    How much would you pay for this Humidor?

    I know this is to the Cigar field but I would like opinions on what you guys honestly think a humidor like this would be worth. I am looking to maybe start making them and possibly a smaller end table size one for some extra income. The one pictured is one I just finished for a friend. It is...

    Shag cut bowl shape

    I have been having a problem lately with 965 bulk biting like a pit bull. Is there a certain shape that works better for shag cuts? Most of mine are billiards and all my other Bach is either chunky or flake, so I tend to gravity fill also.

    Critique please.

    So, I have been working on this guy for a while and was wondering. Should I shorten this one a bit? I could take just shy of a 1/4 inch off the bottom. It's going to be a 1/4 bent tankard I am thinking.[/url][/img]

    Southerners...Civil War......GITT.

    Calling all proud Southerners. I Just finished a movie on the cadets from VMI that fought in the Market Valley battle. It has peeked my interest in the southern side of things. I freely admit I am uneducated when it comes to the CW. My paternal family was from Ohio so therefore the north. My...

    Loss of taste?

    Has anyone else have a loss of taste. For the past few days I have only been able to taste the most strongest blends in my arsenal.
