Too rich for my blood

Great video and what an awsome walk-in Humidor.

I think the only thing I would have done different is to lower the ceiling. It would have been easy and since humidity rises I think it would be easier to keep humid. If you make a huge collection of cigars then it might be a requirement /

A 150 cigar DM treasure chest humidor costs like $1500, so under 1k for a walk in ain't bad at all!!

Thanks!

Sounds like a great plan. Let me know how it turns out.

Did you do it?

Never late to start

If you own a home and have a closet, you can have a walk in humidor! Thanks for the positive feedback.

Thanks for the kind words and good luck!

Thanks for the kind words.

Thank You!

It has worked very well for me. Good Luck!

Thank You!

I appreciate that!

It is great for the fall and winter.

Let me know how things turn out. Thanks for the comment.

Just dont use cedar if you dont wanna mess up your cigars.

My walk in humidor is actually in my Cigar Lounge. I have done "Cigar Lounge Tours" over the years but it has been a while. I will try to get one out there soon. Thanks for the comment.

Thank you!

Good Luck!

Thanks!

Thanks for watching

If you enjoy cigars and own a closet you can build one. I'm trying to start a walk in humidor movement:):)

Thank You. I am getting quite a bit of interest in is video series.

Sounds like an excellent idea.

I would like to see more people doing this because it works perfectly. Thanks for the comment.

Thank You very much!

Thank You!

Thanks!

Locate a closet and build one. Everyone should have a walk in humidor. Thanks for the support.

Thank you very much!

I did a lot of research into this build before I started. American Red Cedar (ARC) has the same basic properties as Spanish Cedar (SC) except that it can be twice as aromatic. Typically the walk in is built with 100% SC. No other woods are present. They recommend using considerably less ARC for a build just for that reason. The only place I used ARC was the shelving, shelf brackets, trim, and floor. If I had used it on the walls and ceiling I think that it could have tainted the taste of the cigars. Using the small ratio that I used I have not noticed any taste differences. Thanks for the interest.

StudnickaAquatics You proved that a person can use alternative material. I’m building a wall humidor our of Qtr Swn Sapeli and I’m using it for both the structure to have the appearance on the outside as well as on the inside. I have read a few custom humidor builders moving to Sapeli because it has great properties but won’t dis flavor the cigars. For your application due to space I think your materials are great. I’m sure you’re enjoying

@@studnickaaquatics80 not exactly true. SC has a high sap content which resists mold and bugs, but which also makes it far less aromatic and ultimately has less of an effect on your smokes. ARC, like you said, is twice as aromatic and will influence your cigars twice as much as a result. The aromas are also distinctly different. If you plan on doing any long-term aging, the cigars that you age out in the open with open boxes will end up tasting like arc. That is not a pleasing taste 8n rolled tobacco

Thanks!

LOL. I actually have a cigar lounge “smoking room” that I enjoy my cigars in during the winter. I need to do a cigar lounge tour. Thanks for the comment.

@@studnickaaquatics80 I smoke my premiums in my cigar shed. I've got a tv, computer, fan, ice scraper, heater. My lawn chair sits next to my briggs and stratton. lol

Thanks!

It is a very relaxing place after work.

You do not need the cedar. Three woods help to regulate temperature and humidity, Spanish cedar, American red cedar, and Honduran mahogany. No other types of wood should be used unless it is completely sealed. I have also been in cigar shops that do not have any types of wood in them. As long as you can regulate the proper temperature and humidity you will be fine. You obviously do not want any other odors or perfumes.

@@studnickaaquatics80 regular cedar has too strong of an odor and doesnt actually hold the moisture properly. It can destroy cigars. People may say it doesnt matter but if your collection is worth $100+k and you want to store cigars for decades then it absolutely matters. Id rather line my walls with plastic than regular cedar.

Thanks!

Very glad to hear that. Let me know if you have any questions.

StudnickaAquatics thanks, that will be awesome

I purchased a "Set-and-Forget" humidification system from Stabell & Associates. They design commercial walk in humidors.

Thank You!

Thank You!

Thanks!

Thank You!

Thanks!!!

Thanks for the support. I do enjoy the walk in.

I worked on it off and on for 6 months. I took my time. The electrical cord goes through the wood at the base of the door and is sealed. I also sealed around the door. I have had it up and running for over a year now and it is working perfectly. Thanks for the interest in my channel.

Thanks!

Thanks!

Thanks!

I considered going with a wood finish door. I looked into a cedar door but did not locate one. The door handle matched every other door in the house. I have thought about switching it to a black wrought iron handle. All of my switch covers are black wrought iron. I may build a cedar door someday as I have definitely thought about it. I also considered a single large pane of glass that had something appropriate etched into it. Thanks for the input. It is still a work in progress.

It is a standard door install except that it fits real tight. I did not want to use weather stripping because of the aesthetics and the humidity. I do have to remember to make sure that I close it until it latches.
