COMMON PROBLEM: Where do you put your Acids so they don't marry with other cigars? I figured I would make a humidor out of the box partly because the box smells so great and also it is the perfect size for the cigars. Just add a rubber gasket strip to the back hinge area, a hygrometer, and a humidifier and it was all set. I had it up to 72% in a day. My fiancee thinks I am insane!...she was hoping I was building a bookshelf in the basement. LOL!

I have a box from my Def Seas that I have been saving. Now I know what to do with it! Good Idea!

KC

You are not insane....well,a little tetched in the head maybe,LOL. X

I like it! Looks great.

PGA: Nice box. Did you do anything to it to improve the seal? I have a separate humidor for my Acids as well, but I didn't make it.

chicita banana says:

bananas like the climate of the

very, very tropical equator.

so you should never put bananas

in the refrigerator.

no, no, no, no,

cha, cha, cha.

the acid box alone will turn cigars into acids. never mix acids and any other cigar, exception if you are trying to acidify some of the cheap cigars i buy like 20 cent each or now with the current overbidders sometimes 30 cents each.

many of the purests will make nasty remarks about acid cigars. i personally like them as a change of pace and keep them in their own humidifier.

that nice one you made would be the perfect size for me for the dozen at most acids and acid wannabes i keep on hand.

but don't forget chicita banana.

no, no, no, no.

Rick... Are you also wearing the fruit on your head??? LOL

iamsteve: Just add a peice of door gasket ( the thin kind with the two sided tape on he back- picture a hollow rubber tubing with adhesive) to the hinge area at the back and you're all set. All other openings close pretty tight.

PS - I will custom make them from your favorite brand for $200 each...LOL!! not a bad idea for a business though!

all of the fruit on my head except the banana. do you really want to know where the banana is?

Nice Box!

The Natural and Acid boxes are cool but the hinge

deal with the two cheesy nails SUCK. I have two

boxes and both have spilt the wood at the "hinge"

and need repair..

pga- Great idea. The door weather seal is a "p" moulding foam.. looks like the one I most often use. Comes in grey or white. Makes a great airtight seal when compressed and has adhesive on one side. Usually can be bought at hardware store for $5 per 20-30 linear feet.

rkmrmnd: Yeah, that's kind of what I use..amazing what you can get at Home Depot.

plabonte: I sent your HUMIDACIDOR out Saturday. Made it from a Kuba Kuba box with silver hygro. gasket makes perfect seal.

I've got 5 of these, if anyone is interested let me know.

-RT

You're a HUMIDACIDOR building machine!!! Do you smoke that many Acid's and have spare boxes or are you buying the boxes?

Low

Lowman:

I smoke a lot of Acid 1's some EOL's and Kuba's...well I guess a few Nasty's too. But I do have a box connection.
