I had been looking at towers and end tables for awhile now and finally got a great deal so I pulled the trigger. It showed up today on a truck that was entirely too big. Pics aren't great but I have been busy so I can take better ones later when it is seasoned and filled.

Very nice! I wish I could snag a bigger humidor, hopefully soon I'll finally be able to pull it off lol!

Looks like a Montegue (I have one, looks similar).  Is that correct?

Wish I had the room for a nice piece like that.  Someday the kids will move out and I'll have a man cave...

Yes, it's a pineapple hat.  No, you can't put your cigar out in it.

I beleive that is the Monteague.   Thats what I want...

timpellis

It is indeed a Montegue. Overall it looks very nice, the seal around the built in plug was not great, I fixed it as best I could but I guess a little airflow won't hurt. For the price I am very satisfied so far, we will see how well it holds humidity.

I had the same issue.  No, you don't want it to leak . . . you will lose humidity.  Go to Home Depot and get some rubber window/door seal tape and take the outlet off (two screws, I believe).  Seal it up and around the gaps and reinstall the outlet.  Much easier to do that now then to do it after you load it up!

Such a nice piece, your cigars will be happy in there  :biggrin:

I've been contemplating a tower for a long time now but just can't spend that much $ as we are getting killed here in Canada as far as prices go compared to similar units in the US

That is what I did before I even flipped it back over after putting the legs on, I laid down some sealant that I had used to great effect when I converted an old piece of furniture into a humidor (This replaces that it was just too small and I have no other furniture that I am allowed to humidify). All sealed up there around the plug so it shouldn't be an issue, I just assume that it will have some leakage around the front, I don't really trust a two door system. If I have trouble I may put some very thin stripping on but I don't think I will need it.

I have not had leakage at the doors or drawer SO LONG as you keep hem locked (keeps i tight)

Love these as I keep seeing them around but my heritage doesn't allow me to spend that kind of coin on stuff like that...maybe one day.  Congrats on the purchase.

I am not concerned about what you think as I can tell you don't do it often.

I used to be a people person, but then people ruined that for me.

Beautiful, one day after I refinish my basement that's what I'm getting.
