edameff Posted January 11, 2012 Author Share Posted January 11, 2012 Once she is complete, all of my FOH family has a standing invitation to come and share some of my smokes, maybe we can have El Presidente come down and film a video review from the room. Push him guys!! The only problem is that I maintain an absolute "No non-Cuban's allowed in the humidor", but didn't think this through since I am Bulgarian, not Cuban. Now every time I want a cigar, my good buddy Pepe Gonzales has to come over and take one out...he was born in Havana. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomasito Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 On 1/20/2011 at 8:03 PM, PigFish said: I am gonna' toss some ideas at you Doc. I would likely prepare the walls with DensGlass or greenboard. I would use no taping material that could mold in the future. I would likely ventilate the DensGlass to open space and then use a Tyvek vapor barrier, inverted, or permeable side in and seal the Tyvek with tape. I would fir an open space between the Tyvek and the finished surface. The finished surface would not be a laminate of any kind (plywood) unless it was marine grade which would likely defeat the other substrate work. I would use Spanish Cedar and in planks perpendicular to the furring, at least 1/4 inch think, 3/8th would be better and rabbit the edges for either a T&G or shiplap configuration. I would use a quality stainless deck screw to attach the lumber or if you must a SS finish nail. I would finish by using a double paned, exterior grade 1 3/4", multi-light door, probably mahogany in a Q-lon fitted exterior jamb with a Q-lon threshold. Finish with a deadbolt and lever, with no finish applied to the interior surfaces. In a nutshell; my years of building chilled humidors leads me to believe that sealed refrigerated units have inherent flaws. A controlled uni-directional evaporation is desirable. The smell of cedar to overcome any mildew, ammonia or unwanted odors is a must. Best of luck with the project... I am envious as I wish was building this one myself. Oh... While I use CMT monitors myself, the use of a data-logging process controller would be better!!! -Ray Why Tyvek instead of a traditional (non-breathable) vapor barrier plastic? And how should the Spanish cedar be installed over the Tyvek? Is it ok to puncture the Tyvek with nails/screws? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
