Lost in translation
i got the mahogony, but that just may be the color, not sure what the outside wood is, interior is all kiln dried spanish cedar

i know, i know, is there no end?
I was looking at that very humi! Let us know if the wood is actually mahogany; I had the same question myself. At that price, it seems hard to believe it's not veneer/stain. Post some comments on its construction when you get it! Also, my other concern was the glass top; I've read that light is bad for your smokes. Should this be a big concern?

i dont think so, i currently have been using a glass top, i like em b/c i have a tendency to constantly play with my humi/cigars, so the glass lets me look w/o touching, i just put it somewhere away from direct sun/lamp light
I can't wait to hear how this humi works out. I've been looking for something that will hold a few boxes with out having to buy a cabnet. This would be perfect for what I need for storage. Good luck with it. It looks great.
HighPSI have you calculated the amount of beads you will need? I think it should be a 1/3 of a pound. That seem right to you? Will you need to put some kind of fan it it, to move the air? I'm just curious, I find the mechanics of this stuff facinating.
the humi is real nice, spanish cedar, good seal, real mahogony as far as i can tell (i dont really know woods) but its not just a "finish" on the outside...
it only took about a day and a half to season too, i've got about 70 sticks in it now and its rock steady at 70 deg 65% at the top, bout 68% at the bottom...right now all i've been using is one of those circular "gel" humi things that you add distilled to and it raises/lowers humidity as needed, been workin fantastic, i cant say enough good things about it for the price..
i have beads on the way, havent calculated how much ill need yet...

That is really great. It looks like a good one. I need a bigger humi but am too darn cheap to buy one. I have two right now and a 50 count that I got with a taster bunch off of cigarinternational.com on the way. Maybe I will build a coolerdor.
Thanks for the updates, this thing looks like a fantastic deal! I think I'm convinced- now for the wife....
im thinkin of pickin up a second one soon just to have for the future in case the price goes up or if they run out...
