When glass tops were real...........

[99call]

Something about these just feels wrong.......but it's just our mental barriers at play.

I wonder how many tourists have picked these up in antique shops, and gone 

"Hey Mike.........check out this BS cigar box..........some poor sucker is going to buy this!"

I'll have the 20 Cts Partagas Cazzie and a shot of Moonshine please…

I've been telling people my glass tops were real ?

[Baccy]

So these were authentic boxes?

I get it and know it's some awesome antique stuff. But seeing a glass top box, with Partagas Cazadorez on the side, with Montecristo cigars inside, it's making my head feel funny

You mean my box of Cohibas with the red dot and a glass top from Mexico’s finest beaches aren’t real????!!!

Yup

Does the box work well for an actual humidor if the door was lined?

Erm... If kept in a cool, humid place out of direct sunlight then......yeah I guess. But I'm all seriousness no, I think these came from an era when salesmen had to put on a show, and actively display their wares.  I think another factor would be that aging wasn't a real consideration back then, it would of been a simple case of buy to smoke....repeat

That's true, long term storage wasn't available for many things. Imagine keeping meat prior to freezers
