Great. I've never been a flavored tobacco guy but I did have an Onyx today at UpstateNY's recommendation. I WILL be buying it again. I'm also considering turning my center console in the rear into a humidor. That'll be a fun little project.

^ You'll have to make a parts list, take pics of the build, and make an Audi Rear Console Humidor DIY.

If you're gonna go that far, remote-pipe your humidity gauge and mount it in a vent pod on the dash, with a very small w/m (minus the methanol) injector system into the humidor if you see the gauge dropping too low

^ Thanks for the ideas! I like the remote gauge and water injection idea. I will definitley take pictures of the build and maybe even make a short video of it. What wood do you think I should use? I kind of want an exotic wood and I think I want an ashtray, cutter, and lighter on the lid of the console.

Oh yeah, and the Onyx is pretty damn good for an inexpensive cigar isn't it?

The inside wood lining should be made of cedar, to retain moisture, but not rot.

^ That's what I was actually leaning towards. I'm going to stain it nicely and like I said take pictures of the whole build.

I made the decision to make a new lid out of cocobolo then line it with spanish cedar. It'll be most excellent. I'm also going to make cut-outs in the lid to hold a cutter and lighter and put an ashtray in the front center console. It's going to go right along with an interior refurbishment I would like to do because my interior is beginning to look a bit tired.

That's a sick idea

Hey what does everyone usually keep the humidity level at? I'm the only one out of my friends who has a humidor so I'd like to see what other people say.
