...Queen Anne legs on a husky double breasted humidor. Very creative. Very nice. great looking finish. Why did you choose a couple of deep drawers rather than a few narrow ones? Where's the humidifier? What's that on the top?

The large drawers are divided for various size cigars, most compartments fit 25 cigars. The humdification is simple: 5 Large brick type sponges, a digital reader on the door, and the back end of the cabinet. Thanks for the response.

Very nice indeed. Did you build it from scratch or was it converted? Kinda resembles a jewelry stand my wife has. Nice work!

5augie5: It's a coaster I forgot to take off when I took the picture. The meters which are digital are on the left door and inside the case, and the humidification stuff is also inside. Thanks for the response.

bud451: It's from scratch.Didn't want to pay the price of a similar size one. It has a black shelac coat, totally cedar lined/shelf, and tight as a drum. Total materials cost me about $175. Thanks for the response.

Ever think of making more and selling them? Looks like quality craftsmanship. Depending on the actual quality and the current demand for something like that, the price would probably be in the neighborhood of $800-$1200.
