I thought my Mini would provide plenty of room, but could have used an end table. Bob is a great guy and I couldn't be happier with my Aristocrat:

Thanks darkninja for you guidance.

excellent gifts! Hold on to that one. Usually my cigar christmas consists of a fiver in my stocking. nice thing is that last year it was a fiver of Special S's.

Julius,
beautiful humidor. Congrats on the purchase. May it always remain full.

Cheers,
Zach

Nice Mini Dave. Which wood and stain is that? I opted for the DX base as mine sits on the floor too.

 

[darkninja67]

Yeah Zach I will rest them. I may have to get some out to you if it overflows.

Dave pics of the contents please.

It is walnut wood. I sent along a drawer from a table my dad had made and Bob matched the stain. It is pretty close to just hand rubbed (tung oil) walnut.

I will try to take a few more photos.

I knew that grain looked familiar. I had some Monitor Audio RS6 speakers in walnut. Very very nice looking.
Definitely snap some pics of the interior, the frosted glass precludes us from seeing the good stuff.

Oingo Boingo, got some great smokes in today:

They are stellar.

An early Christmas present:

Mmm PSD #4's Do want.

 

[Zarathustra19]

Those PSD's are not only delicious, but beautiful. Very nice acquisition.

The Oliva V's are always a classic. I had the 2009 sampler a few weeks back, excellent smokes.

In other news, I got a box of Devil's Weed Corona Gorda's a few days ago. At first, I was impressed with the flavors, but toward the end they got sort of...metallic tasting. I'm going to let them rest for a little while and see how they mellow out.

Cheers!

I just got a box of taboo lanceros, plus some assorted taboo nicaraguan maduros

 

[Zarathustra19]

I've heard really good things about Taboo from a lot of people. Haven't gotten around to trying any of them yet, but maybe next stock up time I'll give them a go. Let me know how they are Grawk.

Cheers,
Zach

More Christmas cheer:

My girlfriend says she has 4 more boxes of smokes. I know I am getting a box of 601 Greens.

My jaw has officially dropped. The RyJ's are beautiful cigars, and that girlfriend of yours sounds like a keeper, Bill. Four boxes...does she have a sister?

Cheers!
Zach
