    Man... This looks just like the Aristocrat

    Also, here you say the door frames are "solid" I had to dig around on the site to find where he makes a "sandwich" lid for desktops. My bad. Will

    Man... This looks just like the Aristocrat

    God, I'm not saying he's doing anything wrong. Where's my facepalm smiley? I just totally disagree that solid hardwood poses such a problem, and I prefer them. I have a humidor made of solid wild cherry for 5years+ now. It was not a "fortune." It was actually less expensive than a similar...

    Man... This looks just like the Aristocrat

    Cynicism started on post 12 and was really more "skeptical." He uses solid wood for the doors & lids, if that indicates anything. Follow me here. MDF is a manufactured man-made material. In contrast, solid wood is natural and must be prepared prior to joinery and finishing. For example...

    Man... This looks just like the Aristocrat

    I also don't go to the Guggenheim to admire the cabinetry holding the articles on display. I'm not saying anything bad about Bob's humidors. I'm sure they're well built. All I'm saying is that I think there's an element of economy when MDF is used and I'm just not buying what I consider the...

    Man... This looks just like the Aristocrat

    Interesting. Who knows? Maybe the one you linked, that's probably made in China, would operate just as well. Will Why would you feel "turned down." Just wondering.

    It's weird how there's so little reference to MDF on that website.

    Man... This looks just like the Aristocrat

    Guess I need to do a more thorough search on Staebells stuff. I just spent 10minutes looking at their website, and I just don't see any reference to MDF. The carcass looks like solid wood. If your joinery is good, MDF or solid wood should work. For the price of an aristocrat, I'd want it to...

    Do his MDF cost as much as the solid hardwood versions?

    Man... This looks just like the Aristocrat

    Where is it made? Reads like it's veneer on (probably) MSD or shitty particle board. Point is, the carcass has to be able to hold up to a humid interior & fluctuations. Will

    What beer did you drink today?

    ugh. IMHO, this beer kinda sucks. Probably because I didn't do any research before I ordered one at dinner the other night, and found it was closer to a heffe than what they claim is an Premium Lager. Tonight (and many more to come): Smuttynose IPA Will

    Done using a humidor!

    Your new end table will probably work fine. The DC humis probably leak. Keep them for dry boxing. Still, get a cooler and fill everything up :) Will

    Who smokes this crap?

    Nothing wrong with JR, IMHO.

    Cigar Oasis XL Problem?

    You can calibrate it in a sense, meaning you can set its humidity setting based on another calibrator. The XL I have wasn't off too bad. I opened it up, and put 65% beads in it, along with about another 2 pounds here and there. I have it set at 65%, and it seems to hang around that mark...

    Looking for some help...

    You try calling a local pig roaster? Seriously, they'd probably know.
