New addition to the family

jluck · 08-06-2012, 02:35 PM

I could not resist the deal (Damn Craigslist).

I was running out of room with one desk top and one half ass wineador then along comes this deal. I was wanting a different space for forbidden fruit storage so this is it for now. Has anyone ever seen this brand/model before? I did some Goggling and found very little. It's 48" tall 21" wide and 17" deep, very solid construction and came with a "Keep It Fresh" commercial humidifier.The door has a shield and mountain lions (cougar/puma) on it and says "Cigets Companion single sweets".

If the electric humidifier don't impress I will be hitting you up for beads when money allows.

Wow! That is nice. Would be nice to have some history on that. Enjoy!

Looks like a really good buy, Congrats!!!

Nice score; now I need to hit craigslist.

Mikepd · 08-07-2012, 12:20 PM

Do you have the top active half of the humidifier?

[Edit] Never mind I see it now in the top photos. Check it closely for mold present, and clean it well before use. That device has a good history of working well but shops lack cleaning upkeep and mold grows on the underside, nothing major just something to remember to do. [/Edit]

LT_Blueshine · 08-08-2012, 11:27 PM

I have never thought to look on Craigslist! *face palm* Good find!

From what I can find on Google, Fuego Cubano Corp was a tobacconist company in CA that closed up. They also did some rolling of custom cigars, perhaps a house blend or something. I would guess they custom ordered this humidor (and more like it) for a lounge or retail shop. Brand identity you know?

I've seen major manufacturers (Altadis and General come to mind) place display humidors in shops to showcase a particular line of cigars. Typically they come with a package deal where you buy so many boxes of the showcase line and you get the display unit free with it.

Typically they claim to want the unit back when you stop carrying the lines, but in my experience they could care less. It costs Altadis less to buy a new humidor than it could cost in shipping to move the one we had to another shop.

Thanks for the info. I also found "cigets Companion" on line that were some Fuego Cubano cigarette/cigar hybrid this case was made for, Apparently they didn't last.

Any opinions of value?

first thing I do every AM when I get to work is look on craigslist for humidors, I have yet to find anything that nice. Too bad I live on the east coast or I would have grabbed that one,

Remo · 08-22-2012, 12:41 PM

N2 GOLD · 08-22-2012, 12:52 PM

Wow she's beautiful! Nice grab, looks like some nice custom work there too! I'd have paid a couple hundred easy for her for sure!..I'm also a cheapskate! lol

mosesbotbol · 08-22-2012, 03:30 PM

Good grab. I see commerical humidors on CL pretty frequently and often well priced. Yours is nicer looking than many, and the sizes vary. Enjoy!
