Show off your Humi set-up

I've been inspired by some of the threads around here... we have cigar pics and smoking pics... now we need Set Up pics!

I'll kick this off later today... I'm gonna snap photos of my 50 count, 150 count and my cooler... I figure it will be fun to show off what you have and a great way to pass along ideas to others... like the guy who set up the Bucket humi... was that King of the Cove? I can't remember, but that's a great idea... I figure it's a good way to spread the ideas... since we ALL need more storage space, though our wives and girlfriends will probably disagree...

anyway, I'll post mine up later today... jump in guys!

just a bump... this baby was going strong and I KNOW you guys got some good stuff from Xmas to show off... I didn't get any cigar stuff, but I scored a lot of scotch!

my bar is a little cluttered, but here they are... The Glenfiddich 15 was from my Mother-in-Law, The Glenrothes was from a secret santa thing we do with my wife's family, the Glenlivet 12 was from my Ccom Secret Santa (thanks Greg!) and the Jura 16 was from my wife... 4 bottles and man are they different... the Jura is probably my favorite, but they are all nice...

Never heard of Jura before, might have to check that out since the rest of your tastes look a lot like mine. Nice collection!

I had never heard of it either, but it's really nice... my wife got me some Whiskey Stones, so that's how I've had the Jura... The stones are cool because they really focus the flavor of what you're drinking (doesn't get watered down)... but they don't get all THAT cold... I'll only be using them for the stuff I really like... I don't think i'd want to accentuate the flavors of a lower quality spirit...

I got those a year or so ago, and I agree that they're for high quality only. First time I tried them was at my buddy's place in some Balvenie Doublewood. That stuff's so velvety/buttery that I don't need the cold as much. Just a crazy thought...you ever try putting the bottle in the fridge like a bottle of wine? I haven't, but I can't see any reason not to except that I'm too terrified to destroy a good bottle!

Some people love Jura, and some people hate it.

Personally, I hate it, and if I want a scotch with some saline/nautical notes, I will go with either Bunnahabhain 12 and Bruichladdich 12...

Both are much more complex, much more balanced, and frankly, more enjoyable. At least, that is my opinion.

I've thought the same thing.. might have to research that a little...

Ken Light

"Research" is definitely in order. Cheers to research! Hahahha

Picked up a new humi (new to me, could be old)....now all I need is more cigars!

You might notice that there is no shelf in this one. That may be because of the age of this humidor. The 'story' is that it comes from an antiques dealer that was closing and the person who got this didn't smoke cigars. I picked it up for a good price. Yes, it really is as wide as my kitchen chair! The wood is MUCH thicker than any of my other humidors. I tried it out with some of my biggest ISOM sticks (Sublimes, Esplendidos, Behike, San Cristobal...) and I can fit 65 big sticks, or over 100 regular sized.

Keeping in mind that I have only been involved for three months, here are the pictures of my cabinet. I also keep a 150 ct. humidore for exotics and I have a 150 ct. tupperdore for dog rockets. The cabinet will hold about 1200 total. It is about half full at this point.

Great looking setup Greg!!!!!

This is my first humidor and larger cigar purchase. I have another 20 cigars on their way.

Any thoughts about how I have it set up, with 3 drymistat tubes AND the foam that came with the humidor?

What about how I have the drymistats separated from the cigars by the dividers?

Also, do I even need to have the paper towels underneath those tubes?

I am jealous of all lol

Thanks. I feel so inadequate having the small humidors at work with me here, but
1) I can't justify anything much larger
2) No one will ship a 250 ct or larger over here anyway, so...
I try for quality over quantity.

That, my friend, is a great selection of cigars. I find myself a little jealous. Take care and Thank You for your service.
