From the pics and what I read it looks like you just use the Cigar Oasis and took all of the beads out? I will be using the felt like you and many others have but am still trying to figure out all of my humidification options.... Any input on how it's working out for you will be greatly appreciated!

Thanks again for everyones support I think that Tampa is going to come through on this one!

No I kept the beads in, as have most others. I find that it helps regulate the humidity in the top portions of the cabinet a lot.

I dont have separate fans yet, but I like HavanaJohn's idea and may soon follow suit on that.

It takes a bit of work, but once the setup is finalized, the leaks sealed, the Trivoli is a really great unit, at an affordable price, and can store a pretty penny's worth of smokes. It's something that I will keep until the day I can afford an Aristocrat.

Where did you find the LED's that you have? I've been looking around at the options and the strips that change colors are pretty cool but I think that may be too much.

Home Depot. They are made by GE I believe

Update:

Sent pics and spoke to Tampa on Monday who said that they would send for pick up and it should go back out Tuesday.... Some of my friends tell me that I have the worst luck ever and this whole transaction has proved to be one of those instanses. No pick up tuesday so I called on Wednesday and they hadn't put the paperwork through. Finally picked up on thursday night and hope that they sent the new one today. I am anxiously waiting so I can pull the trigger on a couple boxes for aging! I'm definitely anxious to see how they come through as I would have liked to have been seasoning this thing very quickly!
