A walk-in humidor and wine cellar can create an elegant atmosphere to any household.
One way to impress guests or visitors is by showing them a stylish house decoration. A walk-in cigar humidor will leave your peers (and fellow cigar aficionados) astonished. A wine cellar functions as a convenient storage for wine, and as an integral decor as well. Nonetheless, buying and combining a walk-in cigar humidor and a wine cellar, or having someone build it for you, might be unaffordable. Does this Spark an idea?
Instructions
1. Find a suitable location for the wine cellar and humidor, such as a closet. Make sure the room has adequate ventilation and a limited exposure to direct sunlight. Unscrew the hinges of the door. Remove any coat racks, shoe racks or shelving.
2. Install fluorescent bulbs instead of incandescent light bulbs. Incandescent bulbs give off too much heat.
3. Install the ceramic floor tiles. These are very resistant to humidity. Install 100 percent Spanish cedar wall panels. The shelves should be of Spanish cedar as well. They must be slated to allow air circulation.
4. Install an automated humidifier and a thermometer to monitor the temperature. The size of the humidifier depends on the size of the humidor. An automated humidifier filters water vapor into the air, so that the humidity level will increase. When the humidity is raised, water can no longer turn into vapor. Therefore, moisture won't deteriorate either your cigars or your wines.
5. Set up the wine rack. Be sure that the wine rack fits the size of your closet.
6. Set up a glass door. The glass must be tempered for safety. It's recommended to buy the door only and not the door with the hinges. Chisel the wood of your closet to make new hinges for the glass door or buy wooden hinges.
7. Install the glass door by attaching it to the hinges. Test for air flow.
