I'm doing the BIG 6 0 this December and the wife said that I should get something nice; soooo, I called Bob Staebell and put in my order.
I decided on an Aristocrat M Plus THC in Walnut.
The humi will look some thing like this:

I added a utility drawer in the top and an extra singles tray; so, the unit will be 38" wide x 52" high x 17" deep. This unit will have two peltier coolers to maintain the right temperature since we don't have a basement or cental air.
I was in Dallas last week on business and was able to make a stop at Bob's shop in Garland. Here are a couple of pics that I took with my phone camera.
Here is the famous Bob Staebell himself in the shop. Bob was nice enough to stay late so that I could get there from West Lake after my meetings and answered all of my inane questions with grace and humor. Truly a gentleman and an artisan/engineer whose passion is the building of the highest quality humidors that will last a life time.

And finally the beginnings of MY humidor:

It is supposed to arrive at the end of December and I'll post a few pics.
Edit:
Obviously Verizon is broken so let's see if we can get Picasa Google to host a few pics!!
