A really nice humidor, the exact size I was looking to purchase in the next couple months. I have been using a tupperdor for my cigars so far with great results, but they are not pretty to look at. So now I have this nice piece to hold the sticks I am currently smoking and can put it on the end table in the living room.

Thank you again so much David!

Very nice. Nothing beats the look of a good wooden humidor. You can't beat a tupperdore for functionality, they just don't look so great.

@droy very nice of you sir!

It looks like a Xikar Xi cutter would fit in that slot.

Speaking of which I need to get a new cutter, the plastic guillotine one I have is already dull. I made a bullet punch out of an old Winchester 270 casing which works great with most cigars, it is not suited for smaller gauge sticks though. Now to decide on a better quality guillotine, or maybe a v-cutter, or both...:stogie:

So I know these aren't fancy and probably of low quality; but I found these torch lighters in the clearance rack at the grocery store for less than $3 each. Five are triple flame and one is a single. Lighters for the cars, the golf bag, the garage, give them away to my friends, or when they borrow I don't have to worry about getting them back. You can never have too many lighters! If they stop working? Oh well, at this price they are disposable.

Welcome to the club. I originally thought I'd only use mine for torpedoes, but I find myself using it almost exclusively now.

I had originally bought a cheap plastic Vertigo as I didn't know if I'd like the V-cut. Found myself cutting it twice to form a +
This one is deep enough for a single cut so the Vertigo will go to the golf bag.

Got this beauty this past Friday, sorry it took so long to post.
Also have to give Kayla @cheaphumidors a huge thank you for her honest help and input while choosing which one to get.

I was really hopeful the pics would come out better, but I always forget the light over the dinner table screws with my camera's white balance. So needless to say these pics do not do it justice, I would take some more in better lighting, but it is seasoning now. I guess bad pics are better then none though.

I decided to season with the Boveda seasoning packs since I have had great success using them (for humidity control) in my tupperdors.
Kayla also hit me with a surprise 5ver, all of which I have been wanting to try.
https://i.imgur.com/4ADTWez.jpg

The finish is really nice and it passed the paper test with flying colors. I can't wait to start using it, only 13 days to go.

Thanks again Kayla!

Whoops, didn't know there was a no empty humidor pic rule. I sincerely apologize, only 11 more days of seasoning and it won't be empty. I will refrain from posting any more pics of it until it's emptiness is fixed.

Rule may have been a poor word choice on my part. There is not any actual rule against it. Feel free to post them empty or full......:devilgrin:

I think the phrase "no pics - it never happened" ergo, a pic means it happened....... :camera:

I can't make a comparison between it and other models, but I can tell you it is like cutting butter with a hot knife when using it. Really happy with it and wish I had not waited so long to get one.
