I think I have finally settled on the Aristocrat M; however, I am not totally sure that I won't need something bigger in the future. So that has me looking at the MXT as well.

Could any of you share some of your aristocrat pictures? I would love to see all sizes with some cigars in them! Any and all would be appreciated!

The MXT is a nice size, as that is the one that I have. I have the "middle" size that is between the two depths that Bob lists on his site. 2 boxes deep and plenty of airflow. Here are some pics of mine.

This one has sticks, but keep in mind that it it years old. It shows 2 boxes deep quite well. A current pic would not show this nearly so clearly :-)

What an awesome looking humidor that is, Mark. Thanks for taking the time to post those. I'm envious of that set up. I believe the difference is $400 between a MXT and a M. $400 for double the storage isn't a bad deal.

These pics are 5 years old, but give a good idea of the storage capabilites of the MXT-plus. Like Mark's, it goes two boxes deep. Pull out shelves are a must if you intend on filling it up.

If you are already thinking you might need to go bigger, then GO BIGGER NOW! LOL I have the MXT and filled it up in no time... jam packed. I knew I wanted a bigger size but I didn't want a divorce.

This is mine.
MXT Plus
I would say go as big as your budget allows.
I never thought I could ever come close to filling this.
It's not full yet, but it's only a matter of time.
I already have plans to get an additional M for long term storage.
As others have said, pull out shelves are a must!

Awesome pics guys!

Plus 48 , pullouts are the way to go. I went with 3 shelves and one drawer , depending on how many singles you want to stock Bob can build them accordingly.

Thanks to those who posted here. I am seriously looking at an Aristocrat and while aspiring to have a monster cabinet, looks like I will be going with the Plus 48, it's in my range and this really helped me get a feel for the physical size as well as capacity.

I ran across some photos of my Plus 48 when I first received it from Bob. That was close to six years ago when I was still in Calif. It's survived a 300 mile trip across the desert since then, and still looks/runs like the day these were taken.

If i were to do it again i would get another shelf as well. Stacking 5 or 6 boxes tall of all different boxes is a bit of a pain should.you want/need to get to the bottom of the stack..
