So I found this "wine cellar" that would be great for when I buy a house. But I think it would be better suited for my cigars! Click the linky....then go change your pants. Wine Cellar

    I'll be adding that to my list of goals:

    -build wine cellar to store my cigars.

    That is so bad-ass! I wonder how much it would cost to have that put in? Up until this moment, my goal was to either have a very large cabinet humidor (like B&M size) or a small walk-in humidor. That has now changed.

    I've seen these before - way badass. I know there's also companies that will build you kits to fit a room... my fiance's grandparents are very wealthy, and finished their custom (freakin GORGEOUS) home a few years ago. On their bottom floor they just built an additional small room, which a company then shipped them all the fitting racks and equipment. It was basically wine-cellar-in-a-box.

    My buddy and I were talking about this the other day though, debating the merits of maybe a dual storage room (wine and cigars, since both need to be temp and humidity regulated). The optimum storage levels for wine are between 50-60 degrees temp and around 60 rh, however, so I'm not thinking that it'd be successful...

    You could always try to partition it. And your sig is hilarious! Kudos.

    Yeah that's pretty much what we determined, but then it kinda eliminates the original point - to utilize the same temp and rh controlled environment to store both cigars and wine. In partitioning it, and then having to have separate climate systems, it kinda defeats the point beyond having your cigars and wine in the same general location.

    And thanks - just randomly occurred to me one day and made me chuckle too

    True. That didn't occur to me until just now. If only we lived in a perfect world.

    I had to change my pants, twice. I made the mistake of leaving the link up on my computer when I came back.

    My god, I'm in love! I'm going to have my brother who is a mechanical engineer and estimator come up with a rough figure on how much materials and tools would be to build this thing!

    Awesome, loved the entire site too, saved to favorites.

    Let us know what you come up with. I'm interested to see what that would be.

    I just got an erection! Man, imagine one room for my cigars and another for my IT operations. Super Secret CIA stuff.
  • andrewhandrewh Posts: 97
    That is incredible, i wonder what the price tag is.

    I just want a staircase to go down like that into my Man Cave... Imagine crawling through a hidden spot passing great cigars on the way to your HDTV and Dartboard...

    That thing would be a crowning jewel in any home. Now I just need tons of money and my own home, or the numbers to this week powerball
  • KriegKrieg Posts: 5,188 ✭✭✭
    awesome, I wonder if they could build that if your house is on a slab...

    That has got to be the most awesome thing I have EVER seen and something I am going to look into when I get a home of my own! That just blows me away...

    I would love to have something like this as well.
    I'm not too crazy on the opening floor door, but if you placed it right , I guess it wouldn't look too stupid. I sure wouldn't have it in the middle of my kitchen (or any other room) that's for sure.

    I'll buy a box for the first guy to post a video of his wife falling in his trapdoor humidor
  • LasabarLasabar Posts: 4,472 ✭✭✭
    I'd love to have an underground airtight (mostly) humidor... but I don't think I'd like the steps, what if I had to fart, then the steps would just make me fart in my humidor...

    Then my cigars would become.... infused
