I like those drawers. They look like the perfect size for segregating singles.

That makes my "HUGE" cigar collection look like....

crap.

Gee whiz that is a nice humi. My wife would throw a complete fit and maybe even file a few papers if I brought that home.

I am a 100% jealous cigar smoker!!!

I think you hit on it Stick. Use a gallon container with the top cut off, and a lot of patience.

That is one bad boy humi!!!!

I read that wipping it gives to much moisture at one time and could cause the cedar to crack and warp.....so no I havnt wiped it

Is there any way to bring the temp down? Maybe circulating the air (with an Oust Fan) may help? Or maybe the thermocouple is at the top of the cabinet, hence the high temps?

I think he means the sensor on the thermometer since warm air rises.

Oooooohhhhh. If the temperature truly is 79, and it won't come down any more, I'd try to get that humidity down to around 63, 64, if not lower.

I'm working on it every day and almost have them all moved.....I also put my other Oasis xl plus in the upper half and seems to have help along with all the sticks too

top is 64%
bottom is 66%
but temp is still around 82.4 right now

seems to be settling in...I removed all the beads also

another note: this baby is awesome its got all kinds of room and differant ways to set things up (shelves will angle if desired)

Now this is just my opinion form what I understand. No and yes. I think that you have a much greater chance at having a problem at 80 deg than you would at say 68. but you might never have a problem at 80 If you are like me 70 degrees in anything is COLD. when the summer is 120 80 is nice a comfy. but have you thought about putting a portable cooler in there? maybe even a window cooling unit? Just throwing out Ideas. If I am wrong someone please correct me....
