kjellfrick Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 It is a very nice humidor, Bruce. IIRC, I saw one in Cuba last month, I think it was in the LCDH in Pinar del Rio, but then I was in and out of so many casas my memory is jumbled, lol. :-D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Digi Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 This might be rather nit-picky on my behalf, but those autographs look like they are done in sharpie. Would that affect the flavor of the cigars or the humidor in general? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaltPointer Posted March 29, 2008 Share Posted March 29, 2008 Bruce, What a beautiful humidor . . . and it seems clear from the comments that this is something you've chased for a long time. Would love to hear more about your history with this item, if you'll share. It truly seems to mean a lot to you, and I'm a sucker for a happy ending. In any event, sincere congratulations on what is clearly a meaningful event, as well as a beautiful heirloom piece. Charles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JWeb Posted March 29, 2008 Share Posted March 29, 2008 Damn nice purchase broozer. I'm envious, as a newly minted Vegueros fan. I'm also eager to hear how the cepos measure up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaltPointer Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 Thanks, Bruce . . . may not be a HUGE story, but it's certainly a GOOD one. :-) Thanks for telling it . . . and congrats again on finding this beauty. Charles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was extremely rare 11 years ago, when it was posted but good luck, man. You can find something like it If you attend auctions go to events etc... @99call has some impressive items from a recent thread (seen below) maybe he can give advice. https://www.friendsofhabanos.com/forum/topic/136271-show-me-your-cajon Side note: Man, I really preferred the bands on these back then. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
