...Nate (nwb) got me into this:  He's always scouring craigslist ads in other cities and sending me leads, but I found this one on my own.

BTW, I found a guy in nearby Connecticut claiming to offer real Cubans through craigslist, and even free samples to serious buyers!      :lmao:  :lmao:  Nate jumped on that!

Hey now, he was very nice.  He even offered to send me the special limited edition regional release of the Montecristo #8.  The deal was too good to pass up, so now I have a great looking box of Cubans - they even have a glass top box!

Seriously, I'm glad you found a great deal.  For anyone looking for a humidor, I highly recommend scouring your local Craigslist ads.  There are some fantastic deals.

I sure hope that thing is holding humidity for you.  I had to come take another look.  It really is a beauty!

:shades:  Very nice.  If you ever decide you don't want that any more, you know where to go.

Yeah... he's going to ship it to my house.  :biggrin:  As a big fan of RyJ cigars that would be a nice fit for me. Excellent humi Bruce. Nice score.  :thumbsup:

UPDATE:  After 5 days of seasoning, it was holding humidity.  I was a little worried because the glass doors have some slight play to them, but the drawers also seem to act as a seal.   So I loaded it with about 150 cigars two days ago, and it has been holding a steady 65% ever since. Looks like a keeper!

Hey! How come Habana is written on here with a Sharpie ?!?

A day without whiskey is like . . . just kidding, I have no idea!

Glad to hear the new humi is working.

My cabinet has some play in the glass, too, but it holds humidity somehow.
