I'm making that humidor and I'll be putting the shelves in it tomorrow, and I have a question. Should I have the shelves be at a slight angle or should they be straight? The unit has a glass door on it and will have the hockey puck lights under the shelves so if they were angled you wouldn't see the lights. What do you all think?

I think its a mistake.

What?

It will be a photochop.

To many 40's already this afternoon?

You want your shelves to be straight. Sledn told me once when i was looking for a humi that if you shelves are angled, there will be unused space.

Hope this helps

I vote for angeled shelves. That way you'll be able to see and display your cigars better.

Didn't see the part about you having lights in there.

Didn't see the part about you having lights in there. Won't there be some heat buildup with the lights?

My answer is assuming you will be able to adjust the angle of the lights.

This is a big 7 foot tall Grandfather clock style humidor I'm building so I'm not sure what to do. The angled looks nice but so do the straight shelves.

No they will be lcd and on timers

Why not just make it so the shelves are adjustable so that you can decide which is better after you have it up and running?

Because there is only 2-3 so it's like there is a ton of room.

Angled. Better for displaying the gars AND hiding the lights. Don't think you'd lose space as you can't totally pack the humidor anyhow(need some room for air circulation right?).

I look at it this way.....

If you are just going to pack boxes into the thing (like I would do), flat is best...or at least angled is unnecessary and could possibly cause problems with stacked boxes sliding.

If you intend to showcase your cigars, then you will be wasting a ****-ton of space lining them up neat.. so it really doesn't matter if your space usage is efficient.

if yer puttin blunts in it, make em' straight, otherwise angle the dam things.............

Lights are going to give you humidity problems unless they are LED. Flat shelves will give more storage, slanted will hide the lights and show the boxes and cigars. What do YOU want?

I think I will do straight and recess the lights in the shelves.

Tap lights......
