Custom Humidors

Guys, I would eventually like to get a custom made humidor. How many of you have done this and how much should I expect to pay to have one made? Pics of your custom humidors would be a plus!

Re: Custom Humidors

I was thinking along the lines of a custom desktop humi. Although I admit, those are some nice humidors! Little too rich for my blood though. Thanks for the link though!

You will pay top dollar for custom anything simple as that. There are some humidor makers on this forum that I would ask if I were you....I think member shilala makes some

Re: Custom Humidors

Like I said before "if you have the money". Look at these, http://www.heirloomhumidors.com/customdesigns-desk.html


http://www.cigar-humidors.com/MonarchHumidors.html


http://www.timscustomhumidors.com/Humidor_Pics.html.

I recommend getting a nice inexpensive one, and spending the rest of your money on cigars and a cooler with beads to store the over flow.

Bob is the best. I have two of his unites and a Pendergast. For the money you can not go wrong with Bob. A master wood craftsman while very experienced lacks the details to build a custom humidor with nor prior experience. It is not cheap but Bob at Aristocrat possess both of these qualities and is fair on price. The only drawback is where you are in the USA. Freight can be over $1000.00

Re: Custom Humidors

I had this one done for around $600 without any shelving inside... I just did that part myself. The guy offers many options as far as exterior wood and the inside is lined with spanish cedar. If you are interest PM me for his contact information. He is down in Texas but will ship anywhere in the US.

Re: Custom Humidors

Thanks for the links for the desktop models. I have been looking into making a custom desktop humi for my office. The coolidor at home works great, but I need something a little more high class for the office so I can pull out some sticks to give to officers, detectives, etc.

I am looking for a very well made desktop humi, probably 25-50 ct. I do not want it to be really fancy on the outside or anything. My plan is to take it to a very nice western shop in my area which has its own saddle shop, and have some custom leatherwork done on the outside, and some silverwork done.

Man, custom leather and silver- price is going to be high, but oh so worth it I think

So thanks again for the links!

Re: Custom Humidors

Sorry for the late reply TXRebel, had to feed, bathe and get the baby ready for bed.

Thanks for the links. I had imagined that any custom humi I want was going to run me over $400. I was just hoping I was wrong! But it's cool, I mean it will be worth it to have something that is unique that I can leave to my kids!
