This is a Humidor I built and gave away for a contest on a website formerly known as Cigar Live. The contest was to send cigars randomly on the site and get a ticket to win the humidor. No profit what so ever. Just for the fun of it. Almost 300 people gave a minium of 5 good cigars to fellow members. It was a lot of fun to see everyone get randomly gifted cigars. Many got quite creative. It's made from Honduras Rosewood, Wenge, Burlwood Walnut and Spanish Cedar. The hinges are made of Honduras Rosewood. I'll change pics when I find them.  I do all my own vacuum bagging and book matching. Sorry for no interior pics. I haven't found the SD card there on. This was a really fun piece to build. I've now built 4 like this for various people in the Cigar world. This is my 5th entry here, I should have 2 more shortly.  Please enjoy and feel free to comment.

 Thank you,
