... not sure what I did to deserve that azz kickin' but I'm sure I'll enjoy every one of them as I lie around recovering from the bruises [ram27bat]

Thanks Ewok, it has been a pleasure trading with you my friend!!!

This wasnt an azz kickin at all brother, this was just a tit for tat.

Keep me posted on the ones you get to try and like.

I've been considering a cabinet also, I'd like to know how that one works out for you in the near future.

I will keep you posted. As it stands right now she is definitely holding humidity which I think is great considering I converted a curio cabinet lol. It took quite a few days for the humidity to start rising which I knew would happen. I lined it and built the shelfs with 1/4 inch thick spanish cedar. I didn't want to shock it into season by wiping her down with season wipes. I wanted to let it do it all on its own so I just filled a huge bowl with some cigar juice and let her set. Once she hit in the mid 60% I took out the bowl and put in heartfelt beads.

Now what I am seeing is the humidity is wanting to rise a little higher than my desired set point in the upper levels. I have multiple hygrometers actually one at each shelf or level.

All hygrometers was calibrated before going in the cabinet. With the nature of RH being what it is. I am seeing higher RH in the higher shelf levels. I am wanting a more consistent reading at all shelf levels and this is why I think fans are going to be my answer.

I typically like a lower RH than the typical 72%. For me, and this is just OP of course, 72% is to much and I tend to get burn issues when I have kept my cigars at that. I dropped down in the low 60's and the burn seems to go a great deal better for me. It could just all be in my head lol.

So yeah the OCD in me is going nuts when I see 63 at one level and 74 at the upper level. Which I think is nothing to go stupid over but my brain just won't let it go lmaooo.

I am thinking that if I put fans up against the back on small risers to where they are pulling inward between the shelfs and blowing up against the back to where the air hits the back and spreads out to the sides this should distribute the humidity more consistently but I don't really know or should I just put one fan in the top blowing downward or should I just say phug it because 63 on the lower levels to 74 on the upper levels is no super biggy. From my readings this is where an upright becomes a biatch.

I'm thinking about an end table or night stand conversion, 600-1000 capacity, that way I could keep the cabinet ceiling low and the RH under control... I'd just hafta get on my knees every time I wanted to plunder through my stock! 🌫 and I'm getting too damned old to crawl around on the floor 😰

How do I make this right? How do we bring this thing back to life? I need to bomb another vet, right?

So that would be Rmann?8-[

Yeah, I'm not up here.....but I will accept the blame for the stinkage....I've been eating Bugles with some deviled egg dip..Damn I can hardly stand myself#-o 🤦

It is not a pretty sight.
