Mr.T Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 Congratulations Jimmie, It looks great!! I have an Aristocrat from Bob and I am so glad I got one. I feel very reassured that my smokes are resting in such a fine piece of work and ideal environment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loki Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 Very nice. Might I suggest that once you start it up leave it empty for about a month for seasoning purposess. Thats what I did with mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KB24 Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 I got the Arisotcrat Plus about 3 months ago and I plugged it in and left for 36 hours then added the water once the temp got to the preset temp. I then let the humidity rise and season inside for another 3 days and then added the cigars. I have not once opened the humidor and read anything but the preset 68 deg / 65%rH. Thing is a damn work of art. ENJOY!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmie The Mum Posted January 23, 2008 Author Share Posted January 23, 2008 Yea, I need to have patience before I put the cigars in it. I started the seasoning process today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anacostiakat Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 I have a similar unit from Bob with a cut glass door. I actually use it as an endtable in my living room. Extremely well made and Bob is great to deal with. Congratulations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From Tuesday through Wed. I took two small bowls and put distilled water in them. I then microwave them for about 2 and half minutes (until real steamy) and put them in the humidor. I re steamed them every few hours. I believe this speeds up the seasoning process. Then on Wed. I plugged the unit in. It only took a few hours to get to 65%. I will let that run for a few days and on Saturday night or Sunday I will start to fill that baby up. P.S. I also put copper pennies (3) in the reservoir. Why? This will help prevent mold in the reservoir. You can also use a small piece of copper pipe. I would use the pre 1982 pennies as they were made with copper. I hope this helps.

KB24 Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 Did you order the temp and rH controlled unit. If you did and you were just trying to season the humidor quicker I would disagree with using that method. I think by using the bowls of distilled water and heating them up would be potential more damaging to the wood inside then if you just followed the instructions that were provided. If you did not order the rH controlled unit then I would still not use the "steam method" and would just place a couple bowls of distilled water in there for a few days and let things happen naturally. On another note---does that penny idea really prevent mold in the water resevoir? Sounds like a good idea and one I might try. I haven't had any mold in my Arisotcrat but on the instruction manual it does mention mold can grow on the pad in the resevior if not changed every 3-6 months.

I did use your method for all my humidors. But I never knew copper would help with the mold. Thanks alot for the help To KB, I ordered a THC 48 plus. Do you have any recommandations for seasoning.

The pennies work (pre 1982 ones have the most copper), I even spoke to Bob about it. As far as the distilled water and heating it. I've been doing that for years. A little steam will not warp the wood but I do understand everyone has their own methods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe that it's something in the chemical makeup of the extract. I don't know if it's true, but I haven't had any mold growing after a couple of years.
