I started out a coolerdor, which quickyl grew to several...then added some desktops and wine fridge. Now I have an Avallo 2000 and still have the wine fridge. If you aren't familiar with Avallo, you have to check them out (www.cigarsolutions.com is their rep now). Both Matt at Avallo (the manufacturer and Ron of cigarsolutions) are both TOP NOTCH guys! Their customer service is unmatched and the quality of the product is awesome!

The Accumonitor system is SWEET!!!

So, what do you guys use?

I use a Marshall 165 Treasure chest, and a 75 count Zino humidor, and am out of space. I have been tempted by the wine fridge or avallo type product. What model of wine fridge are you using and how did you have to retrofit it to make it work for cigars.

Thanks,

I picked one up from sears.com when it was on sale (24 bottle I think). It stays cool enough in my basement, so it's not even plugged in. For RH regulation, I use 1 lb of beads, divided in 2 mesh bags. Works like a charm.

Heh, funny, I just posted a picture of my Avallo Triple D in my last reply to you.

I have a Stabell M+ Aristocrat.

His humidors are like a work of art. This thing is dead on 65/65 all year long and looks great as well.

I'm new here, but I saw your question on building a coolidor. Here is what I did to build mine and where I found everything.

Here is what I have done to keep the temp in check and it ran me about $350.00



It is a wine cooler and here is the break down:
Avanti model EWC28 thermoelectric ( only type to get for better RH control) I got it off ebay from anythingforsale it is a scratch & dent model with only small dents to the lower rear corners for $169.00 delivered, If you get one of these make sure you read the discription of the damage.

To get the correct temp, mine wouldn't go above 58 deg, I bought a Johnson controler from Williams Brewing for $54.16 delivered.

I bought Polymers from Watersorm 2lbs for $15.00 delivered. Get the craft stuff it has no dust

You can also buy 65% beads but at a cost of $65.00 for 2 lbs I'll stick with the watersorb

I have 2 Oust Fans I bought at the Grocery store on sale for $5.00 each, don't use the scents just the fans.

I went to Rocker and bought Sp Cedar for about $70.00, I bought too much but will use the rest on the next Coolidor I'm building, you will need 1 pc. 5" x 48" and 1 2" x 48" to make 2 shelves. You don't have to get the Sp Cedar but it really makes the coolidor smell lika a humidor ;D ONLY GET SPANISH CEDAR FOR THE SMELL AND IT HELPS CONTROL THE RH

And 2 Hygrometer, 1 in the top & 1 in the bottom, also from them.(not in Photo)

So after all this I let it set for 5 days with the polymers in it to season and get the humidity to stabilize. It now sets at 68deg and 65% RH

I did also use a Cigar Oasis to help in the seasoning but it will cause condensation so I removed it once I put the cigars in it

Reflex, that's a sweet set up.
Make sure you get the LARGE Watersob beads (polymers). The smalls one are so small they will come out of the smallest holes of any container (screen) you can make. Some peolple use panty hose which works for them. I picked up some humidifier sticks from Jr's and out the watersorb in them. 50/50 solution of distilled water and propylene Glycol gives me 65 degree RH. After the initial 50/50 i just use distilled water.[

I still have a coolerdor, it has 22 boxes in it, I am using an Oasis XL for active humidification and it works like a champ. I also have 4 large desktop humidors that a very pretty but require way too much attention. I just ordered an Avallo TD I can’t wait for it to arrive!!!!!
