Have a few more sticks to move over and two orders just placed yesterday but here she is. I added a switch so the LEDs only run when the door is open since the transformer for them gets warm.
Getting the humidity up was a bear. I think all the wooden slide out shelves are porous so they soaked up a lot. All the boxes in there but two right now are empty and added for a humidity sink as well as aesthetics. I wet them down each a couple of times and then took to running a little vaporizer the girls have for smelly stuff a few hours a day. Needless to say, in theory the thing isn’t likely to drop humidity easily either. Also plenty of space for adding more cedar trays or full boxes.

Tonights Offering:
Southern Draw Rose of Sharon
After a fresh V- cut the unlit draw give a hint of dried apricot, but vanishes after the the light. A super creamy smoke, very mellow and sticks on the back of the throat thick with a nice hit of cedar a bit of oak and just a touch of milk chocolate. Holding the smoke and rolling it around on the palate give a hint of baking spice and a wonderfully smooth and mellow pepper with spices on the retrohale. A lingering black licorice on the back of the throat and palate with even a bit of banana bread on the tongue after exhale. This is a perfect cigar with some coffee. I bought these based on Tim’s review and my wife’s name and favorite Hibiscus
Highly recommended. Box worthy and a perfect morning, or everyday stick

How was that stick? I've passed them by a few times at the tobacconist near the house.
“The Nub of Sharon”. The ya the stick is that good

Meh. It smells good presmoke, but I don’t see the smokiness playing a role when you actually smoke it.
Good to know I'll pass.
Nitecap
A Cuppa and a nice Lot 23 to start the day. Happy Labor Day Folks
Good to hear. I have a couple of those coming.
They all have the sweetened tip. But it's not over the top.
I gave up my shelf space for my empty humidor for my wife to use for display. But all my pipe tobacco was also there. On moving it I realized I have enough for the rest of my life with my current pipe smoking rate or maybe a month for Gerry. I do still have 4 unopened tins from McClelland. So I either need to get back into the pipe game more or get rid of a bulk of the tobacco.
Or... Store it in your underwear drawer. Underwear is optional anyways
I will gladly store any and all pipe tobaccos for you, especially unobtanium stuff like McClelland.
@NurseDave , what brand pipe is that?
