Humidor # 1. I went to see my doctor about this and he started talkin about the north pole and south pole and were I live between the two I think he said bipolar. Then he started talkin about some maniac depressed dude that was runnin around, he gave me some little pills. I threw them away, been there done that .I think I will just smoke my cigar. Dan

That is nice! I like the wine storage I'd a big wine fan. Does anyone know of a good online wine website? I've been looking for a site that is like this one, but has wines at good prices. Thanks Carrie

'02 Haywood Merlot $3.99

No, This is not my store. This is my buddy. I buy 90% of my wine from him. He is in the same building as me he's suite 1 and I'm 7. He taste all wine he carries and has the best prices around.Dan

HWYMAN,I store my wine in here also and it's a freezer. I put it on a timer in the summer to keep the wine at 65 to 70,(it kicks on for an hour but I have it off now and just do it manualy) the blue tubs in the bottom shelf are floral sponges for humidity.wine needs humidity to keep the corks from drying out, just like cigars. When it kicks on the humidity drops because the evaporator sucks out the moisture so it works good. I just keep a temp and humidity gauge in it . It takes some monitoring but no big deal. I tend to look in on them from time to time.Dan

shweet...

I have one word for you dapper...
