Hi, nice job! I think I read in one of the earlier posts that you would change the red cedar out for some Spanish cedar. I hope you do so. red cedar does have a negative effect on cigars. It is unfortunate that Spanish cedar is actually named cedar, because it isn't cedar at all and that...

Just FYI. I won't say "all" but it is a very safe bet that just about any name brand humidor you find anywhere was made in the same Chinese factories as the ones offered by the more reputable net sellers and on eBay. Note that I said REPUTABLE SELLERS. There are a few sellers who have junk...

Sorry to hear about that. Normally that model is a good deal. Won't hold 500 cigars, but still should have been a much better deal.

No worries, Jonesy. Your post had nothing at all to do with the issue. Just some emails I received a few days ago. Thanks for the boost!

That really is agood price for the lumber. I buy it wholesale locally, but after I add the milling charges for resawing and surface sanding the raw lumber into 1/4" slices, my wholesale price for larger quantities is less than $1.00 cheaper. You do have to count shipping into the mix, but I...

I'm glad it arrived in good shape. Also, thanks for posting photos of the box. I'm glad to see UPS is not rolling the boxes down the shoot. This is NOT your fault, so please don't take the following the wrong way. Your post has created a bit of a problem for me and I need to clarify...

This is the only one I am making now, but that is just because I have several orders to fill, it does not mean that I will not make anything else larger and with drawers. I have several ideas rattling around, just little time to act upon them. If you have a custom job in mind I'm interrested...

Hey everyone, I'm that dude in Chad's photos who desperately needs a hair cut. Chad can tell you I was reluctant to step in front of the camera, but what the heck, it's my humidor so I may as well fess up to it. I'm happy to answer any questions or talk about custom work, or just regular...

In short, there is a reason you don't see antique humidors in use for anything other than a pencil box for the grandkids. MDF may be cheaper (a nice benefit to the maker) but you will probably see more MDF humidors in use 30, 40, 50... years down the road than you will even the best made...
