Handmade by an old family friend - he's a master wood-worker who makes all kinds of reproduction furniture and interior woodwork. I think this is the fifth humidor he's ever made (he normally doesn't make small stuff) - he made one for each of his four sons, then since he had enough materials left over, made one for me. I figure I got the best one since he probably made all his mistakes on the first ones :)

And here it is open. A little empty at this point, gotta work on that :)

This one won't be relegated to the tobacco library (which doubles as the guest room); it's nice enough to reside in the living room.
Here's his trademark. He put it on the bottom, but I think he should have put it on the inside of the lid.

I blacked out his last name as I don't like putting ID info out in public.

Something that nice needs to be filled with only the finest Brohibas.

Funny thing is, he never sells any of his work. Just a hobby for him. What he doesn't install in his own house he gives to his kids and friends. Their houses are full of his handiwork. He's over 80 now, so his output has slowed down a bit.
I once asked him if he ever considered making a business of it. He said no, if he did, he'd make much less than minimum wage, considering the time he puts into it.
NICE DAMN NICE< luck guy you is, whats all that empty space in there for?????

Indeed. I need to roll some more Brohibas, haven't done much lately, too busy with other projects and obligations.
