Cigar Geeks

Purchased a cabinet humidor from Quality Importers on Amazon.  Received it Friday and really happy with it so far.  The packaging was good, nothing broke or scratched, and all parts were included.  Was able to unpack it myself and move it around to where I wanted it.  Comes with wheels that have brakes and were easy to install.  The door seems to seal good and should hold the humidity well.  A pretty cheap hygrometer is included and right now trying to get it calibrated, don't have plans to use that as my main source.  Have a cigar oasis Magnum to handle the humidification of the cabinet and also got LED light strips and a door switch to have them come on when the door is opened.  Starting to season it and that will take a few days for sure.  This is a bigger undertaking than I expected, but in the end I am sure it will be well worth it.  Will update this thread as I go along.  Right now just some basic photos showing what I am putting together.

Nice looking cabinet. Where does the door latch? Looks like there is a magnet or something at the top, does it also latch in the middle?

 It has 3 magnet latches (top, middle and bottom) at the bottom there is also a latch for the door to catch onto of course a key lock in the middle.  Overall the door stays closed really well.

Pictures aren't working for me (mobile or PC).

6/24/17 Update---- Have seasoned the cabinet for about a week now and humidity is stable and doing good.  Added LED lighting to it as you can see and pretty happy with it.  Was worried about if the door would close good in the position I have the strips and it does.  Trying to decide if I want to install the IR door open switch so that the LED's come on only when the door is open.  Right now it's not installed and sort of like being able to turn them on/off and change the color with the included remote.  Will start stocking it tomorrow after it has a night to re-stabilize.  The picture of the red isn't good at all, looks better than the picture

.............Nice.................When you going to ship it to me?????....................ENJOY IT.

If you have a couple more hygrometers laying around I would add them at different levels. My cabinet varies quite a bit from top to middle to bottom where I have the humidifier. Your cabinet is much nicer than mine, I have an old model. What's with the big round hole at the top? Does it have some way to pump air from the bottom up the sides or back and out the top?

Also looks like the door on yours has extra Spanish cedar that I guessing when closed the Spanish cedar makes a nice seal all the way around. Mine doesn't have that and I think that's why mine varies so greatly. I need to upgrade, but it's hard to justify when I already have one that works, just could be a little better.

Looks great!

 With the exception of the cedar on the door yours sounds like mine with the hole on top and all.  Have three wireless tag temp/humidity monitors in the cabinet and there is about a 2 % difference in humidity between top and bottom.  Don't have any other fans except what the Magnum blows and that seems pretty powerful right now, have it pointed at the door so that the air flow goes up (or so I hope).  Once I start putting sticks in it, I'll see how everything goes.  The door seal is very tight, you have to give a good pull/push to get it shut.

Very nice.  Can't wait to see it loaded up ...

Finished loading the cabinet today. Even though it says 2000 cigars will fit, believe that might be if everyone of them is loose and you don't have any boxes in the cabinet.  Even then I think a lot of them will need to be stacked really high to get them all in.  Don't have an exact count, but have about 1200 in the cabinet now, with pretty much every nook an cranny full.  A few pictures showing it loaded:

Such a beautiful site.  Kinda makes me want to cry. :cry:

No better sight than a full humidor. :thumbsup:

That's a great looking setup.  I wish my wife would let me get something like that.

Love it. Would love something that size, but will probably have to get a end table looking one for now.

Nice looking cabinet
