Popular Post Eric05 Posted October 30, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted October 30, 2021 Good evening all. The time has come my new humidor has been built and will be arriving shortly. I intend to update this as i receive and well of course set it up. Background. I had an aristocrat by Bob outgrew it. Decided to upgrade to an Avallo by Matt. And then sold that. I was never a fan of my Avallo. I felt like it was a big downgrade from My Aristocrat. And well just took to long to get. This unit. Took approx 4 months. The builder is located in Europe. I am in United States. Builder is Charles. By thevaultwoodworks that’s his IG. He is very responsive. His work is amazing. I really wanted something custom built. By someone, his pricing is very fair. Also considering it’s being shipped half way around the world. I looked at another unit by someone in Canada. Also on IG and well I couldn’t see past the 10k he was asking for a unit. But anyhow i will post progress photos here and then update once i receive the unit. Please feel free to ask any questions. I always read the forums and look for humidor builders so maybe someone else is doing the same. dimenisons: 54in(H) 30in(w) 30in(d) i will be installing bobs humidification unit inside 10 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meesterjojo Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 Hot damn that's nice. I really really like the fleur-de-lis on the shelves. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
el chino Posted November 24, 2021 Share Posted November 24, 2021 Good God, that's nice Eric. I like all the little details even with the LED recessed strips. Judging by the shop lights, the int LED's are anywhere from 2900k-3200k. Very pleasing to the eye. Is this smaller than your Avallo DDD? Would love to check out your builders other projects. Definitely very clean man! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have about 50 boxes in now. Probably could fit 100-125 in there. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
el chino Posted November 29, 2021 Share Posted November 29, 2021 I see you mentioned utilizing Bobs humidification system. Are you doing anything for temps? maybe your area is good when it comes to heat. Here on the west coast, (I live 3 min from the beach) temps can get pretty warm a couple months out of the year where I have to plug my NewAir fridgeador in to keep it back down to 63-66°F. During the summer months that's my fluctuation on a thermoelectric. What is the top lid for? Looking forward to your progress! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lighters, cutters, stuff my son can’t reach if he decided to get into it. Right now i been running the unit for humidity only. Bottom is about 66. Top is 64. Perfect for me. Smooth and quiet. It stays in my basement. My basement varies between 67-68 all year. I’ve never needed temp controlled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
el chino Posted December 8, 2021 Share Posted December 8, 2021 Hey Eric, how's your humidor coming along? The more see your humidor the more I like the design of it. It is classy. Way more class than a couple plastic Remingtons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric05 Posted December 8, 2021 Author Share Posted December 8, 2021 loving it so far, hooking up the humidification unit from Bob(aristocrat) has been spot on and perfect. It maintains a perfect humidity 64 top and 66 bottom. I couldn't be happier with the unit. The LED lights are nice, but then it gets to warm in there. So can't leave them on for awhile. I am a little skeptical in regards to the remingtons, I've heard they don't hold humidity well. It's not as natural as wood. I also see humidors like Vigilant, And I just don't understand why someone would spend that much on that unit, crazy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueDrew2 Posted May 28, 2022 Share Posted May 28, 2022 Beautiful humidor! The way things are going I may be looking for a bit bigger humidor sooner rather than later. Turns out I have been following Charles for some time now. Prices do seem attractive. Construction looks immaculate. Will definitely be considering one for my next. Thank you for sharing! Cheers, Drew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post shippers Posted March 20, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted March 20, 2023 Charles just built my new cab, which arrived yesterday. It is currently seasoning... but amazing work, and he communicated throughout. Timelines did run on a bit but well worth the wait in the end! He also created a nice bar shelf arriving tomorrow with some extra trays. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
