Montegue Cabinet Humidor = AWESOME

688sonarmen · 10-09-2010, 07:50 AM

I got the Hydra in today and the 3 fans + fan kit. What it the best way to mount the fans for best airflow?

My montegue shows up any minute now. Still not sure how to mount the fans but I still have to season it

Well it showed up, and it's way bigger than I thought, my wife is going to have a cow

Seasoning it right now and it's all ready at 62%, wonder how long it is going to take to get to 65%?

Congrats on the new box, I love mine. Mine was ready in 3-4 days.

It may read at 62% now, but there's no way it's close to being seasoned. You probably need to give it a good week for the moisture to saturate through the wood. It's worth waiting a few extra days or you'll have a hell of a time maintaining your humidity when you fill it with cigars.

Any updated pics? I'm curious to see the fan setup in this.

They look so much better with the legs on them. When mine came I was so excited and forgot to put them on. Now its too damn heavy. I'll have to wait until I move to put them on now!

It took me about a week, problem is the humidity was to high. I had to dry my beads out a few times to soak up the humidity to get it to 65%. Not sure what they do down at tampa humidors but it seems like their warehouse is at a high Rh, which makes seasoning pretty quick.

Think about it, it's tampa. I went down there a while back and was helping a friend do some stuff outside, it was about 90 and with the humidity in less than 10 min was soaking wet. more than likely they have them in a warehouse with no AC. Although I got the same one from Cheap Humidors and it was steady in about the same time.
PS. love mine

Yeah that makes sense. I'm very happy with mine as well.
