Holy cow. Great work Ed. That is beautiful.

mahtofire14 · 11-15-2012, 01:30 PM

That is awesome!

Blak Smyth · 11-15-2012, 01:33 PM

Wow this is gonna be cool!

iaMkcK · 11-15-2012, 06:04 PM

What a change from the pics I saw on my cellphone to these ones. I am dying in anticipation. This is hands down the most awesome thing I've ever had created for me. I love your work Ed. Thank you again, and again, and again. I can't say it enough.

Can't wait to see the end result. Cool thread...

mase · 12-05-2012, 08:00 PM

That looks awesome!

The idea was tossed around that this humidor have a Cigar Band lid. I myself only have a small stash of HTFs and upscale cigar bands. The lid will be able to fit a few more than the 20-30 or so I have. I've thrown out the suggestion to the Zombies, and we are in the process of gathering some bands up. Then I thought, anyone who follows this thread may be interested in throwing some in as well [And hell, I'd rather not clutter up General Discussion by begging for bands].. So if you like this Humidor and it's story, and want to contribute in the form of bands -- feel free to let me know. Now, for the record, I'm trying to keep this box top splattered with high end NCs, so no CC bands please. I know it may seem like I'm asking a lot, but honestly -- Only give what you can. Ed has bands, trust me -- I just want to give CA a chance to throw in some of their high end bands that they can part with. As far as upscale goes, things like high-end AFs like Anejos, or like LP Unicos, Tats, Illusiones -- Opulent bands that represent the high life. The only thing I can return to you is gratitude, and the chance to be a part of this project. If you can't spare any, please don't worry because that's just fine -- Your continued views/support towards this thread are enough in my heart. Thanks, CA. Thanks.

Looks awesome brother!! Keep the pics coming!!

WaxingMoon · 12-08-2012, 04:35 PM

She's coming along nicely.... cut the door away from the body.... and worked on the lid and the base....

As Jarrett said, we're going for a cigar band top... ought to stand out nicely....

The top frames are coved inward to reveal a bit of the Wenge case top.. it'll look nice when she's shined up....

iaMkcK · 12-08-2012, 04:38 PM

Dear Lord. Dear Lord...

Ranger_B · 12-09-2012, 01:08 PM

The humidor I won last year that Ed made has a cigar band lid and looks amazing. I can take some pics later today and post them up if you like. This is an awesome looking project so far.

Ubiquitous · 12-09-2012, 02:42 PM

Ed, you're truly an artist

WaxingMoon · 12-11-2012, 03:38 PM

Well, she's officially a humidor.... got her lined with spanish cedar today, and the seal is excellent!!!

Got her oiled up and now, just waiting on some cigar bands from Jarrett and need to build out the drawers... but, it's all down hill from here. Also have to attach the base and the top.... but, that's not a hardship. Will get several coats of lacquer too.

Hinges are hand forged wrought iron... thought that they would look better than brass..... plus, they're pretty heavy duty....

12-11-2012, 03:44 PM

Wow.....

iaMkcK · 12-11-2012, 04:04 PM

TJarv · 12-11-2012, 04:18 PM

It's looking amazing

12-11-2012, 04:20 PM

WOW Ed... that is beautiful...

Big Bert · 12-11-2012, 04:44 PM

Holy cow!!!! Awesome work Ed.. I think I wet my pants, now I really can't wait to see it done....

Jarrett, I'll gladly take a trip to see this beauty in person as well as to turn some Yummy sticks to ashes...
I'll have to stalk this thread a little longer Haha
