what you're doing

It will be an electronically controlled and very stable environment given the insulating nature of a "refrigerator". No temp fluctuations, extremely consistent humidity and nice display for my cigars, I hope! I will be working on it more in the next few days as more of the components I ordered, arrive.

I intend on utilizing the existing shelves and adding spanish cedar sides, storing some cigars within smaller spanish cedar boxes and placing my existing humidor on the bottom shelf for separate cigar aging purposes (and for my more expensive cigars). If the drawers/ shelves I build don't turn out to my satisfaction I will purchase some Spanish cedar shelves/ drawers from an online retailer. I will also be utilizing a Cigar Oasis Plus 3.0 Electronic Humidifier for humidity regulation.

Thanks. I installed the temperature regulator last night and am holding from 67° to 70° and had settled in at 69.3° this morning. I placed 7 empty cigar boxes and a 8"x10" spanish cedar 1/2" plank inside to start "seasoning" the interior and will install the humidifier this evening. Will let that run for 48 hours to set the RH and hope to have cigars going in Friday evening or Saturday morning.

Checking in on the status of the wineador build as I battled through some initial high humidity challenges last night. I reduced the humidity output of the Oasis humidifier at 10PM as the wineador is proving to be extremely efficient at climate retention. The pics are from the installed Boveda Butler sensor. The temperature level is dead on accurate but the humidity sensor reading may be 2% to 5% low. I will need to proof the reading against two other hygrometers I have in the wineador this evening and make any necessary calibration adjustments. I have not yet set up the wifi ability on the electronic humidifier as I wanted to have it dialed in after 24 hours of testing and calibration.

Looks like a good cigar. Your thoughts on it?

I'll match your Perdomo 10th anniversary Ltd.in Maduro.

Ordered a 5 pack online to give them a try along with a varietal 12 pack sampler of MEDIUM body cigars.

I ordered these from the Famous Smoke Shop along with the 12 pack Medium varietal style offering. Free shipping and out the door $85 for 17 cigars. I also order from other vendors ( Cigars International, Corona Cigar Co).
