Granted I lose some room because I have some boxes, but mine is almost abso full at as I say around 200. Got to get rid of those Puros Indios pyramids i guess.

I have mostly boxes as well. There are 6 boxes of CC's in there, a box of RP decade robustos. Another box in which I keep about 25 fuente products. I have about 50 or so in the top part of the humi. So yeah, I still have some room. I can probably fit another box and if I am feeling froggy, probably 20 singles. Gotta do the cigar tetris. I took the bottom shelf out and that's were the boxes go so you can create more space.

I don't know what the CCs are, so let's call them 25 to a box. 6 boxes is 150. The RPs bring you to 170; another 25 fuentes is 195. 50 or so makes 245.

245 seems more to me like a 'couple hundred' than it does like 360. Even adding another box and 20 tetrised in singles and we're still a full box from 300 yet.

Just like in the ads - take capacity claims with a grain of salt (and discount by 70%)

My last count was around 346. I could recount for you if you'd like. I said that the 50 is just the singles at the top, I have a bunch on the other shelves and about 25 or so on the bottom.

Curious, what are you guys using for humidification in these?

I'm going to be purchasing this and a few fans for mine.

Hydra Electronic Humidifier - Cigars International

Finally decided I'm just going to buy some 1/4 in cedar and just lay a piece of Spanish cedar on each tray for only $30 should be plenty to get that nice cedar smell and help stabilize the humidity.

mrsmitty · 02-24-2009, 06:44 PM

I got the humidor a couple of weeks ago, lined the entire bottom, backside & top shelve with spanish cedar, lined around both doors with foam insulation, got my hydra humi-care digital humidifier with two fans and it holds humidity pretty well. And I've got it partially full already lol.

And by the way you'd be lucky to get 200 gars in this. Its hard for me to believe otherwise.

Vagrant · 02-25-2009, 12:33 AM

Weeeeell, I can see 360 in there, personally, but I'd say that you'd definitely need a different type of humidifier. My father-in-law has the exact same one, (or so it looks) and he's got around 300 so far. He also modified his abit to fit his humidification device beneath it, though, so he may have added space, too.. idk.

Anyways, great pick up.

Sure, when your humi devices take up 65% of the space, you'd be very lucky to get 200 sticks in there. What's up with that? I am now inviting anyone who wishes to come over to my house, empty my humi, count the sticks, then put them all back. You will be surprised with the amount of sticks you can get in one of these.

I agree with scottw the humi device is taking up alot room, I use 2 crystal gel 4oz jars to humidify my humidor (I have the same humidor) and it stays around 68 to 71.

Can you get more than 200 sticks in your humi?
