Gorgeous Aristocrat Plus THC has arrived!
After a seemingly neverending wait, my new humidor is set up, seasoned, and filled with cigars
I purchased the climate controlled THC Plus from Bob Staebell. My build process was held up as I pestered Bob for high resolution photos of his figured woods, searching for the perfect door inlay to match my natural mahogany cabinet. After a week or two of staring at pictures in my email inbox, I decided on quilted maple. The humidor is heavy, well built, and beautifully finished. This is my second Aristocrat, my first being a Mini that has served me well but I outgrew it long ago and turned to coolerdors for overflow. I needed a serious cabinet, and wanted the peace of mind that comes with climate control. I just put my boxes in the humidor, and organized it. Here's a breakdown of what's in there, just so you have an idea of its real-world capacity. TOP DRAWER approx. 200 Punch Super Selection #2's approx. 40 Cohiba Siglo III room for at least another 50-75 cigars TOP PULL OUT SHELF (boxes I am aging) Cohiba Robustos Cohiba Lanceros Trinidad Fundadores Trinidad Robustos Extra Bolivar BBF's ('01, haven't touched 'em yet!) (SL Partagas PSD1 EL RyJ Hermosos #2 EL RyJ Churchills PSD4's this shelf is packed. SECOND PULL OUT SHELF (stuff that's resting, to smoke a lil' later) 3 10-boxes of Partagas P2's 2 boxes BBF's (dress boxes) RyJ Churchills H. Upmann #2's Partagas Shorts (50 cab) 15-pack Montecristo Edmundos Partagas 898 Varnished Trinidad Coloniales H. Upmann Mag 46 there is room for another few boxes. BOTTOM OF HUMIDOR (stuff for smoking now) PSD4's HdM Epicure #2 (SLB of 25) Robaina Famosos H. Upmann Connessiur #1's (SLB 25) Montecristo #2's Partagas P2's (box of 25) Robaina Unicos RyJ Churchills (one box per shelf, hehe) SLR Churchills H Upmann Super Coronas Montecristo #1's, box of 10 RyJ Cazadores Bolivar Coronas Bolivar Coronas Extras That's 35 full boxes of various sizes, no DC's however. They are perfectly organized with plenty of room for air to circulated, not packed in at all. I estimate that I have room for another 5 boxes or so, which makes around 40 boxes in the real world. This is not counting the 300-400 cigars that will fit in the drawer. I have another 200-300 or so loose cigars in a coolerdor still, but I don't wanna toss a hodgepodge of sticks in the drawer. Include the drawer, and you comfortably have 45 boxes of cigars sitting at 65% and 67 degrees, all year round. I will take pics later this weekend, but I need to sleep now
