Nice work @EL Corojo, looks like that cabinet could hold 30 boxes with room to spare

Thanks, I'm really loving it! I've wanted a cabinet for over 10 years! It is truly a labor of love!

I’ve been thinking of your comment, and about how many boxes this thing might hold. I also just love the look of the boxes aging inside, so I decided to stack the 9 boxes currently in the cabinet. It looks like I might even be able to get 50 more. Looks like I’m all set for storage. I can’t see needing more cigars than that. I can’t wait to add the two boxes that are scheduled to arrive this week!

Raising the humidity a bit for long term storage, added two boxes this week. Dry boxing everything before smoking, but hoping that the higher rh will work better through the winter.

My wife moved out yesterday, it sucks, but you know what sucks more? The movers packed my cabinet upside down and took it to her apartment. She says that she told them not to but I don’t believe anything she says. Beads spilled everywhere. I let it and the cigars air out a bit before putting them back. They are fine at 69/73 I do need to turn up the a/c to get that temp down.

@EL Corojo I can't see the picks Sorry about your wife moving out on you, I thought they had a stay at home order in affect?

She is bipolar and manic. It happens every time? Takes unnecessary risks. I have the kids here with me.

 

[Boudie]

I'm familiar with your situation. It seems that sometimes people that are bipolar decide to get off their meds and as a consequence make everyone else's life hell.

 

[EL Corojo]

Mine and the kids; it is really sad, because she is awesome when not manic. She called tonight crying.

I know you're trying to convince her that there is a way to deal with it. Nothing you can tell her she doesn't really know though. It's almost like they need to experience this emotional seesaw once in a while to kind of break the "dullness" of being in control.
