New Vinotemp-like Humidor???

[SureShot81]

A guy I was talking to at my B&M today said that in the latest Cigar Aficionado there was a company making customized Vinotemp-like humidors to order. Does anyone have the new CA or know the name of this company? Thanks

The company is called liebherr and the website is www.liebherr-appliances.com. I saw the same ad in the last CA and looked it up cause it looks pretty sweet, but the website is more about refrigerators and it's hard to even find the one humidor they sell. Here's info on the humidor.

Liebherr’s approach to refrigeration in their entire product line is to provideideal conditions for food - fresh and frozen, and for wine. Theapproach to designing the new Liebherr Humidor is no exception. Theinnovative Magic Eye control systems allows precise control to establishthe proper balance of temperature and humidity so important to theoptimal storage for fine cigars.The storage cabinet can be set from 60º to 68º F (16º to 20º C) and thehumidity, controlled by a removable container for distilled water, can beset from 68% to 75% humidity depending on owner preferences.

Thank you for the response. Looks alright, but I think I can do better making my own. OMG, for $2500, I can guarantee I can do better. Wow.

$2500?!?! I have seen much better ones here made for far less.

Assuming this is the one in CA. Haven't seen it yet, but this is the only humidor I can find from the company. LIEBHERR XS200 - 17'' Freestanding Humidor
I think I'll try my hand at customizing a Vinotemp and save about $2,000.

Yeah dude, I saw it in the last issue and it caught my eye. I immediately went to the website, but I couldn't believe the price. I think you'd be much better off making your own. Crazy Germans with their crazy German website. Let us know how you make out.

They do look really nice, but with a little effort you could probably come up with something as good for a few hundred bucks.
