That is a darn good question Sketch. Guess it really depends on what I have room for one way or another. I still have have some more organizing and fitting to do. Or I guess you can call it creative planning at this point. At least I have consolidated into 1 vessel rather than multiple.Sketch6995 said:so how many cigars have to be missing from the box before you take them out and put them in the singles tray?
That's the part that really bothers me LOL
As as cool as this is... it allows the wife to actually see what I have. Ugh. This will not be good.Life is too short to smoke bad cigars!!!

The Wife offered to buy me a Cabinet Humidor for the family room for Christmas! Right now all my humidors and coolers are at work, which is where all my CAS cigars are delivered. She only works 3 days a week, so doesn't see everything that comes in! And CCOM has been excellent arranging delivery on Tuesdays and Thursdays, the days she's not there! Not sure if I want to bring boxes home every time they come in! I may try to talk her into letting me get it for work!matkn293 said:

Now that is as sexy as bum of the week thread.
Well...........almost.
Friends don't let good friends smoke cheap cigars.1 -
Here she is. Went through and got the rest of the singles in. Everything organized for now. Think it's time to shed a little stock hmmmm...
Need to add a small trim piece at the top once I get my compressor and nailed back from my FIL. Looks like I may have to hot glue the light strips on the sides and top. They are not sticking the best.Life is too short to smoke bad cigars!!!

The magna is working great and the unit recovers from the doors being opened quickly. I would say within 5 minutes. Got the wifi module on her and it's awesome. Can track temp and humidity. Seems like one of the first things I do when I wake up is check to make sure everything is good. So far have not had a problem.

Show us what it looks like now. Is it holding humidity well?matkn293 said:Wow. Just read back through this. Hard to believe it's been almost a year.The higher.......the fewer. ( Alexander Rozhenko)

So I was browsing through humidity in the search bar related to my cooler being like 10 rh different in the bottom and top and...wow... This is unbelievably epic. Seeing this built from beginning to end was something else. Unbelievably cool.0

Mine is clearly better though.

Thank you for the kind words.
Does your cooler have mold mold on the top? LolLife is too short to smoke bad cigars!!!

Lol nope that's ash that I haven't washed off. I hope to do something like that one day, but I don't know anything about woodworking. I've been looking at used humidors for a while trying to find something that strikes my fancy. I've also got my eye on a few new ones I may just pull the trigger on. This though, because you built it yourself, is drastically more cool. I bet that every time someone asks you where you got that, and you tell them that you built it, you stand up a little straighter.0

That is really really nice. I can't even do a single shelf to display my Sonic Screwdrivers.0

in the middle of a medium size custom cabinet build currently. joined up to browse the forum here. couple of questions for you, (i did not see them answered above as i browsed the 6 pages here), how often do you have to refill your magna? looking at the unit online i see a varying refill time, from every 2 weeks to once every 3 months. wondering if the size of the cabinet and/or the amount of cigars effects the refill rate. also, what kind of weather stripping did you use to seal the doors? any issues with the seal, loss of humidity?

I would think your refill times would be dependant on weather conditions and the seal on the humi

Good morning all! Been a while. Hope all is well with you fine folks.
Refill on the Magna will be situation dependent. Size, relative humidity, how well your cabinet holds, other media to assist with stabilization etc. I refill mine about every 3 weeks or so.
For the sealing agent, I just used some door seal that I picked up from amazon or HD. Been long enough I don't remember. I do not have any issue with seal around the humidor. I sealed everything with silicone as I was building it. Every joint and fastener got a silicone treatment. However, when you do that, if you are not in it all the time, you do need to open the doors occasionally to "air it out" so to speak. I just open and close the doors twice.

One thing to note...
Be strategic where you place your magna for a couple reasons. A. for humidity dispersion. The bottom is not the most ideal in a taller cabinet. Middle would be best or have decent fans running to circulate. Also keep mind of what you are putting around the magna. Loose non-wrapped cigars are subject to mold. Even wrapped cigars can be subject if they are directly over the magna due to the higher humidity coming out of the unit to stabilize the whole cabinet. I actually leave the area directly over the magna open for this reason.Life is too short to smoke bad cigars!!!
