Cigar Aficionado - Low Membership Price! (http://www.cigaraficionado.com/webfeatures/show/id/first-look-oliva-v-melanio-limited-humidor-18279)
Now that's something I'd like to have, just not sure my wife will want me blowing $900 on it.

There's about $700 worth of cigars in the humidor so the box itself is about $300. Unfortunately, we all know it's made overseas and the quality is likely crap. That being said I have been smoking the Melanio since it launched almost three years ago. So, I'll probably get it.

Pretty cool thing, and I've been in love with the Melanio line from the first one I tried.
Want the cigars. Don't want the humidor. Definitely out of my price range.

Yeah, there's no way I'm going to seek this out, but it is nice to dream. The humidor looks sharp. I like the finish on it, and I certainly hope it would function better than my current line up. Some beautiful contents in there too.

It pays to be nice to your local cigar store. I'm fortunate enough to live in the Washington DC area, where there are 5-6 cigar stores within a 20 minute drive from my work or home. My brother and I frequent one particular store and we've become great friends with the owner. We are always given prices 15-20% off regular cost, and often times below online prices.
Today, I walked in and the owner had a nice surprise for me. One of the Oliva Melanio humidors. The owner knows I've been smoking these since they launched four years ago so this humidor was set aside for me. While the retail price is $900 the owner was kind enough to sell it to me for considerably lower. So low that after I did the math the humidor was free and the cigars were 15% off regular price :)
