settled in there was maintenance issues. Hoping to get right out of the box solution and not paying too much on it. Cheers

Coolidor

I use the grouped plastic bags of insulation method for most, boxes for some others.

Crude, but effective since the fancy wood glass front humidor option isn't really an option for me.
