That is the second edition.If that's the first edition of The Cigar Companion, it may be worth more than the box! That is an excellent book!
I have the Third edtion (blue). It is still outdated but has great information on all the classic cc's. I read something from it every day!When was the first edition printed? I got that book for X-mas a year ago and it was really outdated information. A ton of info on brands and marcas that no longer exist. I'll be lookiNG MORE CLOSELY AT HOME TONIGHT?

well thats why the interior box which holds the cigars has holes at the bottom of it, so that the humidity that is in the reservoir area will flow through the holes and into the box with the cigars.I think it MAY be a humidor, but consider this...if the humidifying element is placed at the bottom (as you suggest), all of the humid air would just sit in the reservoir area, and not rise up to humidify the cigars. (most desktop humis have the element at the top)
I thought the holes were at the bottom of the box (?) Looks like that in the pics, anyway.well thats why the interior box which holds the cigars has holes at the bottom of it, so that the humidity that is in the reservoir area will flow through the holes and into the box with the cigars.
thats the only thing i can think of ... why else would there be that area down there ... to hide your most valuable cigars maybe?!?!? lol
Warm humid air rises, cool humid air sinks. Again, this is why desktops have a puck or a humidification device on the top, and why large cabinets have fans at the bottom to circulate the sunken humid air.Actually, humid air rises. Counter-intuitive, but true.
yea, I agree ... it is very unorthodox! but the holes are at the bottom of the interior box, where the cigars would be held.I thought the holes were at the bottom of the box (?) Looks like that in the pics, anyway.
Hey, I could be completely wrong, here. I hope it is some forgotten humidor that is super valuable.
So far, the design just doesn't seem to follow a conventional humidor layout.
thats a negative! ... lolWell then since it's not a humidor, I'll give you $30 for it. PM me and I'll send you my addy.
www.craigslist.com ... i check it everyday!Where the hell did you find this for $30.00? I want one. :stretchgr
no, the bottom does not come off. everything seems to be solid wood, I know what your talking about the metal lined boxes (which are super old!), this one doesnt have anything like that.See if the bottom comes off or you can take out the lining I believe old humidors had metal boxes or slabs to regulate humidity (not too sure).
So, throw some beads down there and get it seasoning... hahano, the bottom does not come off. everything seems to be solid wood, I know what your talking about the metal lined boxes (which are super old!), this one doesnt have anything like that.
