Well I'm glad to see that someone got a good deal. I was holding out for CBid to restock the Napoleon II (double sized version) humi, when I found myself running out of room again. Got a few more ISOMs, Fuentes, CAOs, PAMs and PANs, tough problem to have. So I decided to try out the original Napoleon only now I'm under a time constraint. I decided my top price was $70 and that's what I paid.

You win some, you win some and pay more than you may have had to. That's an auction baby.

I'll get 'em next time.

I would suggest that you search on coolerdor, tupperdor, sweaterdor, well you get the picture. Much cheaper and can be put together much faster than ordering a humi.

Why spend $75 when you can get a full set up for $25 or less? Save that extra money for gars.

Thanks Tony, but I already have one coolidor, one large tupper and 3 desktops. If I build another, I'll only buy more cigars. I don't have the funds to expand at the moment. Right now I'm struggling to keep my monthly purchases limited to replacement numbers only.

In this case, I wanted a display humi for my Super Premiums and ISOMs. Drawers 2 and 3 I keep stocked with pairs of stogies from my tupper so I no longer have to open it up and dig. My cooler is vertical with shelves so those sticks are easily accessible.

I foresee myself needing the larger Napoleon II later down the road if they ever get it back. If not, then I'm glad I got one of these (you never know how long these'll be around either). If so, then I've got the trading option for the old one.

Still happy.

Time for lunch.

Take it easy.

In the John, Tony. The tobacco aroma helps disguise the smell in there. My guests seem to appreciate it.

No, they're in my office at home. I use the glass top to point out the smokes that my no-taste friends can't have. { =^ )

lucky you my wife prefers mine in the basement - actually it is better for me there all around. Not as humid and she has no clue what I have.

Without the frozen ground out west here, we don't have many basements. Would be nice though.

I feel ya' on the wife issue. Fortunately she hasn't stuck her nose too far into my proverbial humidor, but it is a bit of a risk. She hasn't given too much thought to the new tupper. A few months back, I told her it was for 1 or 2 extra boxes that I didn't have room in the cooli for. Now it's full. Whooops.
