I'm not the one selling it but I found an interesting copper lined tobacco cabinet in an antique/collectible shop this morning. If anyone is interested shoot me a PM and I'll give you the shop name. It's located in Slidell, La. My apologies to the moderators if this isn't allowed.

pappymac:
I have an antique smoking stand whose cabinet is similarly lined with copper. The inside-front of the door features a perforated shallow rectangular holder for moistening media (perhaps a bit of sponge or a bar of clay).

Madox07 - From what I've been told, these cabinets were lined with non-reactive material like copper to protect the tobacco. I've also been told this cabinet was probably a cigar humidor but would have also been used to store pouches or jars of pipe tobacco.
