My New Humidor

It was custom made by a guy who works in the Distribution office here at work. Approximate outside dimensions are 15-1/2" wide X 11-1/2 deep X 7" high. It's mainly made of Birdseye Maple, ~ 3/4" thick and it completely lined by 3/8" & 1/2" Spanish Cedar. The dividers in the bottom are moveable. The dark strip across the top is walnut, he told me what the lighter wood on top is but I don't remember. The smell of the cedar when I opened it was heavenly. I have only one minor complaint, that the tray is a little shallow. But it will suffice.

As a note, the maple came from a barn in Northern Ontario that was torn down ~ 30 years ago, and was about 170 yerars old when it was dismantled. The pictures do not give it justice, trust me.

By the way, it cost me $200.

Gorgeous...this guys taking orders? I can't imagine you could find a custom built humi for 200 bones.

Wow this guy should start making humis commercially it looks awesome :smiley20:

Reminded me of the Neil Young classic- Helpless, when I read that part of your post. The first lyrics in the song read: "There is a town in North Ontario".

Very nice humi, Jim.:smiley20:

Great price for that Humi.

Someone asked what the seal was like. While I haven't done the "flashlight test" yet, the seal is good. If you hold the lid at a 45 deg angle and let it drop, you hear a rush of air as it is almost closed, and then the lid settles slowly the last 1/8" or 1/4". When opening it, you feel just a little suction.

OK, a couple of guys asked me to post pics after I had it full, here ya go.:
