Noob intro and a Tower Humidor question

Minadin

Hi all. Been lurking for a few months registered today. I usually smoke swishers, Cao flavours, Acids and Java type cigars and my brother "from another mother" got me a Tower humidor so I can store cigars instead of buying a little at a time. I have seasoned it thanks to these forums and use kitty litter with no issues. That's the intro now my question, What is the 8" diameter hole in the top of the unit for? There is no info I could find by searching and pictures of other peoples units where you can see the hole, well it's still a hole. Surely something goes up there..Thanks

I'm guessing that the hole doesn't compromise the integrity of the inside if you could season it properly?
Post a pic or a link to the humi so we can see...

Thanks for the quick response. Here's a link http://wheresmydrink.com/wp-content/gallery/misc/humihole.jpg The cavity is 3" deep/tall above the hole and is the size of the humidor.

Yea, post a picture of it. I'm trying to visualize what the hole is or where it's at, but come up empty.
I haven't seen a hole on a tower humi. The only hole I can think of would be for the hygrometer, but that's 3 1/2" max. 8" is a considerable hole.

[edit]
Interesting. Would like to see the whole humi. What brand/make is it?
It's possible it is there for some kind of circulation fan to go in, but not likely.
If it is the tower with the "peak" on it, like a house. They probably cut the hole to allow air movement in the top to prevent moisture from accumulating in the top to prevent mold. Just a guess.

Sounds about right. You can probably rig up a fan since they were so nice to give you a premade place to put it...

swishers, Cao flavours, Acids and Java and a $1,000 humidor.

Maybe I'm smoking the wrong cigars.

Congrats on the Tower.

Do folks think storing flavored cigars in a large humidor such as this will "flavorize" the entire cabinet?

Could that hole up there be for a light fixture maybe?

Looks like that piece of wood was recycled from an old subwoofer enclosure.

Don't put non flavored and flavored in the same humidor!

Well then, menadin better not change to straight smokes, cause his 3,000 smoke cabinet is getting the flavored to start.
