Humidor Recommendation

[Lurch]

Another problem you will face if you keep it a ground level is heat. Unless you run your AC all day you will risk the outbreak of beetles, those little bastards love the heat. Like kawiracer said a wine frig, you can use it to keep them cool and and it's air tight. Plus all you need to use for humidification is some beads. Beads are the one of the best ways to keep everything happy.

Also, don't buy shitty humidors, they leak like no one's business and you'll be pissed all the time checking the humidity trying to fix it.

I have had my "nicer" one for 10 years so I don't remember who made it, I'll look to see if there is a label on it tonight.

TimK, have you ever tried to make an improved humidor or end table size humidor that has a better seal? If anyone could it would be you

Drift, if you need something beyond an ammo can size, consider making a coolerdor.

I've not done and end table version, but I have done walk-up humidors. They can be built into walls if there is enough depth or as a cabinet. Sealing them up is child's play. I use a soft gasket inside the door and magnetic latches if necessary. Put glass in the door and light them up, and you have a pretty cool piece. Not cheap, though.

Here's mine.

What do you use for humidity in a walk-up like that?

[Tim K]

Oasis electronic humidifier.

Sounds like the answer is a minifridge with fake wood paneling to me.

You could probably build your own. My wife got me one of these as a father's day gift. I love it and it works well.

Now that's an awesome idea! I have a couple of WWII side-opening .50 cans sitting here next to me. But, I also have a nice humidor that the wife paid a lot of money for, it just costs too much to keep it filled with 'gars. I tend to smoke small cigars, and use an old cedar cigar box in a big Ziploc bag for a road humidor, works great. I don't smoke in the house.
