    A lid that does not lay flat, flaws in the finish, glue residue, trays made 'un-square' is WRONG!!! The maker should make good his workmanship out of pride and integrity. No one is perfect, but failing to 'do the best to make good' is inexcuseable.

    I wish the buyer had come to me. Frankly I RESENT vendors offering so called 'quality' Humidors delivering amature workmanship. Learn your craft 1st, and then take orders. Thats the RIGHT WAY!

    I am offering to inspect the Humidor and make 'correctable' repairs as need FREE !!!! Just ship it to me.

    Alternatively I will give you $1160 credit [what you paid] toward a humidor from me if it proves to be un-repairable.

    Cigar Humidors have been my passion and I have poured my heart and soul into them. Humidors should be 'the temple' that your prized Cigars rest in.

    FWIW here is how I complete a Humidor

    swif - no need to do any further research on ArlinLiss...

    It is too bad more folks don't live with this kind of personal code of integrity - but it is far easier to be mediocre than expending the effort.

    Waxing Moon is very much standing out in multiple online cigar communities for his "workmanship". All by his own doing, it will not be long before he will not be able to collect high $$$ for one of creations. I'm quite sure, as others have before him, he'll fade into obscurity...

    I definitely got off on the wrong foot here and other forums talking about the issue I have. As you stated, "It is too bad more folks don't live with this kind of personal code of integrity". The point I was making with the humidor was Ed does not have this quality or I have yet to see.

    I can say I received an email from him stating he has a few project in the works and he should be able to settle with me soon. I have heard this for some time know. so me posting on all the forums has got him to reach out at least.

    Sorry for getting off on the work foot with you all.

    Ed of Waxing Moon has posted on another forum his reasoning and why he has had problems with resolving my concern along with the others that have had problems with his work. I only post to be far to him and allow those that are interested to view his reply at CP. I am trying to allow for those to read his side of the story. If you don't care then please do not post a reply about how stupid I am. I could care less what your thoughts are. Allow those who are interested to read with out detraction.

    Thank you for this WONDERFUL offer. This shows that you truly care about the cigar community and all that are in it. I will pm you.

    that fact that you would take someone else work and make it right at your own expense is amazing and shows what kind of great person you are. I could never except a $1160 credit from you because some else has done wrong.
