    Latest purchase

    So I have been playing cigar tetris every time I get a new cigar or go searching for a cigar. 8years ago when I bought my end table humidor it was perfect but now like many of my clothes it's a but too confining.
    Been searching the old interwebs and found a few options this one was too much this was too far away. Saw a great deal but would have needed to drive like 5 hrs 1 way to pick up.
    Couple weeks ago I saw a posting for an Aristocrat humidor but the price was still more than I could talk my wife into. But she finally willingly agreed and I drove to Dallas and back for this.

    So I know what not to do. I still have not fully loaded it up yet but it's much less tetris on initial fill.

    So an update since it now has power cooling and fans work now its getting it where I want. The hygrometer is off considerably but using my xikar it is running between 66 and68 degrees. I have it set to cool around 75 and to heat somewhere in the 50s. Rh is currently 67-69 I wouldn't mine the rh to be 1-2% lower but not concerned with this range. I don't think it runs much which is what I want, set and not worry.

    I toy with the idea of running some leds or even some name plates for a couple shelves. I want to organize more but during football that is not happening. I have also considered getting some wooded trays and burning bums names on them but that messes up my organization if I put all brands together. While my cigar budget is still light my only regret is I don't spend more time just smelling those great tobacco and Spanish cedars smells more.
