VRATJV07 Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 I also saw this video on YouTube. Great basement and cigar room. The craftsmanship is outstanding on the woodwork you have in there. Welcome to FOH! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

prodigy Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 Does any cigar smoke/smell escape the doors? They appear to close pretty tight, but not air tight. I guess if there's negative pressure it wouldn't be an issue. Is there just a fan ducted in or is it a complete separate HVAC system?

No cigar smoke/smell escapes the room. The system is working beautifully and better than I had hoped. We installed a 900 CFM Fantech with two room vents. We hooked up to a rheostat so we can control the speed based on the amount of smoke in the room. In addition, I spray foam insulated the walls and added an air purifier and ozone generator. Hope that helps! I couldn't be happier. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HDGSN Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 Now you just need to get Bob Stabell to turn the built-ins in the cigar room to the humidors you’ll need before you know it! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Puros Y Vino Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 Fantastic space! I would never think that shade of gray would add some warmth to the room. Great design throughout with some cool touches. Those cobra door handles for instance. Welcome to FOH as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TBird55 Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 Welcome to FOH, you found the right place! Stunning, love the copper ceiling, and it appears that you have ample room to expand your humidor. FOH has a peculiar effect on people. Humidors that you thought would be large enough for the foreseeable future, suddenly fill up and become way too small. Enjoy! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcarlson Posted December 8, 2018 Share Posted December 8, 2018 Hot damn. If jealousy had a name. . . I would be its namesake. Very well done. I bet the upstairs is a dump. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Markspring1978 Posted December 8, 2018 Share Posted December 8, 2018 Very, very well done. This space is just outstanding on so many levels. When I saw the door to the “powder room”, I thought, “In no time, that will be a walk in”. One word of caution, ozone generators are used often in smoke odor mitigation, I own a disaster restoration business so, I’m very familiar with them. Ozone is an oxidizer which can be corrosive to natural leathers, natural rubbers, or other organic materials. Additionally, it is an irritant to your lungs, over the years, I’ve become sensitized to ozone gas. Granted we use it in much higher dosages with large commercial units. Also, ozone is a very poor penetrator, so the actual efficacy can be superficial. Alternatively, you could install activated carbon filters on your air handling system, this would be more effective than regular use of ozone in that the smoke particles would be removed rather than trying to chemically neutralize the smoke particles. Feel free to PM me if you want more info. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
