Turning a closet into a humidor?
0Recently the wife and I just converted a den/office/bedroom into a formal dining room at the front of the house. Project included laminate flooring, new furniture, crown molding, and chair rail.
Also in this room is a closet – roughly 2 ft deep, 5 ft or so wide. Presently has accordian doors.
My overall goal would be to turn this closet into a humidor and wine cellar, with some recessed lighting and a frosted door.
What do you guys think? Any links? Any resources? This would be completely new to me. I would need to refinish the closet with whichever wood is required (Spanish Cedar?), and worry about HVAC or some way of maintaining a temperture suitable for both cigars and wine..
Any input would be awesome.
Heres a few resources:
for humidifying youll want a cigar oasis, and good weatherstripping to create a good seal inside
heres a pic:
what???
not sure I’d combine the two, unless you don’t have another method for storing the wine.. sure they can both have a humidity level of 70 or so, which would actually be quite optimal for the two, but you want the cigars closer to room temp and the reds at around 55, but I guess that type of cooling isn’t always easily achieved in many home settings
yeah, not sure what I’m going to do. Maybe I can split it horizontally.. top being humidor, bottom being wine. Reds are ~55, whites are warmer, right? like 62?
why not make the closet a humidor but put a wine fridge in the bottom section?
Could do that too..
It’s a blank slate.. can do whatever; as long as its relatively affordable..
