new humidor

[kirscovitch]

just found out that i actually purchased this humidor. i was tossing around the idea of getting it but never actually put a bid in on it. (or so i thought i didnt) must have been drunk when i actually pulled the trigger. not all bad though for 60 bucks, i think......

Just a heads up....The cedar in that humi does not appear to be Spanish Cedar.......you may want to pick up some sheets and place them in the new humi. This is typical of many of the humis on ebay.

That's a pretty sweet deal right there. Congrats on your drunken victory.

 

[caudio51]

Congrats! I would definitely just double check the type of cedar when you get it.

 

[kirscovitch]

thanx guys. even if its not spanish cedar, putting some sheets in wouldnt be a big deal. i was just looking for a large chest type humi to store a few boxes.

Wtg.................

Make sure you line it with Cedar. Those humi's are usually pine and the only thing cedar is the divider in the tray. Notice in the comments of the auction how it says "Lined with Kiln Dried Cedar Dividers". Throwing some cedar in won't prevent mold or rot., you will need to fully line it. There are only a few known woods that naturally resist rot. Cedar and redwood are a few of them, thus the reason for spanish cedar in humidors (and the way it smells...mMmMmMmMm).

Looks beautiful, it will make a quick and fun project that you will be able to store lots of smokes in.

Hate to tell ya this but that is a certified POS! The whole thing together weighs like a pound. Total garbage if you can get out of the deal do it right away. Unfortuneately I bought one of those garbage boxes and believe you me that thing will never hold humidity. Total junk and keep that crap on ebay. The fact that they charge enough in shipping to double the damn price really lets you know it's total garbage.

If you want to get out of the auction, you can email the guy and ask questions like. Is it fully lined with spanish cedar (not just the dividers)? Tell him you have been talking to some cigar buddies that have advised you of "fake" humidors on eBay. Tell him you won't be 100% satisfied if you have been duped by misleading wording in their auctions.

might work for box storage though

That's your typical Asian market humidor. Probably plywood. Quality varies widely. Might be okay, you won't know 'til you get it. Good luck!

 

[Boppa-Wasch]

Good Luck on this one.

 

[TexaSmoke]

Looks like you just got more space. Have fun.

 

[jrohrer]

good luck bro...I almost pulled the trigget on one very similar, but have started shopping for coolers instead

have fun with that though!

actually spanish cedar is a mahogany and regular cedar is too aromatic for cigars. I'm pretty sure it's gonna be spanish cedar when you get it, but the whole humi's probably gonna be made of plywood and lined with just a thin layer of cedar. on the other hand, if it holds humidity who cares?

 

[AndrewDill]

Yeah, look's good. Just wait and see how you like it!

If it works out, 60 for a 400ct humi isn't bad at all.

Hope it turns out great for you!

just got her in the mail today. not bad if i do say so myself. its all spanish cedar. two trays and a hell of a lot of space. i gathered some empty boxes to see what kind of storage im looking at and i think i can squeeze at least 6boxes in it...

 

[Brian]
