They definitely show sign of use (scratches, blemishes, etc) but overall I think they'll clean up just fine. I'll need to put in some new weatherstripping on one and have the other rekeyed (it's locked) but other than that, not much needs to be done...maybe something to remove the scratch marks.

This is my first foray into the world of large humidors. Those of you with cabinets and and table units, what have you found that works well to season something this big?

What bike do you have there in the background?

Either a Jamaha FZ6 or Zuki Vstrom..

In my opinion, the reservoir was of insufficient size.

If these were mine, I'd "season" them with a bowl of water for a week or so, then regulate with a pound or two of beads in each.

I've got to do some work on the inside...new weatherstripping, reattaching the hygometer in the hole, stuff like that. It seems like I could just use a food-grade silicone to "glue" that stuff in place while avoiding the smells and fumes of other glues. Any other ideas?

Just ONE ' Clean up the damn garage, before posting any more pictures' !

Hey, I think I'm doing pretty good! I've got 2 kids, we move every 3-4 years...plenty of excuses for having one of those garages where you can't even park a car. We park in our garage every night (car + bike) and still have room for 2 tower humis, a drumset, all my camping gear and more. (it's the "more" that kills the space though. Time to de-clutter.

+ $50 to have them both rekeyed

+ $20 in weather stripping/magnets/scratch remover
