My ultimate home cigar lounge 2023 update. "The Phenix Lounge" 2023 

Well said. Cheers

Thank you!

How rich does one need to be to have this?

Thanks!

Thanks! 👍

Thank you!

Well, not everyone is a millionaire

Thanks man!

Yeah, we don't have basements here in Texas either. I think I've seen only one house with a basement in all our house hunting over the years. My home is ranch style, but there is a second story master suite (not the entire house size). This room is off of my garage, and the door I started in video goes to the rest of my home.

@@psykoholic well it looks great. Grest job

Thank you

Thank you! Yes, having the theater equipment really ups the immersion for media viewing and listening.

Thank you! It was one of my life goals achieved :)

Thank you! I've built a great cigar club (group of men) around the lounge and we really enjoy it. I smoke a Brulee or one of the variations (blue or wagashi) almost every morning with coffee. Fantastic cigars!

The next time I do ventilation cleaning I will try to remember to film the components while I'm up in the attic and put together a more in depth video about the systems I'm using.

I did all that back in 2016. The company was called Advanced Home Comfort and I added Trane Clean Effects and UV light to my air handler, and a Trane ERV. Back then I paid $6650 for these components installed.

I had an ERV system installed. It runs 24/7. Exhausts smoke air out of the home and replaces with fresh air from outside, while recovering much of the temperature and humidity. If I was doing a new build I'd put in a commercial grade unit, but as it is I had to go with 300 cfm as that is what they could fit through my attic access. It works well, especially with the fans pulling the smoke to the ceiling.

Yeah its intentionally spelled this way; there's a story behind it... maybe I'll do a video someday.

I was fortunate enough that this room was already built with its own HVAC system when I purchased the home. I've just done light remodeling and made it cigar friendly. Even the closet was present, which I converted into the walk in humidor. I have a video I put together when I built that. So even though I have a lot invested in the systems and details, much of it was done over the course of several years. To build it from scratch would've cost considerably more!

It was one of mine and I was able to achieve it. You can do it!

Sorry for what?
