Toolguy Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 20 hours ago, SmokenWhisky said: Nice One question though. How will you regulate temperatures during summer?. Its October and your stat reads 22c. The issue I have is keeping my humidor below 23c in the summer. I have an a/c unit that I run when home during the day but when away for a week or weekend during some hot summer days I've hit 27c. How bad is the heat for cigars? According to google the average high temp in Cuba is 27 and the average low is 21. I don't understand why heat is such a big deal as long as the humidity is in a good range. I heat in the winter and cool in the summer. My indoor range is probably 20-23 I would guess. It would be better if I had them in a low point in my home so the temp didn't fluctuate much but I like having them in my office.

I hope you can get 400-500 in there, but with the drawers and not just boxes piled on top of another, is it really possible? Nice work on the drawers.

tricam_bob Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 Just picked this little baby up on Bellingham for free. I'll take out the refrigeration stuff, put in some Spanish cedar shelves and fill it with boxes. Already got the humidity beads.

tricam_bob Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 Got this little guy last week. Seasoned it to 60 RH and dropped in some new 60RH Heartfelt beads. Plan on this being my dry box and keeping it in the Cigar lounge. Alki, Sanchez, Rone and 14 others 17 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tricam_bob Posted February 16, 2019 Share Posted February 16, 2019 Just picked up the (future) new shelves for the wineador build. If I get any time out of the office this weekend I guess I know what I'm doing (and I can't hardly wait!)!

Alki Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 Picked up this wine cooler from a seller on Kijiji for what I think was a terrific price of $50. Meet what will become my new wineador. I so badly need to consolidate my cigars and get rid of some storage boxes. Burtess, ToothlessCog, Bacchus and 15 others 18 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rone Posted May 3, 2019 Share Posted May 3, 2019 Love stock rotaion day. Always forget what I actually have in there. Was getting a little bit disorganized. You know, mail comes and you just jam it in there anywhere before the wife sees it.

holidaynation Posted May 14, 2019 Share Posted May 14, 2019 Picked up a $10 working 6bottle for the bar top. Typically house temps are fine for my desktop, but assuming summer gets here, it can get warm. Just working of stability and this may become my new desk top, where I keep my "now smoking" handy list. Right now it's loaded with good cigar boxes and such that should work, and I may pick up some small sc trays at some point, we'll see how it goes, right now it cools down to 62-63 on highest temp setting so may have to wait till warmer temps to see if I can stabilize at a slightly warmer temp. The seal is good and when unplugged it holds at 69f and 68% empty sooooo. Sanchez, PolarBear, Burtess and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Puros Y Vino Posted September 25, 2019 Share Posted September 25, 2019 I bought this unit from a friend about a year ago. I did a few modifications to it. Added two 80CFM fans up top to circulate the air. I have another two, I might install at the bottom. Added rubber seal around the door frame. Added 3 latch locks to make the door close a lot tighter. The key latch lock leaves too much wiggle room for the door. (The gold hardware on the right hand side of the door) Installed programmable Power strip. (not seen). With the phone app I can program each socket to turn on/off when needed. The Cigar Oasis runs 12AM - 6AM. The fans run from 3PM to 9PM. It allows me to use power when it's cheaper and I've found this schedule keeps RH levels top to bottom nicely. There is still a small escape path for humidity where the wires exit from the back, which I will seal a lot better soon.

Cold Smoke Posted October 26, 2019 Share Posted October 26, 2019 Was doing a bit of a tidy up and inventory, so this was the first time in ages I had all the coolers out. The coolers are all boxes of Cubans at 65% except for one of the stackers and the large red cooler which are NC singles and boxes respectively. The wineadors are mostly Cuban singles and tubos and the jars are full of NC long and skinnies. It pains me to add that as much as I find the coolers butt ugly, they work a charm.

PolarBear Posted October 30, 2019 Share Posted October 30, 2019 Purchased a new Koolatron thermoelectric wine cooler to convert as my other one is full...

PolarBear Posted October 30, 2019 Share Posted October 30, 2019 Here's a picture of my original wineador full...There are 5 other humidors filled with boxes and singles most of which will go into the new wineador when it is ready. tricam_bob, Rusty Nail, Rone and 5 others 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PolarBear Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 Took the day off from work yesterday and had a few things I wanted to get done...re-organized my humidors instead. Oh well! These are my 2 display style humis filled with cigars that are ready to smoke...and one for odds and ends.
