Hey all.
Putting my foot in the door here with an intro post. I actually just discovered there were message boards on cigarbid just a couple days ago. I've been reading a bit on here - still can't make heads or tails of half the terms/acronyms used in here (as well as other cigar forums) ... still learning. But, seems like a great group of cigar lovers that makes up the boards here.
I'm a fairly new BOTL from Indiana, having only recently jumped two feet into the hobby about 3 months ago. I say hobby because I treat it as one. As with my other interests, it involves tools, toys and time. I've been an occasional cigar smoker for a few years, maybe one or two a year. Fast forward a bit and my brother in law gifted me a 10pack of MUWAT. I needed cigar storage.
Once I got interested in cigar accessories I knew it was all over. Now I'm buying toys and tools, and spending time learning/exploring this interest. All the ingredients for a hobby.
So, after some consideration I decided to do a Hybrid Humidor. Part tupperdor/coolerdor, part custom humidor. I had a watertight case that I tested for the ability to hold humidity and it passed as well as any cooler, which is to say perfectly. I bought some Spanish Cedar and built a liner in the box. All press-fit within the box and the box lid closed-cell foam is a tight fit against the box on the inside while the box's silicone O-ring seal keeps the whole thing airtight.

Threw out a couple low bids on a few boxes and fivers of cigars I wanted to try, thinking I'd only win a third of them, and won 90% of them...
So, I'm really hoping I can be an active contributing member here, I'm on a couple other forums online and active still in most of them. Always the hard part is becoming an established member. I'll do my best.
