A work of art.

I'm certain cigars will taste better coming out of this beautiful humidor.

I'd love one just like it, too bad you don't live in Canada :biggrin:

Beautiful. I have zero wood working skills, so stuff like this always amazes me.

I started the seasoning process last wednesday, decided to remove the green foam from the hydra humidifer & replaced it with kitty litter, set the hydra unit at 75% RH & put dish of distilled water on the shelf  and in the drawer the hydra unit ran constantly for a full day my calibrated hygrometer showed RH at 84% there was about a 10% difference between the two, I backed off on the hydra unit and just let everything stabilize, and give the spanish cedar time to absorb the moisture, RH slowly got down to 72% by sunday afternoon was able to get the hydra unit & my hygrometer witin 4% thats with both sitting next to each other I also added a second calibrated hygrometer in the drawer removed both dishes of DW & added a small container of KL inside the drawer, I set the hydra unit to 65 & by monday evening the lower hygro was at 72RH the drawer was at 68 RH  I tweaked the hydra unit down a little last night this morning I was at 68% top & bottom going to let this sit for couple of more days & should be moving cigars hopefully by thursday

I am not concerned about what you think as I can tell you don't do it often.

I used to be a people person, but then people ruined that for me.

Wow!  That's one nice humi.
Yes, it's a pineapple hat.  No, you can't put your cigar out in it.

Its been almost two months since I started using humidor RH is staying 66%-68% I added a keyed lock mainly just to keep door tight against the weather strip, here is an updated photo:

Hi Terry,
That is a GREAT humidor. I know you will be proud each time your open it to get a cigar. You really should build a few to sell!

Thanks & good question I need to sit down & do a complete inventory I've thought I have it full several times now & keep finding ways to add one more box, mostly using cabinet for aging,smoking out of a desktop & tupperdor I recently had to set up
