So in 2012 I decided that I need a real humidor.

Something that will relieve my boxes from the airtight containers where they have been previously kept.

I got an offer from a passionate cabinetmaker located in stuttgart (schwaben-humidor.de).

The Humidor is made from solid sapeli mahagoni wood, using real cedar wasnt an option because it can smell real heavy sometimes.

My goal was a humidor that is almost airtight with a passive humidification (turned out I don't really need that much humidification since the solid wood is a pretty good buffer) for long term ageing. I placed the humidor in my cellar where the temperature is kind of stable (14-22°C/57-72°F) and so is the humidity, between 65 and 69%. Since its all wood the humidor reacts very well to differences of humidity and acts as a buffer.

I added a few things over the time like a fan for air circulation, some LED lights with a switch connected to the door and 2 trays for singles.

If you think that is big think again, in 2014 it is full and I need to store in lock&lock boxes again..sight, its able to contain around 150 boxes.

enjoy, cheers.

Amazing, thank you for sharing!ok.gif
