  • BOTL UPCOMING MAINTENANCE

    Hi Everyone, as mentioned in my introduction post, BOTL needs quite a bit of updating, patching and whatever else I might come across. Over time BOTL may be unreachable on occasion as I do migrations or updates, etc. Just be patient - we'll be back! I'll generally try to keep these maintenances until later in the evenings.

Hey everyone,
I currently have a good sized armoire in my bedroom that is without a tv or any real purpose right now. Right now the idea of converting it to a humidor is a real possibility. Has anyone ever done this or heard of someone doing this?

Wow, I was just thinking about this yesterday. We have a large one with the half circle top. I was wondering how one would convert it...looking forward to the pics

My son is doing the conversion. He remove the original doors, all the shelves and front and is creating new ones with heavier harware and I believe a magnetic seal. This allows better use of the cab since it had a top shelf for a VCR etc.

I have three 180 quart coleman coolers and a 120 quart igloo I plan on converting to ice chests. This TV cabinet was custom built for us over 15 years ago by a 65 year old master craftsman in CT. With the imergence of flat screens it sadly became just a nice piece of furniture in storage. Wife hates the cooledors and came up with the idea and is funding the detailed conversion.

Good luck with your own project.

Very thought-provoking; as you say, with the decline of the tube TV many of those old TV armoires should be coming available for sale, often cheap - and would make an awfully nice alternative to the arm-and-a-leg priced custom humidor cabinets!

And speaking of conversions - have y'all seen the converted .50 caliber ammo can humidor? It was autographed by some celebrity and auctioned off awhile ago. Thinking about this, the 40MM cans should be good for 8-10 boxes of cigars easily - and the new style plastic footlockers would be just about ideal! Just thinking...
