Guys, I would eventually like to get a custom made humidor. How many of you have done this and how much should I expect to pay to have one made? Pics of your custom humidors would be a plus!

I was thinking along the lines of a custom desktop humi. Although I admit, those are some nice humidors! Little too rich for my blood though. Thanks for the link though! :tu
You will pay top dollar for custom anything simple as that. There are some humidor makers on this forum that I would ask if I were you....I think member shilala makes some

Thanks! Do you know what part of the forum he hangs out in?
Like I said before "if you have the money". Look at these, http://www.heirloomhumidors.com/customdesigns-desk.html

http://www.timscustomhumidors.com/Humidor_Pics.html.
I recommend getting a nice inexpensive one, and spending the rest of your money on cigars and a cooler with beads to store the over flow.:tu

Bob is the best. I have two of his unites and a Pendergast. For the money you can not go wrong with Bob. A master wood craftsman while very experienced lacks the details to build a custom humidor with nor prior experience. It is not cheap but Bob at Aristocrat possess both of these qualities and is fair on price. The only drawback is where you are in the USA. Freight can be over $1000.00

Tim seems pretty proud of his "custom" creations....
I had this one done for around $600 without any shelving inside... I just did that part myself. The guy offers many options as far as exterior wood and the inside is lined with spanish cedar. If you are interest PM me for his contact information. He is down in Texas but will ship anywhere in the US.
Thanks for the links for the desktop models. I have been looking into making a custom desktop humi for my office. The coolidor at home works great, but I need something a little more high class for the office so I can pull out some sticks to give to officers, detectives, etc.
I am looking for a very well made desktop humi, probably 25-50 ct. I do not want it to be really fancy on the outside or anything. My plan is to take it to a very nice western shop in my area which has its own saddle shop, and have some custom leatherwork done on the outside, and some silverwork done.
Man, custom leather and silver- price is going to be high, but oh so worth it I think:tu
So thanks again for the links!

Sorry for the late reply TXRebel, had to feed, bathe and get the baby ready for bed.
Thanks for the links. I had imagined that any custom humi I want was going to run me over $400. I was just hoping I was wrong! But it's cool, I mean it will be worth it to have something that is unique that I can leave to my kids!

MTMouse, great work on those! HK3, when the time comes (meaning whenever the wife goes out of town for work again) I will take you up on that offer! :tu

What's the capacity on that Hal?
What do you like better... the aristocrat or the pendergast?
I assume Bob is from aristocrat?
Aristocrats get a lot of love here, any reason why seemingly pedergast doesn't get the same attention...?
Thanks

This one only cost be about $5.00 to make. I know I could get 50 cigars in there if I had to! Probably not what you had in mind, but hey, think outside the box huh?
Also converted on old safe and spent about $120 to make this one.
Now THAT is what I call "thinking outside of the box"!
Yes, Bob makes a great cabinet! They're pricey, but worth every penny. :tu
