This is an amazing piece of furniture that just happens to be a humidor.
Manufactured by hand - thanks Bob Staebell Bob's Website

Arrival - boxed to withstand anything.

Packed humidor - I was in a hurry, emptied 2 x 48 Qt. cooli'doors. Some boxes are not visible packed at the back. I had to remove the top singles drawer. Tomorrow I'll do some sorting to get more space :)

Aristocrat Plus THC-digital temp
Humidor has two Peltier cooling systems

Still left with cooli'doors - I grew faster than the 2 month wait :laugh:

Well worth the wait.

Beautiful humidor! Although it's too bad you've already outgrown it. :laugh:

I imagine you can organize it a bit and more space will become available. Very nice indeed! :thumbs:
 
That is one nice piece of furniture/equipment. I imagine having something like that when i own a house someday. Gorgeous! Great conversation piece as well i'd assume.
 
I thought it looked familiar...that is the model he started making based on my order! The one in the picture on the Plus-S page is mine. I wanted the drawers on the bottom so that the cigars would be higher up and thus easier to access. I have had mine for about a year, and still going strong.

Congrats on the purchase! You will enjoy it.

Thanks Guys. :)

The pics do not do justice to this humi, it is a work of art - seriously!

JK - you are right! In fact, I read your thread and loved the humi. I made one change as you have noted. I took away one storage drawer at the bottom to claim more humi space. It increased the internal space by just over 1 cubic foot but I had to add an extra Peltier cooler due to the increase.

What a beautiful humidor....congratulations!

I'm looking at the same cabinet with some mods - maybe taller (to fit existing space here). I'd be interested to know how the coolers / humidifiers are working out a couple of months down the road. Also, did you have to calibrate the electronics when you started it up?

Thanks, and again, congratulations - !!!! - B.B.S.
 
Outstanding peice of work. That is almost exactly the unit I am considering. I may be contacting you for some info. Edit...That is, if me contacting you for info is OK with you.

Good call. I am, of course, wishing I had more room. I just didn't want to ante up for the second Peltier. Good job.

BBS- I have had mine for a year, and it still runs like clockwork. The only initial adjustments necessary are to set the temp and humidity to your liking. The defaults are 65% and around 65-70 degrees, as I recall. I did try to calibrate mine, but the Staebell controller is more likely to be accurate than anything you would calibrate with, so it is really just an exercise.

I did have a stretch of a month or so where my humidity was running too high. Unfortunately, Bob's system is only designed to increase humidity, not decrease it (other than the slight effect of the Peltier cooling unit). I ended up putting 65% beads in mine and the problem straightened itself out.

Bob does the calibration when he tests the humidor.
As mentioned, it was set to go when it arrived. Had the
outside temp been above say 75 degrees, the unit would
have needed time to settle because bringing down the temp
raises the RH.

This is a set and forget system. If the temp
goes above 70 degrees, the two peltier cooling systems kick in.
If water is needed the system draws from the reservoir.

This is not a cheap unit, you can buy many cooli'doors for
the price :laugh: However, and I speak for myself here,
there is something wonderful about opening a beautiful cabinet
to select a stick.

Sure, feel free to ask or contact me, Bob deserves the praise,
I'm just the messenger.

JK - that's interesting.

Did the RH go up due to outside temp? In other words, will, IYO, the extra Peltier cooler prevent this? Somehow I think it will!

What quantity of beads did you add and was this just for the few months?

Brian
 
I look at some of your guys' collections and I think to myself "how do you decide what to smoke?" My choice is really quite simple since I have only 2 small desktop humidors and not many smokes :)

Great pics and great collection.
 
Nice humi.

I'll stick w/ my coolers though. Not sure if the wifey would enjoy paying that for a humidor.
