Beautiful... but how do people store this? I have a hard enough time playing Tetris with my Coolidor and wineador. Guess I’ll leave this first world problem to the more fortunate.

It's a set of 5 separate humidor drawers so the cigars are maintained within those.

[Bri Fi]

@Habana Mike so you’d take the drawer and store it separate from the entire piece? 

[Habana Mike]

No. Each drawer is a humidified humidor. Keep them as they are, keep the humidifying element in each drawer properly wet, the cigars will be fine.

Or you can take the boxes out and put them in your humidor/coolerdor....

More Orgullosos?? Take my money

You store them in a 200+ sqm WI HUMIDOR ?

Awful, looks like the team at Warcraft have produced this

[Nino]

All I see is a Beer Stein with a some slices of chocolote cake...not my flavour.

[Ryan]

The cigars are in boxes. Store the boxes in your regular humidor. Put this empty humidor on display or somewhere else.

I like it, though it's not for me. I like tying in the Giraldilla with the five steps representing the five centuries. 

The Swiss have got some nice humidors over the years. That Punch one was nice, as well as that Ramon Allones one in the shape of the band.

[Fugu]

I'd rather they'd put some tlc into LGCs regular "portfolio".

Producing a commemorative humi while not having a (/the) single format of the brand in supply is a joke - no, it's offensive.

Yes they do - beautiful pieces, especially the RA you mention.

I love it so much I had it "pimped" for my office and it served as an inspiration for another such "Band" Humidor a good friend and I had made in Havana by the same artist for us a few years back.

Call me old fashioned ... ??

Great pics Nino!  I think the "band" humidors are the nicest ones out there. The Partagas one is new to me.  Humidores Habana pieces?

[IanMcLean68]

I do like those cigar band humidors @nino! As for the Humidor Gloria Cubana one, not to my taste. Seems a little tacky to me, a bit like those painted models you buy in a dungeons and dragons and world of warcraft type "gaming" shop. Surprised it doesn't come with a drawer of multi-sided dice to be honest. Also impractical to store in a humidor as well, without breaking it down, which defeats the purpose if each box is separately humidified.

I also heartily agree with @Fugu that it is a bit of a joke to be releasing a commemorative humidor for a marca that has been diminished to a single cigar which is currently MIA, and has poor availability. Put the effort into releasing the MDO #4 and bring back the other cigars in the MDO series instead!

I am sure the Partagas Humidor is new to you - it was a "private-and-only-for-you-job" by the artist ( who shall remain unnamed ) and only done out of a years-long mutual friendship.

 

[PigFish]

Those are really classy Nino, thanks for sharing.

I agree with some others above about LGC humidors... Looks like it came from a 'Ace of Cakes' tournament from the Food Network. That thing is stupid looking. Take Nino's choice any day...
