stargazer14 Posted April 6, 2013 Posted April 6, 2013 CohibaSteve posted the link to the big thread in the Humidor Section on this very topic, but here is mine again - An antique copper sterilizing cabinet, have about 32 big boxes and a few 5'ers in there now, could fit a couple more if I took the time to figure it out...
vitruvius Posted April 6, 2013 Posted April 6, 2013 I have a custom built end table equipped with a 1,5 qt Staebell humidification system. It is still pretty much empty, only have half a dozen boxes in there yet.
finecigar Posted April 6, 2013 Posted April 6, 2013 I have a custom built end table equipped with a 1,5 qt Staebell humidification system. It is still pretty much empty, only have half a dozen boxes in there yet. That's a beautiful end table, I love how sleek and efficient it looks! How long did you spend to build that?
vitruvius Posted April 6, 2013 Posted April 6, 2013 Thanks finecigar, I had it made by a cabinet maker. It would have looked *much* worse if I had built it - and I probably would have lost a couple of fingers in the process ! it's made of solid maple on the outside and 3/4 inch solid cedar on the inside. It weighs a ton. They took a week building it an another for the finish. I saw cheaper units on sale on the web but when you add up shipping it was cheaper to have it made locally. The only thing I did was to add plastic tubes to keep the wiring clean and safely attached to the inside walls.
stargazer14 Posted April 6, 2013 Posted April 6, 2013 I love that end table! Great job. I'm trying to figure out what cool item I can make into another humidor. I had an antique urinal that was massive - 520lbs, tried to come with an idea for that but instead sold it on ebay. I have figured urinals don't make great humidors at this point.

vitruvius Posted April 6, 2013 Posted April 6, 2013 LOL !! Well, that's a start ! Don't worry, I'm sure you will find some ispiration.
stogiecidal Posted April 7, 2013 Posted April 7, 2013 I have a custom built end table equipped with a 1,5 qt Staebell humidification system. It is still pretty much empty, only have half a dozen boxes in there yet. Wow Vincent that cabinet is beautiful! Hoping one day to upgrade to an RH/temp regulated cabinet one day.
vitruvius Posted April 7, 2013 Posted April 7, 2013 Thanks Stogicidal! It's not temps controlled though, I did not feel it was necessary. Will see how it works in the summer. I might have to bring it down to the basement. Will see. Cheers!

oliverdst Posted April 7, 2013 Posted April 7, 2013 If someone has a reliable vendor who ships to Brazil, please, let me know. I have a dozen boxes coming and no space. Thanks.
Doug535i Posted April 7, 2013 Posted April 7, 2013 My homemade humi... 20ct on top of 150ct. I estimate it'll hold 3500+ sticks

Start with that Graycliff and the Cuaba
Doug535i Posted April 7, 2013 Posted April 7, 2013 Nice! You made that yourself? Maybe its just the pic, but can it really hold that many sticks? 125-150 boxes? That would be sweet Yes, built by me. 12 cubic ft of interior space 48" x 24" x 18", overall 56 1/2" x 28" x 19 1/2"
