Well the wife wanted to go to flea markets and antique stores because she was wanting a desk to spruce up. I never mind going to these because I'm always on the lookout for estate pipes so I agreed.
Well, I didn't have much luck in the estate pipe department but I was looking in a booth at one and saw two ammo cans. I considered buying them, as the price was pretty good for the cans. On a whim I opened one and much to my surprise, saw it was lined with Spanish cedar. I quickly grabbed the other one and sure enough, it was as well. Then I noticed in a corner near the bottom was the Surgeon General's warning.
So they're not complete, as they do not have humidifiers or hydrometers, but they have the cedar custom fit. The corners are even cut on 45 degree angles. Very nice.
Now to buy a couple of Boveda seasoning packs and a couple Heartfelt tubes and I'll be ready.

Sweet!
I don't have emotions, and sometimes that makes me very sad.

In the last year I have found, a pipe rack for $5, a pre-Republic Peterson pipe in excellent condition for $20 and now these ammo can humidors. This one was totally unexpected.Check out my Youtube channel, Razorback Piper Guy if you like that sort of thing.
