Have one of those; looks like a large china cabinet.

I purchased a Mini Tall about 2yrs ago. Love it!! The price was comparable to a similar humidor at the local shop but the Astrocrat is a better quality product.
Loved the article. Argree 100%

I didn't include this in the article, but I always found this true tale interesting.
When I first bought my Aristocrat I was going through a divorce and I decided to keep the humidor in my office. It's a stable environment and I thought it looked good there. Apparently, it looked too good. One day I went to open it. It has a lock on it and I always kept it locked. But the key wasn't fitting. I couldn't figure it out. Upon closer inspection I noted that the lock was slightly misaligned. I was able to correct that, unlock the humidor and open it. It was then that I discovered that the lock had been jimmied. Inside, the Spanish cedar was scratched slightly. Overall, there was no real damage done. But I was shocked. I couldn't imagine who would have broken in. The cigars, as far as I know, were not touched. I always assumed that someone, maybe the evening cleaning crew, thought there was something of value, such as money. Maybe they thought it was a safe? I can't imagine the look on the would-be thief's face when he opened it. I never reported it and didn't make a big deal about it. I couldn't even be sure when it happened. It could have happened weeks before I noticed it. But I always thought it was interesting that the Aristocrat looked so inviting that someone actually jimmied the lock to try to get at its contents.

Nice write up! I loved my m plus, and used it for years before I outgrew it. A fellow cw'er in San Antonio bought it off me and it is once again filled up . Thanks again for the great read.

The M Plus has always been my favorite model. In fact, I still go to Bob's site and look at them occasionally. But, alas, right now, with my smoking frequency, I can't justify one.
