So that is that ? Go M+... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No temp control because my house stays a constant 70 dF year round plus or minus a degree or two. I don’t know how many boxes there are but you can double the number you see due to each shelf being double stacked front and back. I keep my inventory on an excel spreadsheet and note what shelf and front or back on each box. Nice drawer!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two-caret diamond stud earrings and two Burberry purses this year and she's made up a lot of ground.

joshhooper7 Posted October 24, 2018 Share Posted October 24, 2018 I'm currently in the works of getting an Aristocrat myself, but I'm working to get a custom built one. The space I have for it is only 32'' wide, so I'm hoping he can build me a custom humidor that is a blend of two of his commercial style humidors. 20'' deep, 84'' tall, 32'' wide. Figure I can have 4 angled display shelves and 2 shelves for stacking boxes on top of one another, and then have the humidity control sit on the bottom of the unit. I'm thinking across the 4 display shelves I'll be able to have 28-32 boxes, one opened and then the second box sitting in wait behind it, and then another 50-60 boxes on the two shelves below it. Can't wait! Please share some pictures of his warehouse, I'd love to see progress photos of all of the projects he's working on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just picked up a 6.6 carat necklace in Qatar to give her for Valentines/Christmas when I get back from this deployment. Hopefully that eases the pain of the delivery boys being at our house a few days after I get back! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Habana Mike Posted October 24, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted October 24, 2018 Congrats on your choice! Bob's a legend and fantastic furniture maker. I got the M Plus 25D a few years back. 4 boxes deep. 200+ boxes easy. 2 singles drawers good for another few hundred sticks...it's been great!

SMQQKIN Posted October 24, 2018 Share Posted October 24, 2018 5 hours ago, mtapia3 said: I placed my order for an M Plus 25D THC a couple weeks ago. But I’m still debating whether I should go with the glass doors or solid wood. Based on the hot climate here in SoCal, Mr Staebell recommend I go with the solid wood doors to maximize the life of the cooling unit. However, I prefer the look of the glass doors. Does anyone living in a hotter climate have cooling issues with glass doors? I live in OC & have the wood doors with temp control & have no temp issues. I don't think glass doors will be an issue with temp control unless the sun hits the cabinet. You wouldn't want it to be in the sun anyway or it will fade the wood.High humidity has been an issue for me because I am near the ocean. Bob doesn't have a system that removes humidity. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine is a M+ THC. Have tinkered with the idea of selling it and getting larger. Decided to just keep it and add another.

sikfrayme Posted October 24, 2018 Share Posted October 24, 2018 As per most of your recommendations, that you always buy bigger than you need. I am the poster child of the reason you get more space than you need. In fact, I too have a beautiful M+ THC Aristocrat, which I must sadly/proudly sell as I have outgrown the beauty. And living in a condo in Los Angeles, doesn't allow me to keep the Aristocrat and the countless coolers. So, if anyone is interested here are some photos of my M+ with THC, perfect working condition, please DM for additional information. Again, its located in Southern California, and sorry but the cigars are not included haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Homer Posted October 24, 2018 Share Posted October 24, 2018 Its a shame that it´s allmost impossible to get those humidors in Europe. At least shipping + taxes makes the price relly high. I would love to have Aristocrat M plus (Black ). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, I had this humidor totally emptied out and in the meantime while I was prepping the new setup. I filled this one back up....yes....i have a problem. But, dont we all?! I should have my new setup all buttoned up in the next couple weeks, and I upload some photos of my wineador conversions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smokin.joe Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 Mine is about 18 months old and is the M plus THC. I have two pull out drawers and 3 shelves that also can be pulled out (you want this). I bought this one to replace my Aristocrat end table humidor (holds about 35 boxes). Well, after consolidating from the end table humidor and 4 lockers at the cigar club, I ended up with almost no room left in the M + humidor. So, as others had stated, buy more than you think you need. Currently I have roughly 74 boxes (including loose cigars in the 2 drawers) in the M+ humidor and 30 boxes in the end table humidor. Since I live in the Dallas area, I was able to use a moving van to bring the M plus to my home. It did take 3 full sized men to get this into my home. I wanted it upstairs but realized we didn't have enough muscle, so I settled for downstairs bedroom. Bob Staebell is a very talented wood worker and humidor builder. He does a fair amount of custom woodwork in addition to humidors. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I currently have 46 boxes, with 3 more incoming, so the M+ should be more than sufficient and I can always buy another at a later date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeypots Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 Aristocrat Plus Something like 40 boxes with quite a bit of space for a few more and a bunch of odds and ends in the drawer. I like wood doors. I think it's a better look. Doors keep the cigars in the dark and they prevent nosey people from seeing my cigars. One drawer is plenty for me, I take out cigars every once in a while and put them in a desk top. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
