Found it on letgo.  The lady was using it as a curio cabinet.  I didn't really NEED a cabinet, but for $80 I couldn't pass it up.  I'm picking it up tonight.  


It's exactly like this one.  Has some cosmetic damage, but nothing a furniture pen can't fix up.

That's a hell of a deal. I wouldn't have passed on that either.

This just means I'll buy even more cigars!  That's both good and bad.

Will do that, but haven't attempted to post a pic on this board.  A little trial and error is in order. :biggrin:

Very nice find for sure  :bigthumbs:

There is one on Craigs List right now @ $225 locally but then I would want to fill it with Liga Privada's resulting later in divorce proceedings :lmao:

I am not concerned about what you think as I can tell you don't do it often.

I used to be a people person, but then people ruined that for me.

I have it in the bed of my truck.  The base has some dings and chipped edges, but tge interior is perfect and smells really nice.  I'll get it home, plugged up and sit some bowls of distilled water in it.

Wow! To say thats a deal is an understatement!!!
Forever seaching for the perfect cigar, one puff at a time.

It has scuff marks here and there and the base is looking beat up, but the cabinet seals tight.  I might put some weather stripping around the door, just to get an even tighter seal.  Still one hell of a deal for $80.  I didn't even debate on the price.  I looked at it and put $80 in her hand.  

Do I have to go through a 3rd party site to post a pic?  Something like photo bucket or can I post jpeg straight from my phone?

There is a size requirement to post pics, not sure what it is, as I am computer challenged...I know how to size em up to fit, and use Pixlr.com to make my adjustments...I'm sure another geek will post up the tech stuff fer ya!  :biggrin:

Alright here we go.  As you can see, the base looks rough and there are blemishes.  The door seals tight and I'm seasoning it now.

Humidity is slowly heading north.  It was at 62 all day yesterday and has finally crept up to 63%.  I have two bowls of distilled water and a cigar oasis in there.  I put the CO in to move air around a bit.
