Popular Post liquid360 Posted June 28, 2018 Author Popular Post Share Posted June 28, 2018 So I left to go pick up this humidor thinking it would fit in my passenger seat.... photos of humidors require something for scale. So... after renting a uhaul, I got this beautiful box home. Love it!Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rckymtn22 Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 Was wondering about it fitting in your sports car and thinking a uhaul truck would have been better. If it had fit into your car, pictures would have been a necessary! Nice find. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BJRPorter Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 It would have looked something like this? That is the couch AND loveseat. My father drove 60 miles on the freeway. I did offer to rent a Uhaul. My offer was strongly frowned upon! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

liquid360 Posted June 28, 2018 Author Share Posted June 28, 2018 I’ve spent the last few hours reboxing all my cigars. It must say, having all this new room is amazing and the quality of this humidor is off the charts! I can’t wait to have a big one built to my specs! He does beautiful work!Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

liquid360 Posted July 27, 2018 Author Share Posted July 27, 2018 Bravo sir, bravo! Almost time for another one.Lol much thanks!! I was extremely naive, but I truly believed this would be enough for year(s). Instead, not even a month. I believe come autumn I’ll bite the bullet and order a huge Aristocrat built to my specs. I’ll go as big as my home will allow. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derboesekoenig Posted July 28, 2018 Share Posted July 28, 2018 I'm trying to figure that out myself. I converted and set up (2) 28-30 bottle wine coolers...and instantly filled those. I was thinking a 50-60 box aristocrat will be enough now. I know it'll be filled quick as well, but 80-90 boxes should probably be my hard limit anyhow.

If I fill that it’ll be obvious that I’ve lost my tenuous grasp on reality. I say imagine how many you might buy and x4.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you know? I placed an order for a Mini Tall in Dark Brown Mahagony back in early May and Bob called Friday to tell me it’s almost done and will be ready for pick up this week. As a fellow citizen of Dallas, fortunately I can run over to his shop to pick it up and save myself a few extra days of anguish waiting for it to arrive! I would have loved to go larger but with about 20 boxes in my collection, I figured I’m about at the max I can justify without also having to hire a divorce lawyer! It’s a war of attrition ... I’ll get there eventually! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ll get there eventually!I’m not sure. It holds around 50 boxes. In my opinion, based upon my experience, whatever number you come up with in your head, multiply x4. I assumed 50 boxes would be FAR more than enough. I filled in a bit over a month. Just tell the wife that Cuban cigars require plenty of room That’s pretty awesome you can pick it up vs shipping. That would be nice! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmbarton Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 There’s no doubt in my mind that I’ll wish I had gone larger. But, I’ve got to start somewhere and then complain to the misses over the course of a year or two how I’ve outgrown my Aristocrat and I’m throwing away money by missing 24:24 deals that I would buy if i had space to store the boxes. Filling a lake, drop by drop. It’ll happen. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liquid360 Posted July 30, 2018 Author Share Posted July 30, 2018 Lol well sounds like you have a plan. Prior to this, I had seven large desktop humidors around the house. Having one large humidor capable of storing boxes vs sticks... I can’t overstate just how awesome it is. As much as you suspect you’ll love it, you will love it even more and wonder how you ever survived without one. You can tell these were built to last lifetimes. They are just awesome, a gift from God.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I realize it’s not as aesthetic as an Aristocrat, but it is economic and holds humidity extremely well. All you need is a cool basement and you are in business. Just a suggestion from someone who also grew tired of desktops and Tupperware 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a suggestion from someone who also grew tired of desktops and Tupperware I’m not going to argue with that! Coolerdors and Tupperdors are the very definition of “function over form.” Where they fall short in presentation, they excel in performance. Aristocrats are both form and function, which of course comes at a price. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liquid360 Posted July 30, 2018 Author Share Posted July 30, 2018 I value form as much as function. To each their own.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
