These are my 2 personal Humidors.

LMAO!!! Now that's funny

Somehow I just knew you'd be a sensitive lil fella. Gonna hand me my ass in wood working are ya???

Referee: Ok now, I want a clean fight you two - no funny stuff - no saw dust up your sleeve, no unplugging the other's power tools, and fer chrissake, measure twice and cut once!!!

Me: But ref, I'm not a wood worker! I only own this old hand drill a table saw I couldn't even bring!

Ref: Just relax, your opponent can't form a complete thought without himself as the main subject, and he'll be humpin' his port-a-lathe 2 minutes into the match and DQ himself for delay of game.

Seriously dude, nobody's challenging your woodworking skills. However, your arrogance and complete disregard for others is a different matter.

Aw, I see you've re-dedicated your tagline to me, or rather, people like me. As I mentioned, you'd have to matter for that to really mean anything. And, you don't.

Now go on wit yo bad sef woodworka playa!!

I tried to share my craft here. You started by insulting me. I would have helped anyone that wanted to build their own. I would have got any of you set up with the finest suppliers in the woodworking world. I would have taught anyone that open their mind to it. I would have even made pieces for you to use if you weren't equipped to do it yourself. You think you are so sophisticated, well you're not. You're a very bitter bunch. I'll be removing my pictures and my website. What I had to offer far outweighs what you brought to the table. You haven't hurt my feelings a bit. I just feel sorry for you. I'll go back to smoking a fantastic cigar while doing my craft. Have a nice life.

I'm shocked!!! You would leave because others are "bitter"?

Have you been the least bit self-reflective in any of this process? I have a funny feeling you don't have it in ya...

You're chuckling again, aren't you?

Well - it's more like a sick feeling at this point. Kinda like driving by a bad wreck - you just MUST look, but you know what you're gonna see and it ain't pretty...

It was "cute" earlier, but it's become a lot less "cute" over time. I knew what was coming a while back - was interested in the response when it was brought to light - wondered how humimini would handle himself (had a funny feeling it was gonna be something like this) and cannot believe the self-destruction has been this bad...

huminimi - if there ever comes a point in time where you understand what all of these "bitter" people are telling you - come on back. We'd love to share in your passion for your work.

Agreed 100%.

Humidor Minister, It seemed to me that you were not here to be part of the community, but rather to show off your woodworking, toot your own horn and, possibly, drum up some business. There's no doubt that you have some terrific skills in woodworking, but this is a cigar board and not an extension of your "hobby." There are some folks here who have forgotten more about cigars than you'll ever know (no, I'm not one of them, a couple of the guys you took on are.)

No one is bitter here, just cautious and protective. We want to know your intentions. When you come here and your "passion" for cigars has to be pulled from you while your other "passions" flow like water, we all start to wonder what's up and, as I asked, why you're here. Sometimes it's a misunderstanding, but more often it's someone who is out for themselves rather than caring about how they fit into and add to the community.

I've read where a lot of people describe this board as "bitter" or "dysfunctional." It takes a while to figure out, but when someone does their best to fit in here there's nothing bitter or dysfunctional about this board. The folks here don't kiss ass, and they expect that you will be who you say you are.

As George said, come back if you ever figure it out. As a resource you would be welcomed. As a superstar you'll probably be booted.

I was wrong; you're not chuckling.

Fast and furious from the perspective of this forum. IMHO, that was probably best for all concerned, given the timing of his joining here.

**basil** · 05-04-2009, 12:46 PM

Wow. Woodworking Spinal Tap.

Great post Mark.

The last three sentences are gold.

Humidor Minister,
I remember you from CL, when you were William Wyko, and I see you at other boards with this username now, so, its not like any judgements I've made just materialized today.

But, you never know. I've been wrong before and will be again.

As Mark said, this place takes a while to figure out, but once you do that, this is a great place to be.

This is humimini in a nutshell...

**prophetic_joe** · 05-04-2009, 01:34 PM

What is offered by the members here is far more beneficial than someone trying to sell something. Friendship, guidance and help is offered by members here for free everyday. If we want what you offer we pay for it. Sorry but there are other places to get that as well. Not to say that a nice humidor isn't a good thing, but I will take what the other gentlemen here have to offer over your humidor sales any day.

**MarineOne** · 05-05-2009, 03:43 AM

A cigar ashtray made of wood? Hey it's pretty to look at ..... but if I can't use it, what's the point? I'm sorry, but I'm not going to buy something if I can't use it because at that point it junk to me.

Seriously you've got some fantastic skills with woodworking, but your suck ass attitude and constant re-affirmation of your own self-importance aren't going to help drum up business.
