CC-300 upgrade from Tupperdor
First off, I've got to once again brag up my wife... I recently ordered some cedar trays to upgrade my Tupperdor and figured I could later move them into a wineador. I've been looking at the CC-300 for awhile now and was planning on one after an anticipated bonus on the 24th of April. Two days ago, however, while we were rearranging the house she suggested that I go ahead and order it!
Two days later (thanks Amazon Prime!) here it is!
The box looked a little rough when the FedEx guy brought it in, but upon further inspection it was just the outer layer! (Double boxed!)

Once all unpacked, I took each tray and drawer out and inspected. Unfortunately their quality control wasn't 100% as a drawer has some tacky, sticky glue that I couldn't easily remove.

Nonetheless, I pressed on. We choose to live in a tiny house (1,180 sq ft, not the Texas Tiny houses!) and it wouldn't fit where I had originally planned: bedside as a nightstand due to the depth of the unit and proximity to a nearby closet door...
... even better is now I get the entire front entry closet! I'll raise the bar for hanging jackets, build shelves above, and have a great little nook! This may also keep three year old fingerprints from the glass. If not, put a lock on the closet!

I placed the only two cigar boxes (empty) that I have in it along with 4 small dishes of distilled water. I measured and then bought a small, somewhat deep cookie dish to eventually hold kitty litter (Mimi) or Heartfelt beads. In the meantime I also poured 1/4" of distilled water in to assist with the seasoning.

I can't wait to get this thing up and running as the Tupperdor was getting too full. I've also got an Adirondack Humidor coming my way Tuesday to keep in my office at work, and having this seasoned beforehand will be nice so I'm not tempted to throw sticks in it too soon!
I'll be sure to post more pics once it's seasoned and filled!!!
