Need More Storage!!!

I am sick and tired of having to smoke an entire box before I can order my next!!! I need to just open the flood gates and have the ability to buy boxes at will. However, I can't do it until I get more storage. So, I thought I would get some input here before I go ahead and leap into investing in a larger cabinet humidor.

I have checked out the Avallos (small one), the Antietam type (they seem to be everywhere, and relatively cheap), one made by Johnathon Thomas (?), and Staebell & Assoc. in Dallas.

Any feedback on these any any others is much appreciated. My lovley wife would appreciate if I stayed away from the coolerdor route (I guess she does not realize how much cheaper they are, hahaha!)

Not wanting to spend much more than $500-600 for cabinet, humidifier etc. I will never store more than 10-15 boxes (I say that now), but probably do need a couple of drawers.

Thoughts, feelings, emotions?

The small cab that Viper is building is for me. I fiddled with the dimensions and specs that I wanted. Very reasonable for the size I wanted. In the end, it will hold 6-8 boxes (depending on the size of the boxes) and 100-200 singles. It will have one shelf, a solid wood door and a lock. He can do pull out shelves and drawers as well. For the size you need, shoot him a pm and see what he can do.

Very nice Viper!!! Is that Legends box that is listed as "in progress" on your site? What is the average turn around on a cabinet of that size?

Wait until I'm commissioning another one in a few months and I have to explain to Mrs. Legends why I need a larger one.

Yes the "in progress" one is his. As far as turn around, I will normally ship one of that size in about 3 weeks. Legend's cab will go out by this Monday. I like them to sit 3 or 4 days after the last coat of varnish. It really sucks when the packing material is stuck to the cabinet when he unpacks it. :smt042

I will make it out of whatever species of wood you want and what ever size you want with what ever features you want. No that alot of what ever!

What I am trying to say is it will be exactly what you want and I can usually get it inside of your budget without problems. Just don't order a cab made out of Australian Lace Wood!

I need a 15-20 box cabinet for under $100. How's that for exactly what I want within my budget?

I will build it for that and it will hold that many boxes.......but you won't want it in your house and it may not actually hold humidity.:smt119
