I'm sure anyone who is serious about cigars has thought about it before. I know I have. And to go along with what others have said, I would much rather build it myself.

Kuzi, if you build one of those, and don't like it, I'll gladly take it off your hands. That's one sick humi.

Hey man, I want to talk to you about the Peltier.

kuzi16

what about it?

madurofan

Everything about it. Do you have a line on one? I'm about to either buy a new thermoelectric wine fridge OR build a humi with a peltier. I want to move it up into my office but during the summer that room has an even harder time staying cool than the rest of my house. So I have to do something.

Damn it, I was hoping you already had all that worked out. I really want to buid one but the temperature is the thing, I just need something that would knock it down a little. The wine fridge would probably end up being cheaper and easier.

As cheap as it is, I'm considering buying it and playing with it. It really would be the basis for everything for me. I already have the Cigar Oasis. Hmmm .... you're gonna get me in trouble Kuzinicki.

Hmm so have you found one of those there adjustable thermostats that would tie into this? I'm not an electrician and this is the part that scares me.

maybe this thread could help answer some of y'alls (yes, I'm from the South) questions: http://www.puff.com/forums/vb/cigar-accessory-questions/31112-getting-close-finish-my-cabinet-humidor.html

mother of god, he has a ton of work in that cooling setup.

Krieg

Yeah he did, you get what you put into it though I'm sure. I'm very impressed w/ his humidity/temp system.

That's just an impressive piece of work. Period.

iduno.... im on the fence. the humidor itself is impressive, but the electronics may just be a giant waste of time.

Regardless, it's the effort put forth. Building something, cigar in hand, is a fun scenario. He's having a good time doing it, and if I had the money, I'd love to tinker around with something like that.

oh yeah... the tinkering aspect of it is fantastic. i guess im just looking at it from a design aspect. i don think that this would do what i want it to do. what i want it to do is make the humidor as worry free as it could be. If im filling the oasis every few days and emptying out a condensation dish ever week that hardly sounds like less trouble. it sounds like more given my current set up.

I'm not criticizing someone else's work, well yes I am. If I was going to spend the time to build a custom humidor it would definetly be more of a custom piece than that. Don't get me wrong it looks like he's done a nice job with it but its awfully simplistic and aside from the peltier system its basically a big open humidor. I'd want shelves and drawers for singles, etc. Maybe he only buys boxes idk, it still seems awfully simplictic.
