Ahh, yeah I got confused there, had to go back and re-read.
Foam is...meh? It's cheap and functional, but nothing about it screams class and elegance. Agree with you about the stick!
I've been sitting here for the last 30 minutes staring at that picture trying to see how one could prevent any movement by the cigars if the case got shaken or banged around, and I'm not having any moving thoughts.
Still, this is something to do while my software compiles

The idea of trays rather than the rack/hole/slat mechanism, I can see that. I'd leave the tray front open or make it easy to flip the fronts down. That'd solve the different length of cigars issue.
I'm not following you on the second part at all. I won't be layering any foam, I'd only consider it at the foot of the assembly to cut down on rattling. I think you're considering foam trays that fan out. I can see that. I wouldn't do it because I hate that gray foam (I throw it away immediately). I suppose it's silly for me to dismiss a foam tray idea off-hand, but if I don't like the stuff and I won't enjoy working with it, there's really no sense in me considering doing this in the first place, ya know?
I'll be spending hours on it. If there's gray foam in the same room, I'd rather take a sharp stick in the eye. |
