I'm calling accessory shenanigans...
 

The other CA is featuring an accessory on their website.

As they explain it, it is supposed to prevent broken wrappers and allow the flavors of the cigars to optimally unfold. As I see it, the acrylic only increases the chances that the wrapper will get damaged. I've never cracked a wrapper dropping a cigar into a box, but I can foresee cracking one just pulling it out of that contraption. Plus cigars age better with less air flow. Removing them from their Cab's or Boxes to place them into this contraption would be a waste and would not age them better then their original boxes.

Keep in mind this is not an advertisement, this is an endorsement. So who's tossing all of their boxes and replacing them with this hunk o' junk?


Oh, and now your 3000-ct humidor only holds 300 sticks.

I am a cigar aficianado, sponsored? :D

Re: I'm calling accessory shenanigans...
 

That thing looks ridiculous.

Re: I'm calling accessory shenanigans...
 

well, at least it saves space!!!

Re: I'm calling accessory shenanigans...
 

wine rack for cigar...lol

Re: I'm calling accessory shenanigans...
 

But, but it will, "allow the flavors of the cigars to optimally unfold". Sounds worth it to me. Looking forward to the guys that really now about this stuff to help out here.

Re: I'm calling accessory shenanigans...
 

So if you have that down in your humi, how do you get cigars out of it to smoke it they just don't happen to be on the top level? Do you have to take the entire contraption out of the humi to get at the cigars?

Re: I'm calling accessory shenanigans...
 

Yup, and I'd bet you couldn't pull that thing out without damaging at least one wrapper.

Re: I'm calling accessory shenanigans...
 

Hey, it does appear to have a handle :D

edit:
BTW, I'm horrible disappointed that we're this far into a thread on that CA and no one has commented on how this would enhance the flavors of 7 yr Madagascar Vanilla!

Re: I'm calling accessory shenanigans...
 

I can almost see the thought process that went into this. "You know, a lot of cigar smokers are retro-fitting VinoTemps to store their smokes. That's it! A cigar-sized wine rack!"

Re: I'm calling accessory shenanigans...
 

But, what about, "allow the flavors of the cigars to optimally unfold." ? Worth the risk no?

Re: I'm calling accessory shenanigans...
 

You know I'm just going to end up dropping it.

Re: I'm calling accessory shenanigans...
 

That things is ridiculous, but you know there will be people who will buy it. :rolleyes:

Re: I'm calling accessory shenanigans...

Re: I'm calling accessory shenanigans...
 

Does it come in petite corona size or only churchills worthy of this "unfolding"?

Re: I'm calling accessory shenanigans...
 

Looks like some engineer that got laid off in this economic mess were in decided he would take his bridge building expertise and apply it to cigars.


Oh, and there is no other C.A.....

...there is however c.A. ;)
