What's in your humidor?

[SoCal gunner]

I have a humidor almost all the way filled of things Socal Gunner sent me.

Hell Yeah!

Wait... almost filled? Okay message received.

Yeah, like a tray's worth !

Been meaning to respond to this @Old Smokey but in Kentucky this weekend. Will get to it next week when I'm back in town. Have to be careful though, wouldn't want the missus to stumble on to this thread !

Tony, I'm glad you are getting to see your family in Tucky. I bet that grand baby is really growing.

If your wife is anything like mine, she probably has a pretty good idea about your cigars, but chooses not to give a shit. Mine is smarter than she looks!

Ok Steve - I finally got around to doing this for you. Though I must admit I was a little curious as to how the numbers have changed.

First off, a pic of my "humidor". Not a nice fancy walk in like TJ has but it serves my purpose.



3 Wineadors, and 2 big coolers in the rack. I also have a half sized cooler and 6-8 small tuppers.

I use a spreadsheet so I can keep my inventory straight and that allows me to easily look at the numbers as a whole.

I show 544 lines on my spreadsheet - each line is a unique cigar, by size. Some are duplicates, meaning I was bombed something I already has in stock.
Taking that in to account, I'd say when I go to choose a cigar I have roughly 500 choices as to what to smoke. I like variety and it may be months until I go back to something, but I like having choices. I tend to buy, as we all do, very economically and pick up a few big samplers a year as well so having the storage to be able to handle a 100 stick purchase helps alot.

The breakdown of the top brands in my stock looks like this:

Crowned Heads / Pichardo - 30.6% of my inventory. Knew this was now #1 and the gap had gotten larger with all their recent releases
Tatuaje / L'Atelier - 13.2%
Warped - 5.3%
HVC - 3.7%
Caldwell - 3.7%
Black Label Trading - 3.2%
Viaje - 2.0%

So there you have it. Proof that I am a verified Crowned Heads whore !

Thanks Tony. That's one heck of a collection of cigars. And the organization to keep track is equally impressive. Thanks for posting this.

Agreed.
Extremely nice setup and lots of storage in temperature and rh controlled winedors.

Fortunately, I don't live anywhere that I have to worry about controlling the temperature as my room at the veterans home facility stays at a pretty constant 68deg year round without even using my heat or a/c, just from the well climate controlled building my room is in.

Only have to worry about rh since Wyoming is pretty dry year round, but Bovedas in tupperdors keeps perfect rh for me.

I love the glass fronts on a cabinet, endtable, tupperdor or winedor, as I enjoy being able to see my cigars, especially with the amount of money tied up in them, lol

Really wish the glass door, 6ftx6ft, cabinet humidor on a large base with 2 small cabinets and several drawers in the roughy 4ftx6ft base it sits on I built out of a used, 1970's curio cabinet here. It was fun to convert, and cheap and easy to do and worked perfectly. .

Unfortunately it's in a storage unit 6hrs away with all the other contents of the house I was renting, and really would just take up to much space if it even fit at all, in my relatively small room at the veterans home.

Plus I doubt I could get a rule exception for it, as we aren't allowed to store anything on the floor, or have any additional furniture, especially if it encroaches on the bed, as we are required to have enough room to get a stretcher in, in the event something happens. It took repeated requests to be able to have my two 74qt containers in the corner of the room since I proved to them it didn't interfere with getting a stretcher in.
@WNYTONY

How many cigars do yours hold?

Did you add the drawers yourself, or are they one of the custom made winedors?

Regardless, very nice setup and i assume, stash inside.

I image you spent some serious coin for them, as I have looked at stock winedors, and custom made ones just for fun, and they quite expensive, but I understand that in some environments they are very necessary and you just have to bite the bullet to protect your stash.

I have them in the basement so they aren't even plugged in. When I bought the first I had it upstairs and needed it to cool but when I added the second I moved them to the basement and no longer needed the coolers.
I had the drawers made by a guy that does them custom - but I modified some of the shelves to make them into trays. They are the top 2 on each wineador.
I'd say each one holds approx 500 cigars +/- depending on the sizes.
The wife bought me the third one and that's primarily boxes, as are the coolers.

Do you use Pivot Tables with your cigar inventory data-sheet?

No idea what a pivot table is Mark. I'm an accountant - I assume pivot tables are something sales people use to fool the customers into saying yes !

Its a table in Excel that makes sorting data easier in theory.
