Babaloo Posted September 24, 2013 Posted September 24, 2013 Greeting FBOTL, I'm purchasing an Avanti 16 bottle (thermo) wine fridge. Looking to stock just my boxes, should I line the unit with Cedar or not ? Cheers
Larsy Posted September 24, 2013 Posted September 24, 2013 IMO its personal preference. I have no cedar in my Vino and Ive never had a problem. Humidity is always 65%, no problems
Babaloo Posted September 24, 2013 Author Posted September 24, 2013 Thanks,with my 52 bottle, I've lined the bottom & the top of the unit & have 3 cedar trays & 1 3" draw. Plus my Daniel Marshel is stored @ the bottom, to keep it away from nosey Family members. My RH holds @ avg. 70% Which I feel I'll have no problem setting up the new box.
Colinb913 Posted September 24, 2013 Posted September 24, 2013 I have a 18 bottle, and since I worked at a smoke shop, I snagged quite a few thin sheets (the kind that separate rows of NC cigars), I hot glued a few to the top, bottom, and sides of my wineador. I also glued sheets to the bottom of each of the drawers I use (don't have "real" wineador drawers yet). I have a few full boxes in the bottom as well. Between all that, my humidity hasn't budged from 65% since I got it stabilized. Since you're just looking to use this one to stock boxes, I am willing to bet you'll be fine without it.
Babaloo Posted September 24, 2013 Author Posted September 24, 2013 Thanks for your input Colin, any pics. ?
Hiroshiro Posted September 24, 2013 Posted September 24, 2013 I put little Cedar Hearts and the Cedar covers from the boxes and lay them out throughout the Wineador Even if it doesn't do anything the smell alone is enough = P
LordAnubis Posted September 29, 2013 Posted September 29, 2013 I put little Cedar Hearts Ahahaha, true love !!! Nice.

Hiroshiro Posted September 30, 2013 Posted September 30, 2013 Haha I've only been to New York once. In my younger days I played trombone and performed at Carnegie Hall in 2005 I'd love to Hit up NY as an adult tho haha
Babaloo Posted September 30, 2013 Author Posted September 30, 2013 Im impressed , no offence. Well, if you make it back , look me up.
PigFish Posted September 30, 2013 Posted September 30, 2013 Note... There is a big difference between Spanish Cedar (not cedar, but mahogany) and Tennessee aromatic cedar which is a juniper. Juniper oil is known for toxicity. I would not be placing this stuff, in heart shape or otherwise in my humidors. Just an FYI. Cheers, the Pig

I had a friend who is into making stuff out of wood, had to cut down a big cedar tree on his property, asked me for my opinion before making a humidor out of it. I said i don't know about the wood for the outside of the box, but best for it to be lined with "spanish cedar"... ... which is not spanish (central/south american) and not actually cedar either (mahogany family).
Hiroshiro Posted September 30, 2013 Posted September 30, 2013 Yea The Hearts came from my Mom's Humidor from the 80s. Didn't know she had one and I found the hearts inside of it. It became my footlocker but I rather have the Wineadors
