I am blown away, i wish i knew how to video edit to show off my little mancave i did for whiskey and cigars, nothing as great as yours. Looks like a mancave Sinatra would drink some jack in.
Definitely do a video on the exhaust system/ filtration system. I’m in the process of turning my basement into a cigar room and looking for a way to keep smoke smell gone. Thanks!
As a musician, whisky enthusiasts and occasional cigar smoker myself i really likw what you've done here . Cool guitars , very respectable whisky collection, accommodating for cigar smoking , well done . I see so many videos were people build elaborate expensive home pubs and they stock it with nothing but bottom shelf thrash liquor and you have to go outdoors if you smoke . it's ridiculous.
Thank you. I consider it a multi-function room I obviously drink whiskey and smoke cigars in there but I also record music and videos. Lately it has turned into a lounge for the dogs. I need to fix that!
And you probably have no home bar and a couple of overpriced bottles of alcohol😂 I’d rather invest in my home than a 300$ bottle of whiskey. And there is nothing “ridiculous” about smoking outside, it’s called not giving your family members cancer.
I lived in England for several years and sat in a lot of those old pubs, you’ve done an exceptional job with that room. You’ve helped me along in my designing a room for pipe smoking, library and reading.
Excellent conversion of this space! I love it!!! A buddy converted a room in his home to a cigar lounge. His cigar lounge (room) has an outside access and the big dummy gave some of us keys to access the lounge. Well, while he was away, some of the guys filled his cigar lounge with huge balloons - floor to ceiling. Well, it got a little “explosive” when all the guys made it back to the lounge after attending a cigar dinner. Just a friendly warning? 😂
Thank you for sharing, that is the ultimate man cave! Impressive. Looks like a wonderful place to enjoy a cigar, a bourbon and some good music. Thanks again for sharing.
Wow, the wood paneling and molding really looks great. What an awesome space to enjoy great whiskey and friends. I have some okay whiskey shelves that I built several years ago, but looking at your set up makes me feel like I need to get busy.
Great Job! This is an awesome space you created for yourself! Going to definitely take some ideas from you when building mine. Thanks for the advice and video!
Absolutely do an airflow video - what do you do for make up air? That big exhaust would negatively pressure the house without! How do you recover heating/cooling losses? ERV/HRV or..? Also, with the humidor on the outside wall if there anything you have done to protect from temperature fluctuate outside? All in all a beautiful room regardless!
Excellent questions! This particular house has no return duct work. Instead, they were open registers in the transom above every door, so essentially the whole house is a return air Plenum. The system is equipped with ERV. However, it only removes moisture there is no humidifier to add moisture. The negative pressure in that room is essential to keep the cigar smoke in and exhaust it adequately. I have not noticed any impact on the heating cooling and air flow in the rest of the house. Keep in mind that I only have exhaust fan on the high-speed while I’m in there smoking a cigar. So that’s typically an hour at a time. So the maximum that it’s on the high-speed is two hours a day. I do turn it down to a much lower speed when I leave the room and I usually leave it on the low speed overnight. When I walk in that room the next morning, there is no residual odor. My major concern in that room is maintaining a stable temperature in relative humidity for the guitars. I accomplish that by adding moisture with a small room, humidifier when needed. The fluctuation in temperature in the humidifier is a legitimate concern. It appears to fluctuate from a low of 68° F to a high of 81° F. I have a sensor in there that sense is the temperature and humidity and I’m able to monitor on my cell phone. The relative humidity in the cabinet average of 74%. When I check the cigars, they are all at 70 or 71% which is where I like them. I have room to add about 1 inch of insulation behind the humidor, and I am considering doing that. I’m more concerned with the high temperature than the low. We recently had a spell of about eight days when the temperature was down in the 30s. I added a pocket warmer to the humidifier, and it brought the temperature from 55 to 70 in the humidor. So that solves that problem for the few days a year that it’s an issue. So far the maximum temperature in the cabinet has not been an issue. I will do a video specifically on the airflow, temperature, and relative humidity control. I would at this point recommend putting heat in wall humidifier on an interior partition. That was just not an option for me. Thank you very much for your interest and questions.
Dalmore, Glenlivet, Macallan, Balvenie. All the popular North American market malts. You wait until you try the good stuff! Enjoy your whisky journey! Slainte. 👍🏻 Ps great whisky den!
Why can't this guy be my next door neighbor?? Hey there's a house for sale here in my neighborhood in Corpus Christi, Texas that I'm sure he'd feel right at home!! Seriously though this is a very well done renovation that someday I plan to do something similar here in what is now my home office. Watching videos like this is great for inspiration.
Wow buddy you done a good job. This really looks like an old English cherry finish high end office look. I like what you have done I like my whiskeys and started taking a liking to cigars. I wish that one day I could do the same but I don't think my missus would let me in the house we have got as haven't got the space haha. I watched this all the way from Liverpool England.
Great video and beautiful room! Count me in for extreme interest in another video regarding air filtration and circulation. It’s what’s keeping me from pulling the trigger. Thanks so much!!
This room is FANTASTIC! Would LOVE to see a video on odor control. I bought a New Air (CC-150, I think) humidor/cooler. It died after a year and a half on my desk in my office. No excessive dust or heat. Very disappointed with that unit.
I have seen mixed reviews of those Humidors and I bought one as a gift for someone. I hope it works out better for them. It didn't work out for you so I can understand your disappointment. Unfortunately a good reliable humidor is generally a lot more expensive than those units.
I'd love to see more details on your ventilation setup. The biggest issue I've discovered is not getting the smoke out of the house, but replacing that air when the outside temps or air quality are less than ideal. The make-up air systems I've been looking into with inline heaters and filtration or ERV are insanely expensive. I'm currently just cracking a window in the living room and cranking the gas fireplace up to keep the temperatures tolerable during the winter.
I should point out that some houses and rooms in particular, are more difficult than others to achieve perfection. My house is not particularly tight and there is some make-up air coming in through an duct. Basically an ERV system. But passive. Very low cost. So if you can install a vent in the eves or roof and add a damper you may be able to get it to work satisfactorily. The attic inline fan I installed is also available with a heat and cooling controller. But is will not heat or cool by itself. Check out: acinfinity.com/inline-fan-systems/. I used the S8 model. I am working on a video with details of my ventilation system. Thank you.
Cool. I once read a statement that said ‘If a man can’t smoke a cigar in his own house maybe it’s not his house’. Well done my man.
I like the way you installed the humidor up off the floor. Good for us older guys 👍🏻
The dream
I saved this video as an inspiration and a legit goal. Thank you sir.
Thank God for the algorithm! That was one outstanding build salute to you my friend...
Awesome!!!!Music, cigars, whiskey...that's the heaven! Compliments from Italy, great job!
Many thanks!!

Im planning on doing the same this year. Looking forward to learning how to manage the air flow.

Do a video on your guitar collection
Your cigar collection and whisky
Nice job
Rock most of the time

Outstanding build. Good to see someone went with the grow house fan. I knew it would work well.
Glad you like it
This room is a masterpiece. It's giving me some inspiring idea's for a neglected part of my basement. Thanks so much for sharing!
Awesome! Thank you!

Thank you for letting me know. It did come out exactly the way I pictured it so I am very happy with it. Good luck with your project.
One of the best in home lounges I've seen. Enjoy
Well done!!
U r the neighbor everyone wants to have!!😂

My man congratulations on a job well done. Gorgeous room. Definitely a man’s cave. A one of a kind sanctuary for the lover of the leaf. 👍
Couldn't agree more!
Wow, very cool. Nice work. Thanks for sharing this video.
Thanks for watching!
Great video - like the mathematical formula to determine fan size. Thanks!
The ultimate seegar lounge. Got it down to a science bro. Here’s to wishing you the best seegar experiences. Aloha.

1min in and I love it!
Well done! Permitting my room now and looking at your design has me now contemplating continuing the wood paneling on the ceiling.
Forgot to add, I also would love to see details on the air system.
Go for it. It really adds to the ambiance.
