The Herwiggy Nation can now smoke in style. Mark Lobsinger commissioned this custom humidor with the Herwiggy logo front and center. The humidor is 9" X 12" X 5" and will hold 25-30 cigars for premium ageing. The entire piece was constructed of solid wood and was designed to endure lifetimes of use. The main box or carcass is Black Cherry. The Bird’s Eye Maple handle is mortised into the lid. The carcass was constructed with miters reinforced with keys and pinned at the corners. The keys are Bird’s Eye Maple and the pins are cherry. Holly inlay was set into the background of the lid. The Spanish Cedar interiors are intentionally left unfinished. The aroma of the cedar adds to the taste of the cigars as they age. The interior sidepieces were not glued in place and lock in when the humidor is seasoned. The exterior was finished with a Watco Danish Oil (Natural Color). The entire piece has been top coated with paste wax. This was a deviation away from my typical dovetailed carcasses using a birdhouse jig to shoot the long miters for the corners. The humidor also has a significant amount of hardware that is associated; humidifier, hygrometer, lid support, and the normal hinges. I guess I cannot speak to how well the humidor works till I sample from its storage.

CLAY! Dragoo and I have been stalking you and Amiee out... It's getting respectively slower here at the CTDVC, although its been a wicked busy summer. Snow flew a few days ago wreeking havoc in Jellystone just as a ragin fire and reconstruction on a bridge shut down access anywhere north of Old Faithful! But the Teton are looking splendid with a little confectionary sugar on top and we're all getting the stoke for the winter season. Some are staying here, but I managed to weasle my way into a ski patrol gig down in Park City at The Canyons. Definetely looking for a new ski this winter and would be really excited to throw down on some Herwiggy's. how do I make it happen?
Love it Clay, love it. Keep up the chipping.
