What a dfference this site can make

[Ramon]

My buddy and I are building a new cabinet humidor from scratch. Will post pictures when it is done...in a few years I expect.

Sounds good, have you got plans from someplace or are you drawing your own up? Just be careful of the Spanish Cedar dust when you're cutting the wood, it's extremely bad for you.

We're drawing up our own plans. I didn't know about the cedar dust. We found cedar planks that are tongue and groove so hopefully we won't have to do a whole lot of cutting. I have a glass panel door that we are using as the catalyst to the whole design.

Sounds a good project Larry.

Great project Larry and anyone else that fancies the challenge. Although one's never going to get the sealing qualities of a small, tight box that a humidor provides, a walk in unit is quite achievable. The shop I recently visited in York (see 'Where to Buy'), had a corner unit in the shop and although he admitted that R/H readings varied within the environment, overall it was doing a good job. The owner spoke of readings being quite different depending on where you placed the hygro, which can only be expected in a large volume space eh.
Keep everyone posted Larry, sounds good.

Hope the cedar U plan to use is not the type thety use in closets.
This will not be good for your cigars. Most places and people who build use luan plywood. Its mahonogy and the oils act perfectly with humity.
Hope this helps and will cut $ and time on your project. The cigar boxes will have enough spanish cedar to keep the cigars straight and help with the ageing. I;ll see if I can get wifie to take some pic. so U can see mine.

Dear CJ

There are far too many of these little "one lines" your producing of late to just be dissmissed as idle jest.
So let me be the first in holding you to account.
I'm going on record as saying, CJ " YOUR SLIGHTLY OFF CENTRE " and your "little one lines" are not going un-noticed.

Wish you every success with your project.Without wanting to repeat what has been said prior, the importance of utilising Spanish Cedar cannot be overemphasised, i found it difficult to source Spanish Cedar in the UK .I built the first humidor i owned and the project took ten days to complete, and this was only a very small humidor which held about 25 cigars in total.Another thing is to buy the best quality of hinges you can afford, as these are equally important.

I have a friend (the first American to do the Cigar Walk actually) who is working on a Tardis Humidor.

If any of you are interested let me know and I will put you in touch.

I am not sure if it will let you go back in time and let you smoke all those great Puro's over again, but it's not a bad idea....

As a newbie cigar smoker (started on holiday in Varedero last May) I trawled the net looking for a forum. Initially I found the Friends of Habanos which seemed ok, lots of good advice etc. Then I found you guys and in the short time I've been here i've bought a 300 stick humi, a brilliant encyclopedia of Cuban cigars and bought another selection to try. Thats on top of the pile of notes that my parents are taking to cuba for me on the weekend ! I had the last encyclopedia and it was the ex display one and i got ?10 off which allowed me to add another cigar to the delivery !

I'm going through a rough time in work at the moment on top of a nasty divorce, so finding a new hobby which allows me to relax and rest is the first step forward I've taken in a long time.

Thanks guys for your help.

Sorry for highjacking the thread.

That's what it all about, this place can get quite infectious. It's a great hobby as it's not just about lighting it up and smoking it. there's the storing of them, looking after them, researching what you fancy buying next, working out how your going to get your hands on them and from where, the excitment of watching them land on your doormat. Not least of all having to look at jammy gits smoking exclusive cigars in bloody Teddington on their week off!

[PoohBore]

Don't mind the jammy gits or even the Man bag's. Makes me smile !

By the way what does HERF stand for ?

[Robusto]

HERF.
Men gather to smoke cigars and chat about men's things.
Wait for it...

On their TWO weeks off, biotch!

[daverave999]

To clarify , herf is not an acronym, it's just a verb used instead of smoke, puff, toke, etc. when referring to cigars. 'A' herf is also a cigar smoking session.
