Colt45 Posted October 12, 2006 Posted October 12, 2006 A few members have taken delivery of large cabinet humidors recently. Now that you've had a little time with them, I'm curious to know your thoughts. How are they overall, features, etc. Is there anything you might have done a bit differently? Thanks for any insight.

Colt45, I have had my Aristocrat MxT for a few months now and love it. Best thing I ever decided on was getting it temp controled. Now im not waking up in the middle of the night worrying that my cigars are too warm. I keep mine at 64 rh and 66 degrees. A bit pricey, but its very well worth it to me....not to the wife though:-|
manny816 Posted October 12, 2006 Posted October 12, 2006 I am also very happy with my Aristocrat MxT. It has remained rock solid since I first set it up, 64rh/69 temp.
gyosa Posted October 12, 2006 Posted October 12, 2006 i have had an aristocrat for @ 6 years now , and love it... the only thing i'd do different is retro-fit the shelf so it slides out like the drawer. i think the new ones do it. -bk
Colt45 Posted October 12, 2006 Author Posted October 12, 2006 Thanks guys - short of a small walk-in, this seems to be the ultimate way to go. (but I guess a LARGE walk-in would be the ultimate way to go:-D )

Feel free to post photos if you like being envied.
TR Posted October 13, 2006 Posted October 13, 2006 I love my Aristocrat MTX THC....I have mine at 62/62 and flawless....I am nearly out of room......(thanks Rob, Lisa and Smitthy)....I should have got the bigger box....:-D
anacostiakat Posted October 13, 2006 Posted October 13, 2006 Been less than a month since delivery of my Avallo DDD Chilled unit. I could not be more happy except if I had more moolah to get a bigger one! It is working perfectly and I have maintained my Aristocrat Endtable unit as well. I have lots of work to do. . . ;-)

I have an Aristocrat M, Natural Cherry, plain doors, plain top with no crown molding. It's a great solid box and I've had it for 6 months. What would I have done different? It came with one upper sliding drawer standard and extra dividers, which makes a great and versatile storage solution for loose singles or for moving ready-to-smoke boxes into easy to reach. I would have gotten another one of these drawers, with extra dividers. They are just so much more versatile than a regular shelf. Next I would have made the remaining shelves sliding shelves. It would make access to the back of the shelves much easier. Temp control is a toss up for me. I keep my AC running all summer for the dog who is home alone all day, so temp isn't a huge problem. I have had the temp spike to 75-80 a few times when a chilly GF changed the AC setting. It was a tense couple of weeks checking to make sure I didn't have beetles after that. I would suggest a temp controlled unit if you don't like to run the home AC or if you live in very hot climates where the room can easily spike over 75-80 regularly or if you have a spouse or roomamte who may change the AC settings without your knowledge. Some pics after I first got it, don't worry I've since filled some of that space thanks to Rob and Lisa.

Deano Posted October 15, 2006 Posted October 15, 2006 Avallo DDD. IMHO the best bang for the buck out there!

Claudius Posted October 17, 2006 Posted October 17, 2006 I have a big antique cabinet (1850) transformed into a humidor cabinet. Looks awesome but cannot contain more than 150 boxes approx. Temp is a little under 70 as I have A/C in the house. Just commissioned someone to build me a walk-in so I can go get my limited edition humis from the LCDH and show off the stuff that's currently buried at the bottom of the cabinet. And also build up my collection, of course.

I just ordered an Aristocrat Mxt with nat. cherry, plain top and plain doors. Bob customized the depth for me to fit a particular situation. I can't wait to get it. I also have an Avallo 2000 which I'm very happy with. You can never have enough storage space. ;-)
BigSlick Posted November 15, 2008 Posted November 15, 2008 Love my Avallo TD! Maintains consistant humidity thoughout, great seal, looks awesome and the price was right. Would love to have an Aristocrat and Petroglyph as well. In time I guess. TD
