Maybe it would be wise to rotate the boxes throughout the humidor to compensate for differences in Rh in various spots if applicable. I rotate the boxes every year or so for that reason. Also make sure there's room around the humidification element and if you have fans that they are able to do their job. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tone_NY Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 There is a picture of my humidor on my profile page which is a number of years old. I try to stack cigars by like sizes to try to maximize how many boxes I can fit in. I usually play rack and stack when I get any new boxes. If I have a box with five or less cigars I'll put bands on with date and box code and they go in the singles draw. I used to have two coolers as well, but I'm cutting back a bit in preparation for a move.gallery_1414_266_67510.jpg 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomasdenaro Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 very nice looking Humidor, well done on the build certainly a one of a kind - now to fill it full and play some cigar tetris! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Versus1ss Posted March 24, 2017 Author Share Posted March 24, 2017 Yeah I do have a lot of purchases left before it looks half way full. But I'm up for the challenge. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Versus1ss Posted April 4, 2017 Author Share Posted April 4, 2017 So I am dealing with high humidity temps. At first I thought my hygrometers were off but after buying a new set it confirmed that it's too high so I removed the two trays that I had in the upper levels. Im hoping that it solves the issues I also lowered my setting on the oasis to 63. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tag9485 Posted April 4, 2017 Share Posted April 4, 2017 Man I love the lighting! I keep telling my self I'll start one of these project one day. Maybe if a beautiful piece of furniture like this presents itself. Nicely done Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n0s4atu Posted April 4, 2017 Share Posted April 4, 2017 I have mine currently separated simply by NC and Cuban. All the shelves are almost at the exact same RH so I figure it doesn't matter. I have a few pulled out from every box and in Spanish Cedar trays so I can leave the boxes be. That cabinet is amazing looking by the way. The only thing I'd say is be careful with those hygrometers. I have had 3, two were wildly off by 5 and 6 points. I love the size of their display though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Versus1ss Posted April 5, 2017 Author Share Posted April 5, 2017 So I can't seem to get the temp below 68... any ideas how to achieve this... the two options I see are remove a portion of beads or to turn off the aux fans. I have lowered my oasis to 53 degrees so that it basically is rarely on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaintMickey® Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 Jumping in on this topic with a related question...my New Air is now officially full...very tight. I use to be a stickler for cracking open boxes but now find that my Oasis XL is keeping them properly humidified without them being cracked. Your thoughts on how much if any a CC dress box has to be "cracked" open? Thanks to all who reply. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Versus1ss Posted April 8, 2017 Author Share Posted April 8, 2017 From what I read and I may be wrong the consensus is that a closed box allows for more consistent temp due to the less air flow and also slows down the aging process. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peckinpahhombre Posted April 8, 2017 Share Posted April 8, 2017 Now let me jump in with yet another question (and very sorry for the hijack!). I don't crack my boxes either, but another question I have always wondered about is whether it is safe to stack boxes uniformly on top of one another or whether I should stagger or criss cross them in some way. If a box top is completely covered by another box, will sufficient humidity still get in? For example, see those 5 stacked boxes of dip cuban regionals - is it ok to stack them that way? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It shows the right way when u click on it. Most of the pics of humidors I have seen focus more on cramming as much boxes in the humidors as possible (Tetris ) so stacking tactics doesn't seem to be an issue.
