Over many years of the cigar hobby I have accumulated and maintain 20+/- humidors at any one time. When the last 3 "humidors" added in 2012 were really 3 tuppedors, my WIFE said she had enough and told me it was getting too cluttered and I MUST do something about it. She insisted that I buy a cabinet. Gentlemen, I am one lucky man to have a wife like that! She even helped me uncrate it and carry it in the house when it arrived via a freight truck.
It is the Montegue 'End Table' Cabinet Humidor, and holds up to 1,500 cigars. It's 24"x26"x30". The picture doesn't do it justice: This thing is huge! I wanted one that stored boxes in the dark, not one with glass, so this model works well for my needs. It has some quality locks and is really a fine piece of furniture. You wouldn't know what's inside unless you opened it!
I've had it a week now and I am happy to report that I have been able to get the humidity to maintain at 65% using only KL and no active humidification system. Yes, I know I'm a KL advocate, but I'm also a convert and this stuff really works, even on a larger cabinet like this. (For an interior size of 8.5 cubic feet, I used about 3 lbs of KL.)
So last night I loaded 250 cigars into it, and the humidity was still 65% tonight, so I just loaded another 250 into it. I'm going to take this slowly so as to avoid any major fluctuations. Below is some pictures of the set-up. I'll try to post more pics after its full.
If anyone has questions on setting something like this up with KL, please feel free to PM me.
