Look at the mxt with a glass front. Mine is solid wood with no glass, special inlays and at the unadvertised 22.5" depth. Mine easily holds over 100 boxes and about 200-300 singles.

Mine looks like this:

If that's your budget than an Aristocrat is probably for you. Bob makes some beautiful armoire and offers cooled units (might be helpful for your climate).

I would love an Aristo, but keep spending all my money on buying cigars So I use this:

(Tower of Power) in conjunction with a vinotemp, and cooler.

Thanks for the link to Bob's site....so you guys think that an aristocrat is definitely better than turning a closet into a walk-in?

Turning a closet in to a walk in is difficult and expensive. You need to be able to make it essentially air tight and humidity tight. That means that you will probably need to redo the walls, ceiling and floor and probably have a custom door installed and then add the spanish cedar. You will also need to run power (a separate breaker is recommended) for fans, active humidity and such.

and you can't take it with you when you move.

A closet walk in would probably hold more. But you lose the closet and it will likely cost more than the custom humidor. At least that was my analysis 2 years ago when I went with the Aristocrat.

I think this depends on a whether you are looking for a piece of furniture and a display.

Given your location you will probably need cooling and this can get expensive in a closet. You will also need to wire the closet for the humidifier.

With $5k I would have no looks back and pick up the phone to call Bob now to get in line. Just remember if $5k is your hard line budget, you need to include the $500-800 shipping cost in there that it could be.
