The reason for the price (besides being much larger than other top names) is the wood, labor and engraving. The Chery, Wenge and Spanish wood, plus the handmade Brusso hinges were over $450.00

The labor just for the side and bottom coves took 12 hours at 1/16" cutting at a time with sanding in-between. Then another 4 hours for the Wenge dovetails. There were many more hours for the inside work and engraving. The engraving artwork itself took over 50 hours to create prior to the actual engraving by an Epiliog system.

The reason your Chinese import works the best for RH is probably due to the small size of it. The smaller it is the better it maintains RH. It is a known fact that larger humidors need to be at least 50% full of cigars and cigar boxes to have the best RH. It's easier to fill a small one.

Lastly, this is not for those just looking to store cigars. It is a great addition to fine furniture as well as being art itself.

Your comments are appreciated.
