How would you keep a cabinet humidor properly hydrated?

[Toothpick]

Talking about a 1500 - 3500 cigar capacity.

Wondering how you would keep it properly hydrated and climate controlled. Not so much asking HOW, but rather how would YOU do it.

Bunch of Boveda packs? Beads? Cigar Oasis? Humi-care electronic?

As far as temperature goes it’s 68 in here right now so not bad. During the winter it fluctuates between 66-70. During the summer right around 70. But perhaps a few days/weeks it may get up to 75-80 when it’s spring/fall and we don’t have the HVAC on. I’m not so much worried about the temp as I am keeping something this large properly hydrated.

So just curious how you would do it.

Thanks!

That one is too big to gamble so I would go full electronic.

That’s the best System you can get in Europe (site is in German, sorry) but I guess there will be something similar on your side as well.

Yeah I don’t think I’d spend close to 2g and load it with Boveda

At the same time, if it wasn’t set up for anything electronic what choice would I have.

Not much, as you have to control humidity, temperature AND air flow...

That's absolutely beautiful!

I'd figure out a way to go full electronic. Something made for a statement cabinet humidor.

Looks like the places that sell that unit offer a humidifier as an add-on.

My Dad had a cabinet humidor. Being that Hawaii is always humid passive humidification didn’t cut it. I just throw Bovedas in there now. In Hawaii a humidor is more to keep the cigars from getting too soggy vs too dry.

In that photo Phil posted looks like there is even a spot for the humidor down at the bottom.

In yours as well I think. The bottom shelf is not as deep as the others and the black spot is the outlet for the airflow.

In the "fridgador", I used a "Humicare" and added a computer cooling fan to move the moist air around the box. Just because I had them, I scattered beads throughout the box.
